Winter can sometimes be that awkward season after the high of the holidays. Often times I think many take down their Christmas decor and are left with a bare naked feeling. Winter decor to the rescue and it does not have to be complicated! Here are three simple ways to incorporate winter touches throughout your home during these snowy, spectacular months.
1. Add ice skates to a wreath
Ice skates are such a universal winter decor staple. They are so easy to find and relatively inexpensive. I find many of mine out at garage sales for a few bucks a pair. For this simple idea, I used string to tie a pair of antique ice skates to a wintry wreath. Ice skates are wonderful for holiday decorating too! This wreath and this wreath are great options for this easy project.
2. Use birch wood as filler
I love to tuck birch wood logs into crocks, ice cream buckets, or stacked in front of the fireplace. But this year, I cut up a few of my birch logs to use as filler. If you don’t have birch logs in your area, this is a great resource to buy them online.
3. Add antique ice skate bottoms to a floral arrangement
Winter floral arrangements full of evergreens and pine cones are so lovely for winter. For an added vintage touch, I tucked in a pair of vintage skate bottoms. These steel skate bottoms were the original style for ice skates, as you would attach them to boots to skate. I love the rusty patina of these and they have such an adorable cutout detail on them too.
Don’t let winter get your down, add in a few seasonal touches to keep the winter blues away!
XOXO
