{ Refreshed Living Room }

 This week seems to be flying by all considering...Today I had a really important meeting. I took the rest of the day to clean up the front & backyard yard of debri & Christmas, got lunch out with my gram, washed my Jeep & relaxed! It was the first pretty sunny, but blustery day here in Michigan in some time...Had to take advantage if it! I photographed a few spots in my upstairs living room after Christmas & I thought I'd share it with you!! It's not winter, but not spring- something in-between ha....Anyways come take a little peel below! 

 

Sorry I've been sharing this space a lot! To be honest I think I mentioned, but my lower level is still winter Christmas cabin..well kinda of all year ha! Anways I blogged this winter fireplace a few days ago & since have removed the bare Christmas tree & added a few new { old} items....A mix of winter+ spring & lots of texture!!

This little tree on the coffee table is still going strong & I just added some circa 1920s metal candleholders, vintage plate & some jute goods for a layered look!

 

I know this post was very short, but more to come soon!! Are you decorating for spring or still winter?

{ Antique Winter Mantel }

 Happy Sunday! I wanted to share this post before Monday because it's my last super wintery post..aka with the bare Christmas tree! Soon after this photoshoot I cleaned & restyled the majority of the upstairs! Seeing how it's only 14 degrees out on this sunny Sunday I thought it was right to share the last winter post! Anyways come see this cozy winter mantel below....

  

I wanted to end my winter season with this comfy textured fireplace mantel!! I love the simplicity of the chunky neutral black & wood candlesticks paired with the large white pillar candles!! I need all the warmth & glow here with our Michigan winters!! 

 

I added a ton of texture, but kept the decor at a minimal.  From the tree skirt to basket & greenery...this space feels like a tidy winter cottage!

 

I added " Willard" my vintage duck decoy I found last year antiquing to the mantel too. I loved the brass, simple wreath & Willard all paired together! Faux antique goodness for this winter look!! 

 

I love the bold, yet whimsical look in here, or did..because this space is completely different as I'm typing this, yep already haha!

  

I hope you enjoyed this winter glow in the upstairs living room! Do you still have your tree up?

{ Fresh Winter Collected Cabinet }

 Wow what a hiatus from the blog!! I'm so sorry it's been over two weeks since I posted!! I didn't intentionally do that, I've been physically sick since the last week in December! Christmas was a bit rough/ different this year but nonetheless still amazing!!.. Until I got extremely sick!! I ran a 103 temp for days, bronchitis & just grossness. More unfortunately so my family got sick { I had something different} , so I felt helpless for them. Today though I'm back with a freshened up whole house & one particular space/ piece for winter!! Come see the first freshened up area of 2022 below...

 

This cabinet needed attention so badly! I wiped, organized & displayed my glass antique bottle/ mason jar collections & added a ton of warm winter textures, candles, woods & of course vintage goods!

 

I kept the inside simple with my glass collections, baskets & items that I use/ match one another for a cohesive fresh clean appearance. 

 

The pine trees on top of the cabinet are faux & the coffee table top one is real! I'm doing my best to keep it alive....

 

This cabinet throughout the year from different stylings/ shoot can become the "catch-all" , so it needed a simple cleaning & styling...

 

I hope you enjoyed this fresh winter cabinet!! I just thought, I should've shown a ' before' photo, but that would have just been embarrassing haha!! 

• What's the first area you tackled after the holidays??
