You know I love my seasonal decor, but when January arrives, I want to clear the decks and have things as uncluttered as possible. In my dining room, I am keeping it simple with mostly white accents. My dear husband came home from the grocery store with a spectacular bouquet of yellow roses, and they add just the right pop of color.
The mantel is totally cleared off, and my husband complains that it looks like we are moving. lol It's ok. I am enjoying the simplicity of it.
In the foyer, my hall table is pretty sparse as well, with just a white candle and my primitive star. I am enjoying the calm look of the blue and white table quilt.
This little Township quilt is on my coffee table with a vanilla scented candle my friend gave me for Christmas. Have any of you had the Harry Slatkin Homeworx candles from QVC? Oh my gosh, they are divine.
I am continuing the blue and white vibe in the library, where my Aurora star quilt is waiting to have its binding stitched down. When I sit in my chair to sew it I can listen to my latest audio book "The Stationary Shop" by Marjan Kamali.
Lastly, here is my little tiered tray all changed out from Christmas to "Winter". Below is a close up of the top tier. I think I am going to enjoy decorating this little thing all year long.
How about you? Have you got your holiday decorations put away? Do you like to change our your decor seasonally? Do you use quilts in your decorating?

Looks so clean and relaxing…love the Blue and White. Very refreshing and so wintery looking. Our deco’s are all put away and do miss them but there is next year to plan for. Enjoy your calm!

I like the fresh, calm look of your decor! I use blue and white after Christmas for quite awhile, it’s winter here in Northern Minnesota for a long time yet!

Hmmmm…no mention of the best ‘decor’ in your photos…the fuzzy one on the couch looking slightly annoyed at his nap being interrupted! The rest looks nice, too! Our holiday decorations were down by New Year’s Eve because the cleaning lady was here & we wanted to clear the way for her!

I like your blue and white color scheme for the winter season. I find it refreshing.

I do decorate seasonally. It’s heavier in the fall and Christmas seasons. I use lots of quilt table toppers and swap those out as well. Thinking on getting a tiered tray. All I’ve seen decorated are so cute!

Your house is beautiful with all the blue and white decorations. Very calm and peaceful.

oh, your home looks so peaceful. I do love simplicity. I think the crows should come back out. I really love them on your mantle. I love them so much I almost bought one from Pottery Barn. ;o
Can’t wait to see your quilt storage idea. Happy new year!

Your beautiful home looks clean and fresh. I love all the holiday decorations but also enjoy having it put away. My quilts and wall hangings can be the bulk of some holidays decor here. Every since my mom passed I just haven’t gotten into it as much as I did before. It has been 20 years though so that isn’t really a valid excuse anymore. The cats don’t help. I have some of your suggested books requested at my library for my reader. Looking forward to reading them when they get here. Thanks for sharing those!

I’ve put out a few really simple decorations for January. I have a black metal lantern and 9 white votive candles in small crystal votive holders on our mantel. It looks calm and peaceful. I’ve used simple white candles in the living room.
I’ve started making more seasonal table runners and toppers because I can finish them more quickly and they are so easy to change out and I finish quilting most of them with crosshatching. I found a cute, simple heart table topper I want to complete for February. Better get started as January is moving right along.

All of our holiday decor is put away except the tree! Oh, and a new reindeer my mom gave me for Christmas- he’s going to stay out for another month or so for enjoyment before he goes away for next year. I realized I need to make a couple of winter table runners, as I don’t have much for January, so I think some blue and white sewing may be in my future!
