A Simple January Vignette

2011 01 24_2127

It felt so good to put all my Christmas decor away!  I LOVE Christmas decorating but after the new year when it is all put away, my house just feels so clean, simple and fresh!   LOVE that!!! :)

I kept my house totally “undecorated” meaning I didn’t put anything back that I took away for my Christmas stuff.  (except for the bigger stuff).

It took me a couple of days to get used to it but I LOVED having less stuff around! 

But this week I was itching to bring a couple of new, fresh items out!

So I decorated my favorite little table in my house.

This is one of the first things that you can see when you enter my house.  I love this little table and bought it a couple years ago from a garage sale for only $30! Boo-Yah!!!

I knew I wanted to use this frame that I bought from a garage sale over the summer.

So on Saturday, I took pictures of my little kiddos to fit the frame.

I wanted to take new 2011 pictures that would be neutral and match my house.

So I used my house as the background…I knew that would match, lol!

Then I added a couple of other light  accessories.

I wanted a simple and fresh look! :)

And I just had to add a little pot of flowers.

I LOVE flowers…even though these are fake.  Shhh, lol! :)

Simple. Clean. Fresh. Light.

What kind of decorating did you do after you put all the Christmas decor away?

Did you cut back?

Did you change it up at all?

Have a great day! :)

    Very cute! We didn't put anything back because we are going to be painting and putting in Hardwood floor.

    It looks really pretty Bonnie! I love the pictures of the kids. They're adorable. I took down the Christmas stuff & put the other stuff back where it was because I haven't felt like thinking about it!
