I have told you all about my obsession with white, silver and glitter this year but I also love good, old fashioned nature!
I love using natural materials mixed with silver, glass, etc.
Here I used different kinds of sticks in a silver vase (that I spray painted silver a while ago) and I threw in a turkey feather that my husband found in the woods. Next to that, I just placed some pinecones in a glass vase. That’s all FREE and great all winter long. I was able to use silver, glass and nature altogether and I love it. I really like mixing! You can group together all of your favorites things…you cannot go wrong with items you LOVE!
Here I used pinecones in a glass vase again. I just love doing that!
Here is a cinnamon broom that my husband surprised my with from Trader Joes. This thing smells AWESOME!
Here I added some acorns and a couple branches from our tree to a candle holder.
I like the nature look!
More pinecones!
Can you guess what is next…pinecones in a glass vase, lol!
I added that to the bathroom. It is simple and nice looking! And…EASY and FREE!!!!
LOL, here are some more! This is seriously the easiest thing EVER!
Last thing, I added a real wreath to our front door. I did not buy this, again, my husband surprised my with it from Trader Joes.
So that is how I decorated with nature. I love mixing things I LOVE.
Do you decorate with nature?
What you do decorate with?
Have a great week!

Pine cones are one of my favorite things to decorate with, too! I've got a basket full of some that I spray painted white :) And I LOVE cinnamon brooms, that is my favorite smell!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks fabulous. Love the look of nature and mixing in the siler is beautiful. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteBonnie, thank you for reminding us that less is more. Being bombarded by all the over-the-top glitter and seasonal advertising, it's refreshing to step back and take in the pure and simple elements from nature. My favorites are the lil' tree w/tiny pinecones, your door wreath, and the simple three pinecones in a crystal container. Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI did this for the first time this year. I did my mantle with greenery from outside. I love the look. I added some berries I bought at Michael's and everything else I had.
ReplyDeleteI love your natural decor items you have created :)
ReplyDeleteI love creating pieces that have to do with items I have gathered from outside. One recent project that I did was grabbed a few sturdy sticks from outside and stuck them in my green/glass vase. Then I hung some sparkly snowflakes that I have had forever, from the branches :)
So, so beautiful! I love to decorate with nature! I need to add some cinnamon... gorgeous! :)
ReplyDeleteI love this! I am planning on making my decor more natural next year, so I'm really glad I found your blog. :O)
ReplyDeleteBonnie, you just taught me a few tricks! I LOVE nature in decorating and you nailed the look! So simplistically beautiful without all the bling. Loving the glass objects displaying the 'stacks'. Genius.
