It\u2019s no wonder why so many people leave holiday decorations up until Valentine\u2019s Day. In the cold bleak month of January, putting the season away in boxes can really put a person in a funk. Before you break out the dusty storage containers, try transitioning your home decor with a little post holiday decorating inspiration. <\/span><\/p>\n
<\/a>Use a large serving tray or a leftover gift basket, to create a winter tablescape for the family room. Gather a few season neutral ornaments (white, silver, sage or beige), pine\/winter floral picks from the tree and your favorite candle holders or hurricane jars. Arrange everything to suit your style, in the serving tray and set it on display where guests and family gather. Add some winter potpourri to keep the magical aroma of the giving season alive a while longer. <\/span><\/p>\n
<\/a>The empty shelves and vacant walls post holiday can turn a previously warm home drab. Replace your holiday decorations with winter paperwhites. <\/span>Use mason jars, glass bowls or a shallow vase that will fit on your shelves. Fill a quarter of the glass with pebbles or river rocks. Add as many paperwhite bulbs as you can fit. Top with more pebbles to hold the bulbs in place without fully covering them. You should be able to see the tips of each bulb. Next, add enough water to cover the lower portion of the bulbs without submerging them. Within a week, the gorgeous little blossoms will begin to grow and your shelves will be filled with the anticipation of Spring.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
