Hello Winter! (Dining Room hutch)

Winter is definitely here. 

That may not be the case where you live,
but I can assure you, it's alive & well right here. 

It was -8° degrees when I woke up this morning. 

We got snow too....alot of snow.


 
But you know what?
 
I actually don't mind. 
(Yet anway.)
 
After the Christmas decor came down,
instead of just putting everything back the way it was,
(What fun is that?)
I added a little Winter to my dining room hutch
because by the looks of things,
 
Winter ain't going away any time soon! 
 

 
I love how it turned out...white, cream,
silver/gray, gold, beige...very wintery.
 
 
 
I bought that cute "snow bird" at JC Penney.
 I hardly ever shop there, but
was glad the day I found him.
 
 
This sweet bird ornament came from Kohl's.
He didn't scream "Christmas ornament" to me,
so I'm leaving him out all year round.
 
 
Wire cloche from Michaels.
 
 
 
 Now I think it's time to snuggle up with a blanket & a hot cup of tea.
 
Thanks for stopping by!

  12. Yeah for snow! We've had a few flurries but nothing to cause to much trouble. I am looking forward to being snowed in for a few days ~ : )
    I love your winter decor.. it looks awesome.
    For the first time ever I actually put the sailboats and seashells back out on the sunporch.. I was super excited doing it. I swear, it's 30 degrees out there but looking around you would think that it was the middle of july.

    Have a great Weekend. Happy new year.

  26. So cute!
    You sound like you are getting the same type of weather there, as we have here.
    I know... it's going to be a while until we see buds on the trees, and see the tulips in bloom.

    Great job on embracing the winter season, in beauty.

    ReplyDelete
  27. WELL DONE, Gina- love it!

    I too left out wintery things, and hope to post soon.

    I wish there were more hours in a day, don't you?

    Love this winter, it is beautiful. I like the cold and I LOVE snowy white and bright blue skies and sunshine, it could stay this way a long time - just hate it loudy and grey and rainy too much, hope that doesn't happen anytime soon.

  28. Good grief at that snow! It's pretty! And the temps, now that is chilly! Love your wintry vignette, and I am just crazy about the super cute snowbird! ...stay warm! :)

  30. Beautiful! I love the bird ornament and the little snow bird. I bought 2 snowbirds similar to yours from Kmart this winter! Now I think I'll go grab a blanket and a cup of hot tea too, because that sounds really good right now!

  39. Okay the snow - looks cold. But I have to say all the white - very classic and classy looking...

  40. Loving that wire cloche. I was just at Michaels this week but didn't see any of those. Boy did they have alot of great bargains tho. Hobby Lobby also, good thing I don't have a credit card with a high limit or I'd have been in so much trouble. Now I just get to drool.
    Don't know where you live but we've had minus temps with lots of snow also. We're in western Co. West of Grand Junction, CO, close to UTah border. It's been might cold here for days now.
    Love your mantel, think I might get couple things out of holiday decos like snowmen to put on shelves in l/r. Happy 2013, love your blog.

  41. When you said what your temperature was I wanted to just crawl under the covers. I love that little snow bird and your hutch looks perfect for your winter weather.
    Hugs,
    Laura

  42. Wow, I can't even imagine "minus anything!" Your hutch is so pretty and certainly sets the inside scene to match your outside scene. I'm just about ready to start sharing some of my winter decor, but I can't seem to get away from quite a lot of color.....I'm still holding onto red and probably will through Valentines. LOL!

  51. Love your display, Gina! Your hutch is a great piece, too. I have left some areas blank right now {since putting Christmas away}. I'd like to do something a little different in certain spots.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Gina, you are getting better all the time doing your vignettes. You have a good eye for putting things together to make a pretty display. I am envious of your snow. Not to rub it in, but it is so warm here today that I left the kitchen door open to get some fresh air. I understand that we are going to get much colder weather in a few days. Who knows, maybe we will get some of that beautiful snow. Shannon
