As always, changing up the decor for the seasons has been part of my decorating routine for our home.
So after the holidays, with a clean slate, I started moving things around and added some of the INDIGO and BLUES I've always loved…
Our Winter Blue Comfort |
As you can see, I moved the two wing chairs closer to the window and moved the same table I always use with them too.
I also switched my rug to the more comfortable one.
I borrowed my son's Reading nook pillows to bring in the blue into the sofa. I ordered some blue & white pillowcases but they haven't arrived yet.
Simple Coffee Table Vignettes |
I used my recent scores from Dillards and JC Penney on my Coffeetable. I wanted to use my crystals and I thought it would be perfect for winter. I also added this small Blue & White ceramic vase I scored at the thrift & two small Michael Grave jars.
Top View |
Comfy sitting area with blue pillows |
I added these small blue & white Trinket boxes to bring in the blue into the table as well |
Media Center across the sofa also had a slight update |
Love the Rock Ball accessory I got on clearance from the Nate Berkus line in TARGET |
I also moved the console table to our small hallway.
Two of my finds flank both ends |
Remember these? Blue & White Orchid pot, Blue & White Lamp & Bird Wall art all courtesy of GOODWILL?! The Blue & White Geometric tray though is from TARGET |
Piano area now flanked by 2 ghost chairs - lucite reminds me of ice, perfect for winter right? I will share what's on top later on because it needs more emphasis especially the water color painting! |
Our entry got a change as well.
My orchid is just budding at this point |
I love this small Blue & White Tray from JC Penney. It says " MEET SUCCESS LIKE A GENTLEMAN, DISASTER LIKE A MAN - WINSTON CHURCHILL" |
I placed the ottoman as a side table with the other chair and placed a tray for some paperwhites and our telephone |
I hope you enjoyed the change-ups. How about you, how often do you change-up your home? Is it by season too or whenever the mood strikes you?
Have a Great Week!

I love all you did Vel, you remind me of me when I was your age and lived in a huge house. I moved and moved furniture here and there, lol! I love all your blues, I guess we're in the same frame of mood, you and me, with BLUE in mind! Your media center is awesome, I love the decor. Your entire house has fabulous style sweet Vel, you got great taste!

ReplyDeleteHi Vel! The indigo kids in your room is stunning...love the orange tray, too. Jane
ReplyDeleteLove your blues! I edit Christmas back to what I call False Winter (it's been nearly 80 degrees here since before New Years) which includes snowmen, trees, pine cones, silver, candles, red & white snowflake plates, etc...
ReplyDeleteNearly time to add in Valentines heart details and put the snowmen away. Crazy!
Lovely color choice!! Compliments your neutrals so well:) Fabulous living room by the way!

I love the changes you made! All the touches of blue are so pretty with the soft earthy colors you have. You style so gorgeously!! I loved looking at all your pretty vignettes. Oh and I switch things up as often as the mood strikes! It's so much fun to change things around. :)
ReplyDeleteIt is so pretty the way you brought the blues in, Vel. Great job! and thank you so much for the suggestion in my office/dining room. I am adding that to my list. Sometimes it is really nice to have a fresh set of eyes on a space, and I loved your suggestion.
ReplyDeleteSees like the "blues" have struck a lot of us! I like your new finds and how you've combined them. That orange tray arrangement with the blue looks fabulous. I like how you lay things out and create nice vignettes. That's a nice generous room too- love it!
ReplyDeleteI love your blue and white updates! They make everything look so fresh! I would not have thought to use blue and white with your other colors but you have shown that blue and white really do go with everything!
ReplyDeleteI am always looking for wonderful ideas and here I have found some. I want to add blue to our family room and you have stirred up the urge now to get it done. It looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteLooks beautiful, Vel! I think your touches of varying shades of blue look great and create the perfect winter setting along with your lovely neutrals.
ReplyDeleteI love the ghost chairs! What a perfect choice for a winter look. Your pops of indigo are very lovely. I just rearranged my living room too. I've wanted to switch things up for years, and finally did it. :) Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteVel! It looks beautiful. I been finding myself adding more of the blues in my house. You home always looks so lovely!!
