Indigo Winter Living Room


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.

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 potBlue & 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!

  10. Love 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...
    Nearly time to add in Valentines heart details and put the snowmen away. Crazy!

  14. It 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.
