Winter Decorating

Shortly after the New Year I took down all our Christmas decorations. On the one hand I am sad the holidays are over but, on the other, I won't miss the clutter the decorations cause. Despite loving the uncluttered feel of my home, it does start to feel a little bare after a few weeks.

Then I got to thinking. Just because the holidays are over doesn't mean you can't continue to decorate (sparingly, of course) for the winter. Here are some great ideas I may try.
