So we have this new house, and I have ZERO winter decorations (not holiday-specific - something we can keep up until spring). This fall, we decorated 100% out of our garden and it worked great. I'm all but stumped for winter, though. Here are my ideas (please add to them).
Color scheme: white, light blue, and chocolate brown
* pine cones in glass bowls (will take a walk and find them) $0
* groups of branches or sticks for the corners and mantels, wrapped in blue ribbon about $5, though I may have some blue ribbon somewhere
* ornaments from an old box from DH's grandmother hung from fishing wire in the windows cost of fishing wire - about $2
What else???? I could do paper chains and snowflakes, but I want the house to be warm and elegant, not junky. Maybe hang them a couple of inches off the ceiling?
Other ideas?

that colour combination!

I put the greenery in vases in every room. Or hang little bunches of them from my brass chandeliers. If you mist them every few days they smell great. And cinnamon simmer on the stove with apple and orange peels make the house smell as good as it looks.
