Winter White Coffee Table Decor


So the holidays have come and gone and the decorations are all packed away. The living room feels a bit empty, but it also feels clean!! I am literally starting the year with a clean slate, well in the living room at least.




For my first project of 2014 I pulled out the fence board box my husband made last fall. Actually he made three for me and a couple for a friend of mine. I probably made him meatloaf for dinner that night. When negotiating a favor with him, there is almost always meatloaf involved.


I wanted to change the box up a bit for the new year so I decided to stencil something on it. Keeping with the french country decor that I wish I had, I googled "florist shop in Paris" and L'Arrosoir came up. So L'Arrosoir it was!


 I also added a "bin pull handle" (I googled that too) to both ends of the box.


On one side I laid a rusty metal garland around the base of the box. I got the garland at Real Deals last fall. I love how each loop is crimped.


I painted and sanded the board that the box is setting on several times, trying to achieve a weathered winter white look.





I am really liking my little bit of winter white decor.


Below is a picture of the box last fall.


Below is a picture of a box that I painted for Christmas.



The next two pictures are of the actual L'Arrosoir floral shop in Paris.





 Do you have some winter white decor going on at you home, or are you enjoying a clean slate for the new year? Leave me comment about your favorite January decor, or if you have ever been to L'Arrosoir for sure let me know. I love hearing from you!

Thank you for stopping by today! I appreciate your visit.

Happy New Year!

    I soo love this decoration. I did some detective work and found the white berries are called "snowberries" and grow on a bush. I am going to look for a bush to plant in my yard. I have seen them around Reno/Sparks!

    I'm reaaally hoping I can find some materials at garage sales this year to make something like this. Or maybe even just find something like this already made! I love scrounging for vintage stuff like this at sales.
