    Default My minimal decorations

    Here are few pictures of my minimal decorating. I just decorated the table top, the buffet behind it and put up two wreaths. I was really just going for a winter theme rather a holiday look.

    Cool! The blue and white is pretty!

    I have done even less than that this year, since we are up at the cabin, and barely anyone ever comes here....

    I got some star stickers with a gift I bought, and those are stuck on the sliding glass doors. And we have a red w/white snowflake tablecloth on the table. LOL! That's IT!

    Pretty minimal for me! No tree, no gifts for each other. It's not 'bah humbug', but rather 'we're going to reflect on what Christmas is really about for a change'.

    Your decorations are beautiful! Very tasteful. I wish I could come over for a cup of coffee. It looks so cozy. Thank you for sharing. I have become a minimalist myself and have gone more for a winter theme.

    My kids and husband gave me my Christmas present early, I told them not to give me anything. I'll try to share a few pics if I can figure out how to post them.

    Thanks guys. No tree. I stopped putting one up a few years ago. More for personal reasons I guess. Don't get me wrong I think they are beautiful.

    I am not a Jehovahs Witness or Seventh Day Adventist, but I share thier reasons for not celebrating Christmas. That's why it is more along the lines of a winter theme rather than more holiday. I don't want to be scrooge that is not my reason by a long shot.

    Please do post some pictures!! For sure come over for coffee! I have some cookies to go with it. When I am finished with them in a few minutes I will post some pictures of them too. They go with the theme. Snowflakes.

    It is kinda funny, those trees were on sale after halloween for 70 percent off and they were scary black and spooky and I thought I could paint them and fix them up for my white singers that my mom made over 33 years ago for my winter theme.

    The thing on the buffet behind the table is an ornament stand I got at the dollar store. All the ornaments have kind of a snowflake theme or shape. In person it looks neat and for a buck it was worth it.
