This first month has flown by, it seems that time passes quickly if you're not paying attention to it and so I find myself looking onto February wondering where these last 30 days have gone. Before January melts away completely I though I would sneak this Styling the Seasons post in. I've been so busy sorting/decluttering the lounge and kitchen that once again the bedroom has become a dumping ground, and it seems the contents of our lives are in constant circulation of this space, being moved systematically from one room to another.
To be honest I feel a little weary as we approach the end of this month, rather than pushing through the constant busy, I feel like packing up and dancing barefoot on a beach feeling the warm sun...hmm maybe I have got the January blues.
I found this beautiful scandi-style candle holder in a charity shop, it was looking a bit sorry for itself so I brought it home and cleaned it up. I've since learned it's from Ikea – good old Ikea – and you can find one similar here, just perfect for keeping rings and jewellery on. I also got these vibrant pink ombre candles from Butlers to add a bit of warmth and colour, and hopefully help ease away these January Blues.I've kept this seasons styling super simple, bringing together fresh greens with a nod to winter months with these dried hydrangea stems, and I couldn't resist a touch of gold to compliment the grey marble surface.
To get involved all you need to do is share your photographs of your styled surface on any day this month – use Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or your blog, if you have one. Please tag Katy and Charlotte and use the hashtag #StylingTheSeasons. You can also search the hashtag for styling inspiration from the other wonderful bloggers and creatives who are taking part.
So there it is, my simple January style. How have you found this month?
Your photos are gorgeous - lovely style x x
ReplyDeleteMmmm, dancing on a beach in the sun - yes, please! I can't quite believe a month has flown by, too, but looking forward to brighter, warmer days soon. Love your styling and so hear you about clutter constantly circulating around the flat; it is a constant battle. Look forward to seeing you next week xx
ReplyDeleteSome lovely pieces and what a nice idea to style your home for the different seasons.
ReplyDeleteI love the stand that the scissors are in. I love the scissors too!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful,love the candle holder. I'm so with you on the January blues, this month seems to have been the longest ever and yet eerily fast, how can it be February in just two days!? x
ReplyDeleteI love hydrangeas in all states. You;ve just inspired me to look if we still have some outside. *dashes off to check*
ReplyDeleteYour gold scissors are great. Did you paint them yourself?
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the gold and bright pink. That candle stick was a great find and you've really brought it to life with the bright candle. Also, hydrangea love!!! x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures. So far I've been decluttering rather than picking up new things for our home, but you've inspired me to get on down to the charity shops - there are some great things there at this time of year.
ReplyDelete`I too wonder where January has gone. I never even thought of having a whole dried Hydrangea heads.
ReplyDeleteLooks so simple but beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love the candle holder. Using a bright coloued candle has made it look very classy.

ReplyDeleteLovely styling babes. I took feel the same about January. I think we all get a touch of the winter blues and dream of beaches and sand between our toes. I hope February is brighter for you.
ReplyDeleteSimple is always better! Beautiful photography too!

ReplyDeleteI am glad it isn't just me that's finds decluttering one room generally leads to cluttering a different one! Lovely pics, so simple with some bright colour to cheer up the grey months.
ReplyDeleteI love the candle holder what a great find and the candle is perfect

ReplyDeleteI love the dip dye candle, makes something quite old fashioned really quite stylish! :)
ReplyDeleteI love good old Ikea too. More than half the contents of our home must be from there.
ReplyDeleteDo you know if #StylingTheSeasons will run in February too? I like the idea of it.
ReplyDeleteI was imagining your beautiful clutter free house all tidy, then read your bedroom had become a dumping ground and instantly felt better :) My house is a tip at the moment and I so wish I could be more minimalist! Love these items, so stylish x
