A wreath is not only for a door.
You have seen them hung on walls, on mirrors, on a bookcase
or a decorative element for a chair.
So many ways that you can decorate with a wreath.
I have used my preserved boxwood wreath in a container in the past.
Today, it is in a container.
An antique French bread basket that is.
Rather than hanging the boxwood wreath on the shutters,
I decided to place it in a basket for added texture
and the bread basket fit the bill.
The tall candlesticks seem to be a staple on the mantel.
Added some topiaries I had on hand and a little greenery.
I am into the less is more this year.
Well, as “less” as I get.
I am also truly trying to use and decorate with what I have . . .
To re-purpose and refresh.
But that does not count when I have gift cards!!! 🙂
I am slowly refreshing rooms after the Christmas decorations are taken away.
Also, note to self: Ask hubby to light the pilot light in the fireplace.
So all I need to do is flip the switch for instant cozy!
Now off to do some more “refreshing”.
Have a beautiful day!!
Baskets are good for everything even as a wreath support. Looking good!

Thanks Kim….I was happy that I had a “window” of my blog being up to publish today. Blog up and down seems to be the norm this week. Have a great weekend!
I love the touch of greenery, Shirley. It adds a nice touch of freshness to the room. I need to get back to my decluttering. Got pulled away by appointments and stuff. Where did you get your boxwood wreath? I have seen them in a lot of blogs and they are just so pretty!

Another place that I like to hang a wreath is on a mirror. Clear Command hooks work great for this.

Love the wreath in the basket…..the little birdie is just adorable too!

The Boxwood wreath looks good in that French bread basket. I too love Boxwood wreaths. Hope you get your blog fixed. I tried to comment on your last blog and it would not let me. Have a Great Weekend!!
I love your wreath in the basket Shirley. It looks really pretty. Hard to believe we are in mid January already and Christmas is here and gone.
Your mantel always looks great Shirley, and I love this decluttered look with the simple greens. The wreath in the basket is very clever!
