Once the holiday decor comes down, things can look a bit bare.  It’s nice – in a clean, uncluttered way – but also almost lonely. And in the cold, the flowers aren’t exactly blooming to liven things up that way.

Instead, try taking a just a few simple blooms or branches, separating them out, and let the vases be focal point.  I gathered a few tulips in champagne glasses and loved the fresh take.  And then I saw this picture and thought the colored vessel was really what January needs.

My way to do it though utilizes things you may already have on hand … things like colored glasses and barware, votive holders, pitchers, even shot glasses.  Of course vases and bud vases work too, but get creative and mix things up.

Jewel and fire tones will warm and brighten even the dreariest of days.
