What do we do in January? Hibernate, of course. Don’t fight it, you know staying on your couch and watching 24 is quite tempting these days.
However, it's time to nest. We got new pillows last week and now we need something else to brighten up the place.
Here's an eco-savvy addition. Local artist K.C. Nelson takes found glassware items, such as this vase, and adds paint to the inside. The resulting shimmery colors brighten up any blasé décor without having to take out a paintbrush of your own. Flowers are optional. Though a few bunches of hydrangeas would certainly make the indoors feel full of life.

Glass vase by K.C. Nelson, available at Twin Cities Green, 2405 Hennepin Av. S., Mpls., 612-374-4581.
