The only month that I don’t ended up rearranging my mantel a dozen times is December. The other 11 months of the year I find myself adding, taking away, and constantly shifting items to try and get that perfectly curated mantel that I see in pictures. Three years with the white beast and I still haven’t nailed a a great look. So when it’s time for holiday decor, I gladly sweep everything away to the attic and start with a fresh palette! No second guessing here- I have a crush on my own Christmas mantel. Creepy? Maybe, but I’m spending a lot of time with it lately and loving it a little more each day.
How the details came together…
I’m excited to be sharing this post to several holiday link parties soon! By the way, the chocolate covered gummy bears attempt last night was a hot, sticky mess. I still need to play around and see if I can come up with a better method before sharing it with you guys.
I have the same problem with my mantel all year too! I think you did a great job, such smart ideas. It looks fab!!

Thanks, ladies!! Love hearing your sweet comments.
That’s so gorgeous! You’re making me want want a mantle to decorate even more than usual!
Yes, Tan, but then you’d have the other 11 months of constant rearranging!!
Where is your mirror from? I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s from Lowe’s. I purchased it couple years back, so I’m not sure if they still carry it.
I’m loving the gold and green! It looks so fresh and modern, but with the perfect amount of rustic thrown in. Very nice and perfect for a cozy fire 🙂
Gorgeous! I love the garland – I can’t wait for the tutorial!
I just love the mini trees and striped gold candles. This makes me wish I had a fireplace mantle to decorate.
So pretty!
Would love if you stopped by the Holiday Linky Party – mantels – to link it up! The party is happening NOW!
