At the old house we had this great big mantle and I loved decorating it during the year but at Christmas time, oh my goodness I was in heaven. I could put houses on it, lights, wreaths, nutcrackers, and more. Since we have moved into the cabin we have a glorious wood stove but sadly no mantle.
Today I am having mantle-envy in the worst way. It all started because I have been talking to my pal Heather over at TwentySomething about some everyday decor for her mantle and while I was looking around for ideas I stumbled across so many beautifully stunning Christmas mantles that I am actually thinking of ways to put a mantle on our rock wall where the wood stove sits -- shhh don't tell the Lumberjack!!
So since I have been
Love this one from A Soft Place to Land - It is just screams FUN!
This Au Natural mantle I found on Jonathan Klunk is to-die-for
and would look fabulous in our cabin(if we had a mantle that is)
I am loving these Elfin looking stockings from HGTV Online.
They have such a chic look to them.
Winter Wonderland is in fine form over at Vintage Pretty.
It makes me want to go play in the snow!!

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the tag! I've got to post some over my break! You must come and do my mantle. I think a huge mantle on the wall anywhere near the wood burning stove would be perfect and is a must! I love the all white one that says "Christmas". I am thinking I could do one with fewer letters to save money...maybe NOEL. Thanks for the ideas!
ReplyDeleteMaybe a mantle can be a stand alone piece? Just a thought. It might be nice to create a focal point sans fireplace.
