Merry Mantels

Christmas is my favorite time of year. I delight in decking every inch of our halls, and the fireplace mantels are no exception.  Of course, as with all the projects on this blog, the following three mantels were decorated on a budget.  


In the family room, pine garland and white lights are embellished with  plum, gold and green ornaments, silk leaves and ribbon that mirror the Tuscan color palette in the room. 

The plum and gold wired ribbon and the ornaments were purchased using a 20% off coupon at Michael's Crafts.    White lights wrapped around the pine garland give off a warm glow and make the ornaments sparkle.  The stockings were purchased at HomeGoods several years ago.

 

In my home office, which is decorated in a color palette of coppers, browns and spa blue, the  mantle sparkles with glittery copper poinsettias and ribbon along with spa blue hydrangeas against a backdrop of pine garland.

The ribbon and florals were purchased using a 20% off coupon at Michael's Crafts

A brown velvet mantel scarf from The Christmas Tree Shops conceals the wall-mounted television's set-top box.

White lights and candle hurricanes from The Christmas Tree Shops give everything a romantic glow.

The fireplace mantle in the master bedroom is decorated in the same romantic rose and white theme as the Christmas tree in the room.  

Two Victorian tapestry stockings from The Christmas Tree Shops flank either end of the mantle. 

 At the end of a long day, it's wonderful to be able to lie in bed in front of a romantic, cozy fire, drinking hot chocolate and watching Christmas movies.
