CHRISTMAS MANTLE 2014

Hello, dear friends!

I hope everyone's week is going well.

I have been busy trying to finish all my Christmas decorations. Almost there!

Since I am still adding the final touches to the other rooms and it is raining so I can't take pictures of our front porch, today I am sharing with you our mantle for this holiday season, which is finally finished.

I warn you, lots of pictures! :)
It is taking me so long this year, because I literally made everything to decorate our family room. 

 On the left side of the mantle you will find my old homemade trees which have been dressed up 
for this year new theme.

 In the center I used two glass vases from Homegoods filled with ornaments and the "Joy" letters I made.
After we decided on going "green", I had to give them a new look.

 On the right side, I just used my old lantern from Kirklands 
and created a little Christmas scene inside.

 On each end of the mantle you will find my old metal vases which got spruced up with some new burlap ribbon.
The branches came from one of our trees and I used Epson salt to give them a winter look.
On each branch I added one of this little owls.
They were sooo cute I just couldn't help myself. :)

I used my old lighted garland we had for years and just gave it a new look.
This is my first time using mesh ribbon, so I was a little worry about the outcome. :)

 For the hearth, I made some new pillow covers, filled up a basket with white and green poinsettias 
and made another sign, which I decorated with sparkly snowflakes from Dollar Tree.
My husband made me the little frame to finish it off.

 And that is our Christmas mantle for this year.

 Thank you all for stopping by!
I am off to visit your blogs, which is dangerous because I always find more beautiful Christmas inspiration. LOL
I will never be finished this year!

See you all soon!
