Christmas Mantel 2016

Each year I design a new look for the mantel.  

This "stag" or reindeer was the inspiration for my mantel this year.  

 The green cedar trees are from last year as well as the stocking holders which I use for ornaments.

I found these metal pots at Michaels and my little trees fit in there just right!   

 Red tartan ribbon woven throughout the garland.  I did this last year and loved it enough to repeat it.

 I found these snowflake pine cone ornaments at the same place as the stag.  I knew the minute I saw them what I'd do with them.

Wood twigs and pine cones- perfect for my "lodge" look.

Some red ornaments to tie into the red tartan on the garland.


 These reindeer usually go with a sleigh but this year they're a part of the fireplace hearth.
The gold cords are actually twisties made for tying on garland to a stair railing. 

This beautiful tartan Santa joined me last year (Pier 1) and I just love him.

Thank you again for visiting and I hope you'll keep coming back as I continue my posts on this year's Holiday Decorating!
