It's the most wonderful time of the year! And I love our mantle. Again. It didn't change much at all from last year, but here it is for all who want to see it:
Obviously, we painted our house, which I LOVE. I moved the stockings over to one side and added a mirrored ball thing that I got at TJMaxx a few years ago, as well as another apothecary jar that normally sits on a dresser in the corner of our living room (our tree is there right now). The last new addition this year are a couple of wired baskets filled with grapevine balls and ornaments.
This year I decided to jump on the bandwagon and buy some real greenery to mix in with my ever-faithful faux greenery. I like the look, but not the mess, and definitely not the rash that it gave my hands! And it made me wheeze. I am a loser.

So here is our mantle last year:
(OH my gaaaawsh. I pulled this up and yelled "Peach Crayon!" How did I stand that color for so long? I really need to do a updated home tour with the new paint color--sorry about that.)
And here is our mantle now:
Ahhhh, pretty much the same, but SO much better. :)
Linking this at Ten June and The Lettered Cottage!
I love the natural look of this! And those stocking are amazing - they will go with any color scheme you ever want. love.

ReplyDeleteThanks for following Sally!!
DeleteFound you through Ten June. Love the simplicity of your mantel. With that gorgeous painting, you don't need to add much.
ReplyDeleteWho is the artist?
I actually got it at Ross about 2 years ago. A lot of readers ask about it and I always feel bad that I don't have more information! There aren't any makrings or signatures on it :(. Thank you for reading!
DeleteA perfect picture and whole thing goes with the wall's colour. The small rope trees and the rope wool brings up a contrast.
