Hey everyone!! Hope you are having a great Friday! Time is just slipping away from me 🙂 Christmas is less than two weeks away!! We have been doing some house remodeling, which I am excited to share with you! But, today I want to show you my Christmas mantel is case you are still looking for ideas.
A few days days ago I showed you a sneak peak of my mantel with the Pottery Barn giant ornament hack. Today I am going to show you around the whole mantel!
If you have been following along here at all you might remember that I mentioned that I actually have 2 mantels in my house! This house has had multiple additions over it’s some 60ish year existence. Along with those additions came 2 mantels and the removal another fireplace. Let’s just say this house has got some character. If you want to see how I decorated my other mantel for Christmas this year head over here.
For this mantel I went with a more traditional red/green/wintery theme. My inspiration came from here.
I love how real this garland looks!! I got one of these last year from Joann’s. I loved it so much that I went back this year and got another one. These wood stars are one of my favorites and are also a DIY. I will put up a tutorial for those soon!
This gold filler is another Joann’s find. I love the texture that comes from the vase filler. This vase has been seen a few different times in our house and it came from Home Good’s a couple of years ago.
I love the after season sales. Most of these items were purchased in years past at the end of season sales.
To add height to the other side of the mantel I used a candle holder with a gold dipped candle. I also used one of my apothecary jars to fill with some left over ornaments that I had.
Thanks for stopping by today!!
Do you decorate for Christmas using traditional colors or non-traditional colors?

Thanks Emily! I really like how it turned out!
Hello, I decorate traditional and working on getting my post up. I love your Ornament sign, and the whole mantel is beautiful. I will check your Pinterest out!
I make these with my students in my classroom. We do not bake ours. We put them on cardboard with a straw or unsharpened pencils in them. As they dry the hole will not close up with the straw of unsharpened pencils still in them. It takes about two weeks for the ornaments to completely dry. In the meantime, my classroom is the envy of the entire school! Everyone comes down to see what we are doing to make the school smell so good.
I love it i’ll do the same in my home thanks for the idea
