Holiday Mantel

To me nothing creates a feeling of hominess, warmth and holiday cheer like a well decorated fireplace and mantel. Below are pictures from Better Homes and Gardens, Country Living, myhomeideas.com, and Southern Living. I hope that they inspire you too.


I love this display. I like using natural elements when I decorate and using red cranberries with the evergreen garland really makes this display pop.
















Here is another great example of bringing natural elements inside.




















I also love the idea of incorporating live trees and flowers into your displays.




For those of you that are looking to make more of statement these two displays hopefully will give you some inspiration.
