Christmas Mantel Reveal

DIY & Crafts

If “woodsy traditional with a bit of sparkle” was a design style, I’d have it down! This year I’ve been into traditional Christmas colors, natural materials, and a few hints of shine & glitter.

I’m VERY excited to post my house tour photos tomorrow. As a teaser, I’m revealing my Christmas mantel today!

I love  the bronze metal matting on Santa’s portrait. It’s shiny!

 I’m obsessed with these stocking hangers from Target. Stocking Hanger Close Up
 
 Mom found this sweet little “The Night Before Dog-mas” book several years ago. I read it to Maddie on Christmas Eve. She seriously cuddles up and last year feel asleep while I was reading to her.  I promise it is the only night of the year that I read my dog to sleep, but the book is so darn cute I can’t help myself! I also use it as a hint on whimsy on the mantel.

Dog Stocking

This is my absolute favorite thing on the mantel. It’s a wooden nativity puzzle that I purchased from a local woodworker (for $5!!!).
It is so precious and gives us a reminder of the reason we celebrate.

So that’s our mantel this year – what do you think?

      Thanks! We flip-flopped between brick and stacked stone, but I’m pretty happy with our decision.
