Winter Mantle 2011
Well here we are doing our Winter mantles for 2011, already!
2011 Winter Mantle
I really like the touch of orangy/red, old books and white pillar candle.
Here’s the gold picture frame I painted white and then sprayed chalkboard paint on the glass.
The wreath was made from ripped pieces of fabric and knotted onto a wire frame.
I’m still not sure what I really think about the wreath.
What’s your opinion?
Here’s what my mantle looked like last year.
Now to be honest, those branches drove me c.r.a.z.y!! I really like how some people use branches in their decor but these were just too big and sprawling. I felt like I was having Halloween at Christmas time. I just needed to add a few cob webs. 🙂

I like the bits of color and I think your wreath ties the color and white together nicely. Last year’s mantel was pretty, too! I had to laugh about the cobwebs, though! You are very creative!

Your mantle looks so lovely…and wintery! So creative.

Thanks for your encouragement about wordpress- Your mantle and whole site are great! Hopefully I won’t get so discouraged with figuring out wordpress. I really enjoyed reading the “about” page o your family.

I love the wreath! Such a simple idea, yet it really ties the decor together. It adds that extra holiday touch that completes the look you were going for. Thanks for the inspiration!
