Not content with decorating the lounge for christmas - I thought I would do a couple of extra options !
Other bloggers style has inspired me.
Firstly, my traditional, mostly red mantle.

Firstly, my traditional, mostly red mantle.
Or - how about a 'nearly white' mantle
For the 'almost white' mantle I used a window box I had, dried twigs from the beach, decorations and lights from my collection and other white twigs that I have had for years. I only bought the moss which was £1 and actually for another project, and a can of white spray £5 - but there is lots of this left to use on other things.
So - there is one final mantle to see. I will call it 'a little bit of bling'.
I had the votives, and silver twigs and champagne glasses. The other items were presents apart from the mercury glass balls that I bought recently - the only glass baubles I own !
I love all the mantles, but I can only keep one displayed here.
So which do you prefer, and which one do you think I left for christmas ???

I prefer the white mantel with the box! Definitely this one! So special and unique!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the white mantel. I love the idea of the window box and natural branches but I also love a little bling. (Maybe combine them?) Super job on all three! Newest follower.
ReplyDeleteVery gorgeous! I love all three, but I think the box/basket is my favorite...

ReplyDeleteYour one ambitious girl - 3 mantels! I've had trouble just doing one! I really love all three. Each is beautiful in its own way. But if truth be told the 1st one is my favorite. BTW, your mantel looks like very rustic wood, and it's ever so pretty. Thanks for joining in on Sunday's Best and sharing your creativity with us. PS - Now following you! Come back and do the same!
