Vintage Christmas Mantel

by Myra Hope

Hey hey!! Are y’all having a good week? I’m so excited to show you my Vintage Christmas Mantel today!! It took me a couple of weeks to pull everything together, but I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results.

Ooo, la, la!

To set the stage {or mantel} I used an old window, my vintage ceiling tile wall art and an old print drawer.

I shopped my house and my Christmas storage boxes and layered a cigar box, book, old spools, ornaments, my DIY hurricane vases and fake greenery. I used a grapevine “tree” and decorated it with a ruffled felt garland sewn with baker’s twine. I love how it turned out!

On the other side, I placed my 14.00 rusty flea market reindeer candle holder. Isn’t it cute?!

Pretty!!

Remember that antique shop red and white “ribbon?” I hot glued four snowflake and star ornaments {Hobby Lobby 50% off!} on the ribbon and hung it over the window with two thumb tacks.

Until I get “real” stocking holders, I’m using three of my aqua insulators to hold the stockings up. Obviously, this isn’t the safest option, so don’t try this at your house if you have littles. Ahem.

This sled was my husband’s when he was growing up. It was the perfect addition to one side of the fireplace.

Oh my word, y’all. I’m in love with these stockings. I had grand ideas of making burlap stockings this year, but it’s just not happening. We’re doing simple things. When I spotted these knitted stockings at a local store for $7.00 each, I jumped and honestly, I’m so happy with how they look!

I’ve had the mosaic J-O-Y for a few years and I love how it pops against the darker printer drawer! The reflective, glittery-ness is beautimous.

I draped a strand of red beads over the drawer just to add a bit of color which brightened the darker drawer.

Happy. Festive.

I wrote yesterday about the fabulousness of decorating with poinsettias! Love them around the fireplace!

Do you have a mantel or a shelf that you decorate for Christmas?
