‘Tis the season to start decorating the mantel! If you are anything like me, I wanted to try something new this year than the tired decorations of the past. So, I took a bold risk and spray painted my boxwood wreath white! I was very pleased with how it turned out. Now that my mantel "centerpiece" is complete, I need to focus my attention to the rest of the mantel. I’ve assembled a few photos to get us inspired. Have you finished your mantel? Post pics on the community site! We would love to see them!

wonderful ideas!
Those are beautiful ideas; now I just need a mantle! We have a window between our kitchen and living room with thick molding, and I’m thinking about decorating it with our stockings and foliage!
Such fun ideas! I love the Baby it’s Cold Outside chalkboard.
This post makes me wish I had more than one mantel!
just what I have been looking for, mantle ideas!
my mom bought a beautiful old mantle last month and we have yet to decorated, this should inspire us!
I wish I had a mantle over my fireplace to decorate.. these are all so beautiful! I’m inspired by the decorated sideboard – I’m going to find a place to make a “mantle” display. Thanks for the ideas!
who needs a mantel, I have a shelf and some stockings, and lots of glitter, I am good to go, thanks for the ideas.
I love the idea of painting the old and tired wreath. Before we had a mantel we hung stocking on the kids doors.
So many cute ideas! I already decorated my mantle, but I wish I have a million mantles to do different pretty ways!
This post makes me wish so much that I had a mantle…our family currently hangs our stockings on a railing going up the stairs, but these are great inspiration photos!
What gorgeous pictures! I love the 2nd one and the nutcracker themed one. I wish I had a mantle of my own!
Hey Kristin, Cool site. I found it via your mom’s Christmas letter. Can’t wait to read more.
Especially love the blue and white!
Love these ideas. Simple and elegant!
LOVE the chalkboard idea especially!
