CANDY CANE MANTEL...




Just a little glimpse of our Mantel decorated for Christmas last year. Since we are living between our old house and the new house there won't be much decorating done this year. My daughter now owns are old house so I can't wait to see what she decides to do for decorating.

To give my mantel added fullness I used two tear drop swags that I wired together and then I added lights, ornaments, candy canes and a few snow flakes. I love the lush look the swag gives the mantel. I can't wait to see how everyone decorates their homes. Wishing you all the best this Christmas "SEASON"!

  8. Hey Kim, love your mantel from last year. I agree with you about making a garlands lush, it makes such a difference. I'm sure you miss decorating since you are moving.

  9. Of all the decorated mantels I've seen so far, yours is one of my favorites. So pretty! Candy canes (and gingerbread men) will get me every time! ;)

    I can definitely relate to living between old and new houses! This is the second year I've missed participating in Blogland decorating parties because I've been involved in the loooongest renovation & move in history and haven't taken the time to decorate.
