Christmas 'Mantels'


Better Homes and Gardens have produced 32 ideas for decorating mantels this season!  I like four of them a lot,  what do you think?

A rich burgundy inviting mantel, or an etherial light one? mmmm?  Or even one, using a garden gate (look carefully!)  And the candles give the last one a very intimate glow.

Where I come from wreaths were only used for funerals,  so I am thinking a heart shaped twiggy affair with some red roses,  maybe.....



Have a thoroughly happy Thursday!

  1. Hi Jacqui!
    I love all of these mantels, which reminds me that I need to start working on mine.

    Have a beautiful weekend.

  3. Hi Jacqui, I adore the first one. Then the fourth one. I guess I am traditional at heart. Also simplicity and nature seem to tug at my heart these days. *hugs*

  5. Such pretty ideas! I haven't started any decorating yet - I'm still recovering from the big Thanksgiving get together! :)
    Wishing you a very lovely day, Jacqui!
