One thing I always had to do was improvise when it came to decorating our mantle. In the 3 houses we have owned, not one fireplace. Even when we were building this one, we talked about it, but I thought the money would be better spent in the kitchen. So.... say hello to my little sofa table. It has been our "mantle" for 20 years and it is always fun to figure out how to decorate it.
I have fallen in love with all that subway art that seems to dominate Pinterest these days. So I had to find one that would work for my "Believe" theme. (Thank you Pinterest!) These are so easy to do, I had one on the "mantle" for Halloween and Thanksgiving too. Anyway, after printing it out and picking up a cheap frame at Walmart, I needed something to balance out the other side. I went to our local dollar store to pick up supplies for another project I found on Pinterest, when I stumbled upon these cute wire trees. And they had one left in green - score!! Another thing that I am in love with this time of year is scented pine cones - picked them up on sale at Michael's on Black Friday!! They fill my hurricane candle holder along with some white and silver Christmas bulbs - it's tucked under the table. Simple and easy. How do you decorate your mantle?
