This year I did a simple mantel display for Christmas. This is the opposite of my normal approach. Typically for Christmas I do a more elaborate display then the mantel for the rest of the year is pretty subdued. But this summer and fall the mantel was very full and colorful so I decided I wanted to do something more simple for Christmas. I love the result!
Berry wreath (repurposed from our wedding 7 years ago :) placed over the chalkboard.
I love non-traditional Christmas colors (blue and white, lime green, monochromatic whites, neons, etc), but every Christmas I when I am deciding on our holiday decor I just have to go the traditional route. I'm not the biggest fan of decorating in dark colors but for 1 month a year I LOVE it! Just call me old-fashioned.

I love that yarn ball wreath. I'm sharing it with a friend of mine who is totally into crafting and knitting.
ReplyDeleteLove your wreaths! I especially love that over the chalkboard. I'm gonna have to borrow that idea. Adorable!
