For our second Christmas in the house, I had a little more time to get creative with the mantel and built-ins surrounding our fireplace. For the first time in my life, I started decorating for Christmas before Thanksgiving, and it felt good!
One thing I knew I’d be using was this old window I found at a barn sale in October. I just love it hung with a wreath and surrounded with lights. I balanced it with my shipping old greenhouse on the other side.
I have been loving all the flocked greenery I’ve seen online, so I bought a couple small trees and a garland that are flocked. I just love the snowy winter feel!
For the mantel, I paired the garland with a darling creamy white Pom Pom garland and some rustic bells. I supplemented the garland with some additional greenery picks and, of course, twinkle lights!
I also tried the asymmetrical trend, and I love it. My symmetry-loving husband was skeptical (once he noticed 😂), but he gets to keep his big speaker on the mantel so he doesn’t have a say in how I style around it!
Most importantly, Lily seems to love it! 🐶🌲❤️
