Our house is all decorated for Christmas. In the interest of not showing you all 200 pictures in one post I'll start out by showing you how I've decorated our mantle and our kitchen.
Our fireplace mantle.
I put this green tin piece up on my mantle but saw that it was lacking something. Then I remembered Donna's fireplace mantle and how she put a wreath on top of a mirror. I already had the little jingle bell wreath and it was the perfect piece to layer on top of the tin.
I got most of the things at an after Christmas clearance sale last year. It was very fun opening up new boxes of stuff this year!
A mercury glass candle holder being used as a little vase.
The kids stocking holders.
My husband and my stocking holders. I love these. They are so "me"!
The boys stockings.

Our kitchen all decked out for Christmas.
I got the idea of hanging wreaths from the cabinet doors last year from the wonderful blog Joys of Home.

My son loves his advent house. It's filled with leftover Halloween candy!
The boys with Santa. It's babies first Christmas.
Apothecary jars filled with the breakable ornaments we won't be hanging on the tree until the baby is older.

I love your green tin on the mantel ~ perfect color! Your little wreaths look great hanging down on the cabinets ~ I love this idea! I love ornaments in apothecary jars. It's so simple and really adds some festivity to any room.
ReplyDeleteLooks wonderful. I love the tin on the mantel. I also adore the wreaths on the cabinet doors..might have to do that next year..do you mind if I copy a bit?

Anything metal gets extra points in my book!! :)
ReplyDeleteThe layering on your mantel does indeed make all the difference! Aw shucks on mine inspiring yours...
Your kitchen cabs are so much like mine. LOVE the finish! The wreath idea is really sweet and a nice stylish touch.
Thanks for linking up!

Beautiful!! I love that green tin on the mantle. I want one!! So cute to have the wreaths on your kitchen cabinets too. What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI love the tin piece, where did you find it? I thought about looking for tin tile and painting it silver for my fireplace.
ReplyDeleteI love your tin piece, too. However, the wreaths on your cupboard doors are killing me! I have small wreaths on my dining room chairs (the photos are not on my blog yet) they may get moved. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get the kitchen area cleaned up enough for pics :(.
ReplyDeletePretty kitchen decor! Love the wreaths!
ReplyDeleteI love how you decorated your cabinets...so pretty!

Oh what fun! Is it worth us building a fireplace, just to have a mantle when we live in Florida just so I can decorate it for Christmas? LOL
ReplyDeleteYours is so festive and pretty!
Blessings,

That gold pear really does it for me! Forget about the rest just add that pear everywhere and it is beautiful in my eyes ;-)

Beautiful decorations. The wreaths looks great.
ReplyDeleteI didn't take a picture, but we have that advent house, my kids take turns opening doors and I have racked my brain for ideas and crammed it with all kinds of trinkets (sp?) and goodies! How fun that you have one too! Enjoyed my visit!
ReplyDeleteThat tin on the mantle?? PERFECTION. I love everything...Come for a visit over at my place....
ReplyDeleteLove all the touches on your mantle and great idea to display the breakable ornaments in jars!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas.
Your home looks amazing! I love that you put your breakables in a jar so you can enjoy them this year without risking their safety :) Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI love it. The green tin on the mantel is my favorite. Good idea with the wreath.

I love that green tin on the mantle and the wreaths on the cupboard doors. I am stopping in from Nester's place. To see my tour click on the 'Christmas 2009' tag on the left sidebar of my blog.
ReplyDeleteYour green tin is the perfect big statement piece for your mantel. The wreath is a nice touch. Thanks for sharing!
