There is a Mantle Inspiration party going on over at Beth's. We decorator types like to get new ideas, so I thought I'd participate.
This is my mantle from 2009.
This is the mantle from 2008. Sorry, not the best angle.
If you'd like to see many other beautiful Christmas mantles visit the party here. We'll see if I can come up with something different this year. Have fun browsing!
You did a lovely job with your mantel, Karen...I love the garland and want to try making some sort of banner or use garland this year. I love the look.

Ooo, I really like both of them! Thanks for linking up!
ReplyDeleteYou have such a talent for design,Karen. The '09 mantel is especially appealing for it's simple elegance--abundant but not overdone. Tell us about the painting?
