I decided to mix things up a bit this year. Well as much as I can mix things up since I pretty much decorate with silver and white. This year the mantel is all creamy whites and the entryway is, well it's silver like it usually is but WAY more silver than usual.
You'll get silver pictures tomorrow.
I started off with a string of white lights that I just haphazardly placed on top of the mantel. Then I covered it with a lacy table runner. I took the two small glass lamps that Kelly gave me and bought $4 lampshades at Target. I added some cluny lace to them and placed them on either end of the mantel.
Then anything I had that was creamy white was placed amongst the lights. Those snowflakes don't want to stay up there. I have double sided foam tape and sticks great to the wall but doesn't like the gritty surface of the snowflakes. Every now and then one will plop down and I'll just hot glue it back to the double-sided tape. That seems to work.
I like those lamps up there. They may stay up after the new year. I just have to figure out how to hide the cords better.
Very pretty, and quite snowy. Ahren called me last night, eager to talk about all the shopping he plans to do at the Dickens Faire.
Lovely, as always!
Very pretty Andrea. I love your decorating ideas, they are always so pretty.
That is very magical looking!
It looks like a winter wonderland-I love it. Bottle brush trees are my absolute favorite. Good job.
