Holiday Mantel!!

There is nothing prettier and more eye catching than a decorated mantel for the holidays. I'm bummed that I have been so busy to decorate my own mantel, but here are some gorgeous mantels that hopefully give me a little push to take out my Christmas boxes and get started.

Lets start with this gorgeous and simple mantel. Pears with a BOLD garland and burlap bows...stunning! {via southern accents}


This has got to be my favorite image...black makes it look very chic and elegant. {via southern accents}



How dreamy!! It's snowing {via marthastewart.com}

I always love how Lauren from Pure Style Home decorates her home...here she used stockings by Lara Newsom of Handmade Pretties for her Better Homes and Gardens shoot. How cozy!!


So whimsical;-) Silver is always a gorgeous color for the holidays. {via HGTV}



I love this simple idea that can be used with things you already have in the home. A collections of white jars and pitchers with pine make a gorgeous mantel.



Baby...I want this! Too CUTE!!! Messages over the mantel make a great welcome for your guests. {via HGTV}



Pine Cones! {via country living}



Silver and red...I love the berry garland. {via country living}



A perfectly displayed mantel. {via Better Homes and Gardens}



Oh I love this!!! A winter white Christmas...and how cozy does that chair look with the plush throw? White and rustic wood and browns is the perfect combo in my book :-) {via country living}



And here is some more white with some twigs...I love how this simple idea looks and I love the convex mirror too.

So, take out the decorations and get started (yes, I am telling myself this.) Hope this post has at least inspired you.

XoXo
