Refresh Restyle Simple Farmhouse Living Christmas Mantel Idea
It’s November, time to start thinking about that Christmas mantel! I’ve joined a talented group of awesome decorators to share beautiful ideas to get your wheels turning! So untangle the lights, dig out the tinsel and let’s get started!
All the Christmas decor for the mantel was inspired by the banner that I purchased at Target from the $1 section, I wish I could say that it was $1, it was actually $3.
One thing lead to another and the plaid theme was born!
I’m not the only one sharing a mantel idea, thanks to Sonya – At Home With The Barkers and Melissa – Daisy Mae Belle for organizing a talented group of bloggers mantel tour!
The plaid goes great with the rustic stone fireplace.
The stockings are from Hobby Lobby.
I’m using my antique wooden sleigh, as soon as I purchase gifts and put up the tree it will be holding presents.
Chalkboard this and that ideas are everywhere, so I jumped on the chalkboard wrapping paper train! I saw some at Walmart the other day or Black Chalkboard Kraft Gift Wrap Flat Sheet 24″ X 6′ – Holiday Gift Wrapping Paper
I wish I could find some real birch logs, but these candle holders from Hobby Lobby were a great stand in. They look like they’re going to burn the stocking, but they are really in front of it.
We’re going to add gas logs soon but for now I placed white candles on a ceramic tray to create a little glow.
What inspires you when you’re decorating your mantel? Me, a $3 banner 😉
I hope you will visit the mantels of my friends:

Love a $3 inspiration! That 3 bucks went a long way. I love the plaid & the cozy feel. Well done Debbie!
Just beautiful!!! I love the cozy cabin feel. Makes me want to curl up by the fire with hot chocolate! ~Chrsity
It’s absolutely stunning, Debbie. I don’t have a mantel but I pretend like my piano is one 🙂 Decorating that space is not my strong suit but I’m learning. Sharing your post today!
Ooo, I LOVE it! It feels like a cabin in the mountains… rustic, cozy, festive. Gotta get me some of that chalkboard wrapping paper. 🙂
