My Winter Mantel
Create a Winter Mantel to bridge the seasons! Christmas is put away, and Valentines Day is still weeks away…so what to do…let’s decorate for winter.
I think there is never a bad time for decorating. It helps me to look forward to the changing seasons and upcoming holidays. It’s especially helpful during the loooooooooong winters/springs we have here. Basically our winters start in October/November and they don’t end until May…for reals. And it can be (I mean IS…who are we kidding here) very very tedious and depressing. So I decorate. It makes the house cheery and puts a smile on my face.
This year, like in other years mantels, I ‘shopped’ around my home. I certainly have enough stuff that I don’t need to buy anything new…so I scoured my decorations, and went room to room looking for things that would work. I knew I wanted white, and earthy…
Do you decorate all year round?
Is your bookshelf surrounding your fireplace a built-in or were they cabinets designed to be a built in? I have just about the same set-up but with brick, even the same mantel (mine is natural color but looking to paint it white).
Hi Sydney! They are a built-in that came with the house…I love them so much!
