decorating a long mantle for christmas... need help
Comments (6)We always had colored lights growing up and it reminds me of home so I like them. :) Where did you see the poinsettia garland at? I would be concerned about it arriving all squished in the mail. In general larger items are better than a bunch of tiny ones. I'm sure you'll get some ideas here but the ladies on the Holiday forum are really nice and there's an inspiration album too. Categories are on the left.

Comments (38)I forgot to mention I love the idea of the planters with greenery next to the door with the christmas balls. that is so cute. I swear everytime I come to this thread I smell pine. LOL I like the greenery on the handrails. I brought fake greenery like that in Michaels a couple of years ago with the white lights in it and it looked so elegant I hated to take it down!!! Caroline your husband looks sooooo cold LOL. That is something I do not miss although they say we might get hit with lots of snow this year (NC) and I am not looking forward to it AT ALL amck I would love to see your porch and front yard. chicoryflower thanks for the compliment. The front is only a small part of the property the back is REALLY beautiful. The Orig owner was a gardner but it happens that after she passed the next owners did not do much so the whole place is overgrown and out of control. it was just waiting for my TLC!! I have copied pictures that I saw in here for real life pine decorating and next year I am going to DO IT UP!! LOL. I see right now you guys are going to keep me sooo busy....See Morehow would you decorate this mantle
Comments (44)Thoughts on my updates so far? I’ve added some more blue accents. Try to ignore the big ottoman, it won’t be in here forever. I tried to take the ottoman out to play with the space without it. My husband really wants the big ottoman in here. I told him we will be moving it to the basement once that space is finished in a few months. I’m still searching for the right artwork for the mantle. Stuff up there are placeholders for now. I’ve added a photo where I try to cover the window with artwork to see what it looks like with 1 large piece but I didn’t have one big enough....See MoreHelp with mantle decor- too bare!
Comments (32)As to colors: poppy floral art and rug - both have orangey- red? you could zing with 3rd orange [glass bowl type thing]. Or just keep the blues, brown sofa, etc., and have enough going. if this didn't work? can wear it... their display photo, see dark / grey chair with it. https://www.etsy.com/listing/940959810/100-luxurious-soft-silk-vibrant-green?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=peacock+blue&ref=sr_gallery-1-4&bes=1...See Morejlynn1187
