Our Christmas Mantel

in Holidays on

Sharing is caring!

Thanksgiving has come and gone and now it’s time to get in the holiday spirit! I dug out my Christmas decorations from the basement and noticed that I had a theme going in a lot of my décor… poinsettias.

So this year instead of breaking the bank and buying new stuff, I just decided to make a Poinsettia Themed Christmas Fireplace Mantel. Come take a closer look!

I recycled a lot of the same elements I used in my Fall Fireplace Mantel… hey, this girl is trying to nest for less.

One of the main components of my mantel is the red berry garland strung across and I held it in place using Command™ Brand clear hooks… love those things! I also used one of the hooks to hang the wreath in the center of my mirror.

And of course I had to display my latest Subway Art printable. Download it for free here.

One thing that I did purchase were these little burlap red poinsettias from Kirkland’s. I just couldn’t pass them up!

Here’s a couple night time shots of my Poinsettia Christmas Fireplace Mantel. I just couldn’t help but to share a couple more photos… enjoy!

I’m really not a fan of red (if you can remember, I’m trying to phase it out of my house right now), but since we’re hoping to sell the house in the Spring, I guess I can wait a year until I buy new decorations. Hmm… might have to hit the clearance aisles in January!

SO, DO YOU HAVE YOUR HOLIDAY DECORATIONS UP ALREADY?

    Looks beautiful! I always love your printables. I’m excited to add this one to my mantel. Once I start decorating, that is…

      Ha! Thanks so much Lisa! I was having a hard time getting motivated to get the Christmas stuff up. Maybe because Thanksgiving was so early this year! Good luck to you!

    This is gorgeous! I love poinsettias 🙂 I have not done any decorating yet. Pulled my tree out of the attic and that is as far as I have gotten. Thanks for sharing your beautiful mantel!

    I am a Christmas mantle addict! This turned out so lovely; I adore all the red. And I am seriously considering adding “Go to Kirkland’s and get red burlap poinsettias” to my to do list for tomorrow! 🙂
    Thanks for sharing, and Merry Christmas!
