Wanted to show you a little more progress...
I created another Deco Mesh Wreath for my Family Room Mantle and hung it on the iron piece.
See, the mantle needed more of a focal point....this is what it looked like before I added the wreath.
You can adorn your wreath any way you would like, but these are just a few items I purchased at Hobby Lobby that I thought would work well in the wreath. I hot glued them onto the mesh and it adheres very nicely.
Sparkly presents
Christmas Candy
I was going to place the Love sign right in the center, but ended up not using it after all.
I can't wait to show you the whole Family Room. I think it's turning out very cheerful and festive looking.
Again, not finished....just wanted to share a little progress.
I put up my living room tree yesterday and completed the living room mantle, too! Anyway, last night I forgot to turn the Christmas lights off on the tree which sits center stage in the front bay window, and as I was decorating the mantle I saw a few cars driving by VERY SLOWLY...can u say embarrassing??? I nearly died, what must they have thought seeing Christmas lights gleaming through the window so early on in November? Ha! ;) Oh well, I love Christmas...what can I say!! ;)
Have a great day, everyone!

LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!! (and guess what??) I decorate my family room/kitchen area almost exactly the same!!!! WELL...that is with the peppermint candies, candy canes, red, white, green.... your decorations are much NICER than mine! There is just something about the candies and red/white/green that make me feel HAPPY!!! (must be all the sugar! LOL!) Thanks for all the inspiration.... and I surely wish I had your energy!!! Can you bottle some and send it my way.... please...... :) Just 18 more days and I'll be on my 5 day to Christmas decore run! I think I'm really liking that way you take the month to get it done.... I always feel so rushed and thrown together!
I'll be watching for my bottle-o-energy!
Sending lots of HUGS and HAPPINESS your way!
Thanks!!!!! for always sharing!

(Laughing) I can just picture you frozen like a deer in the headlights, then making a mad leap for the light switch. ❈ The wreath turned out great, you are so creative and, might I add, very patient to take the time to style your own wreaths and garlands. I love that checkered ribbon that is peeking out on the mantle and the trees are really cute too. ❈ I love being able to tuck all of your ideas away in the back of my mind before Christmas so that when it comes time for me to decorate it looks like I know what I'm doing. ❈ Just think of your early decorating as you taking one for the team (us). Although I know you love it so much it's just plain fun for you! ❈
That's hilarious!! I love the colors you used. The green really pops!!
The mantel looks so festive and fun, Liz! Love the mesh tress and wreath. The candies are fun. I bet your girls are loving it.
Funny you forgot the tree was still lit. I bet the passers by were enjoying the beautiful sight. Arriving's post above..made me laugh out loud with the "deer in the headlights" comment! ha-ha
Your Hobby Lobby is now open!!! yay...
You are inspiring me - I want to get out all of my decorations - maybe in another week!
Love it, Liz! Everything pops and looks gorgeous! Where did you find those trees? LOL about the cars driving by, they were probably like what the heck is she doing HAHAH I'm sure it looks fab! Cannot wait to see more!
Can you PLEASE do a tute on how to do a mesh wreath? Yours is GORGEOUS, I love how you decorated it!!! I have a small tree in my kitchen at Christmas and decorate it with candy garland, ornaments etc too!!!! I wish I could decorate now too!! XO, pinky
I love your mantle, great red and green colors!
Smiles,
Carol
Your mantel looks so pretty! I love the glittery look it has.
There's a house around the block from me who has had their Christmas decor lit & shining for all to see since last week.
That wreath is fabulous, Liz! I love the colors/patterns in the mesh and the gift boxes and "candy" look great. It is so abundant and full, I think it looks great on your metal piece.
GORGEOUS, Liz! It's such a fun and vibrant mantel and wreath ... beautiful, beautiful !! The Christmas picks you found at HL are perfect, too! And, LOL, at the thought of you dodging the cars driving by ... love it! I'm working on my mantel right now ... and working ... and working. LOL. Can't wait to see more of your stunning holiday house! xoxo
Liz, your mantel and wreath are wonderful. I have always decorated early. In fact my friends always teased me about decorating before everyone else. Not so any more! Everyone is decorating earlier and I think it's great. Christmas is after all, such a short and beloved season, why not decorate early? Can't wait to see the rest of your room! Thanks for sharing.
Blessings,
Sandi
It looks great! I have never used that mesh but I think I need to try it. How funny about the lights. There is a house down the street from us that has had their tree up since the end of September!!! I always laugh when I go by...at least you are into November! xo Diana

Your mantle is beautiful. That wreath sure made a big difference,it made it that much more beautiful. I am joining your Christmas mode this weekend. My decorations are starting to go up.
Beautiful wreath and mantle dressings! Love the candy picks additions! :)
I love the wreath Liz! The mesh turns out such a nice wreath, looks so full and gorgeous on our mantle. Looking forward to seeing the rest of it! xoxo
Liz, you did such a wonderful job. It looks beautiful! You are so talented and so good at everything you do. Thank you so much for sharing! Great inspiration!
Liz, everything is just GORGEOUS!! You have done a fabulous job, as always!! I can only imagine what the rest of the house looks like. Can't wait for the big reveal!!!
Hi Liz, everything looks just beautiful!! The wreath and mantle are outstanding and I love those trees!! Your holiday decor is always inspiring! Kristen
Oh Liz...you do create magic with your decor! I will enjoy your Christmas decorating, and live vicariously through you! I don't do much for Xmas decor! I always hate to see my Fall stuff go!!
: ) Kris
So pretty, Liz! I'm itching to get my Christmas stuff out. I really like the way some of the ornaments on the mantle hang over the front.
Liz,
I love the wreath!! Stunning!!
In my current post, I show pics of a Craft Fair that I participated in and there was a vendor there that had a lot of these wreaths. There are pics of hers in my post.
I love the candy accents and I wish I had a Hobby Looby near me because I decorate my kitchen using a lot of candy and gingerbread men elements. I have the whole upstairs decorated with 6 trees and will be starting on the downstairs this weekend....I like to be done by Thanksgiving Day weekend....
Hugs,
Deb
awesome job Liz! i saw those trees at Marshalls...where did you get yours? I had to laugh at your tree light story...very funny...but I am sure people appreciate your holiday spirit! how do you like the Seattle area?
i love the mantle!! the little trees are adorable, and the wreath is perfect.the little candies you added are just right. i have to say you had me laughing about the car driving by.. too funny. but i agree, you love christmas and it's your house. you will need to come up with a new saying for this brief time period, maybe happy thankmas???
Liz, your mantel and your wreath are stunning. You do the great things with the mesh. I need to give that a try. Love the cute little presents and candy that you added to the wreath. I can't wait to see more. Thanks tons for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
Girl, I have not been half as busy as you are. You sure can work your magic on that mesh. Looks gorgeous Liz!
Hi Liz, LOVE it all!!!!The mesh with bows are genius and the red and green spiral trees are the perfect ending!Your wreaths you could sell easily. I love the bright green and candy motif. I bet a gingerbread man or lady would love a home with all the candy and color!I am looking forward to all your doing.Thank you for sharing your Holiday "elf' creative processes. :)
Thanks for the laugh!! I bet those people driving by wished their tree was up and decorated. LOL
I think your mantle is just fabulous.
I have a confession, I always decorated the kitchen in reds and greens and used the kids ornaments on the kitchen tree. The tree in the den is always gold and glass ornaments (very formal), BUT I love seeing your red and green. It made me smile, I do believe that I will be changing my tree this year! I think the whole house shall be RED and GREEN.
Thanks for the inspiration,
Melissa
You are decorating already!!!!! What a smart girl! I am so amazed that I do so much work and money to have my decorations up for 3-4 weeks! No wonder you blog is called Savvy Seasons!
What a beautiful wreath. I have had so much fun perusing your past posts! There is so much creativity going on over here!
Yvonne
You are hilarious girl! I absolutely love your mantel and your wreath and always know I will get great inspiration from you! I cannot wait to get started on my Christmas decorating and plan to jump into it next week...wish me luck! :-)
Vanessa

Liz,
I love the festive look of your mantel! I'll bet it makes you smile every time you look at it... I have a similar iron piece in my family room and you just gave me an idea.... LOL
I promise you, you are not the first to put decorations up. I once went into a home on school business to find the Christmas tree up already.... And it was early August! And later I called the same home and the message on the answering machine CrAcKeD mE uP..... "Sorry we missed your call and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!" And it was late August! It takes all kinds, doesn't it?
Stunning!!! I cannot believe you are already decorating for Christmas but i will be back to see what other gorgeous decorating you have in store!
Be blessed,
Lorena
