Our Dining Room Mantle Decorated For Christmas

~*Welcome To Our Dining Room Mantle*~
The garland, wreath, and trees I purchased at Target.  I'm not sure what I was thinking when I bought them, I just knew I wanted the room to look fun!
I added a Santa plate and called it a day! ;)
I did use a black candle holder to add height to one of the trees.
I like the funky texture it adds to the room.  My tree is kind of crazy looking, so why shouldn't the mantle look a little fun and crazy, too! ;)

I haven't done a pretty table display, I just haven't had the  time. *blush*  I am really enjoying everyone's Christmas decorations. Blogland is full of so much inspiration, isn't it? Well, I hope to be back later this week with another post.  Have a great week! xo ~Liz

You need to teach me how to tie awesome bows like that..... Love how they flow down the sides of the mantle! I tried but mine looked more like a four year old did them, ha!

Shelia said...

Hi Little Liz! Oh, I love your display in your dining room! The trees and wreath look wonderful and the little plate looks so cute! Your tree is so fun and I love the polka dots!
I've just been to see Penny and she said she'd copy catted you. Now I'm going to scroll down and she what you did! You're an amazing young woman! Love your header with your pretty girls! :)
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)

I have officially (in my book that is) named you the Queen of ribbons and bows! You really know how to work them! Looks great...fun and whimsical. I think the tinsel trees and wreath are really cool....and I am not surprised you haven't had time to decorate your table yet with all the other decorating you've been doing!

I think this may be my favorite room you've decorated for Christmas. Don't get me wrong, the others all look fabulous, but I love the simplicity and the whimsical touches you have in this room. And the table is set perfectly! Well done!

Liz, Love it all, I admired those wreaths in Target. I have the same Santa plate! I love your candy stripe plates..... do you remember where they are from? Working on my decor and remembering all my sweet and precious friends every time I tire......Thank you for your endless kindness and inspiration to me and my family. If Santa could give me one gift it would to be near my sweet friend and all the other kind ladies to me...Love visiting your dining room, the red is perfect Liz, Blessings and Love to you.
