Family Room Christmas Mantle

Hi Everyone! Welcome to my "Family Room" Christmas Mantle! I tried to create a bright, vibrant, and cheerful mantle display! 
I added my Fleur de Lis Candle holder and placed plants on top of it to add depth.
I have two red and green mesh Christmas trees on either side, as well as one red and green angel, too!
I did not place lights in my garland, because I felt there was enough sparkle, shimmer, and shine. 
I added red and green Mardi Gras Beads and swagged them through the garland.
I added some lit Christmas presents below.
I have two trees in this room, one in the corner and one on a table.
I tied in matching red and green bows that are extra shimmery! 
Mr. Nutcracker enjoys his time warming by the fire. ;)
On the table, I added two red tinsel trees, an ornament garland, and a shimmery silver reindeer! 
I hung three Christmas wreaths by red ribbon and tacked them into the wall.
I brought in a table and placed this Nativity set upon it, reminding us of what Christmas is all about, the birth of Jesus Christ. :)
Aren't these trees cute? You can find them just about anywhere; Ross, Marshall's, and TJ Maxx!
I added a candle and placed it in the center of this wreath.
 Are all of you enjoying your fireplaces? I sure am! ;)
I added Ferns and Poinsettia's to the top of our Entertainment Unit, it adds a nice pop of color.
You can't really tell in this picture but we have a view of lights at night, our home is perched up on a hill, and we also see the homes below us all lit up with Christmas lights....love, love, love!
I hope each and every one of you are enjoying the glow of Christmas!

I think my favorite thing in this whole room is the wreaths hanging in the windows. Love love love! I don't have any wreaths, but I did hang a gorgeous big platinum star in my window on a big red ribbon. It sits right in front of the dining area table. Nice and cozy.

Oh it's just beautiful! I ***soooo*** wish you'd made those little mini trees with the beads on them yourself so you could provide a tutorial! :) WAAAH on having to buy them!!! LOL

Carol said...

It looks beautiful and so very cheerful, Liz! We have the same Nativity, but ours is 43 years old -- nothing missing or broken after all this time. Funny story about it, though. Years ago when we first started accumulating grandchildren, I would alway find some of the pieces either clutched in little hands or hidden in obscure places around our home. After about two years of having to be watchful, I decided to simply hot glue the characters into permanent positions in the stable. Now the little ones can look, but my sweet little Nativity stays intact.

Jeriel said...

Hi Liz! I love the warmth your living room has! I love the deco mesh wreths too! I am thinking about trying one this year and am hoping it turns out great! And that view is just unbeatable:) Happy Holidays:)
