Christmas Mantel

Hi Everyone! How are you all? We are really enjoying our snowy Sunday!  It has been snowing on and off all day, and really feels like Christmas!

Today we wanted share a Christmas Mantel.  We used all cedar on this mantel and love how it turned out!






I added a decorated bow to the picture frame.



I added hanging cedar garlands, and cedar pics to make it nice and full.




I love love love this cedar. The feel and texture is so realistic it is amazing!


I might change the greens on the neck of the deer, I haven't decided!  What do you think?


  
I will show the trees in the next post, I wanted to try something different this year!  Thank you all for stopping by, we hope you are all having a wonderful Holiday Season!!!

    What a lovely mantel, vignette! I have been going around the yard snipping greens to bring in while we work on the reno for the girls. Since we haven't bought decorations here, Mother Nature has given us some great decor to work with. I love your mantel display!
