This one, I dub our "Holiday Sparkle" mantle.
It was very difficult to photograph and looks much prettier in person. I'm looking forward to seeing it all light up tonight along with our Christmas tree (which I completed last night--well I decorated it, can't say it's complete).
And now I want your opinions (pretty please!). I would like you all to weigh in on which mantle you like best and I'm going to use it for the rest of the season (no more switch-a-roo-ing). Plus it'll help me get the rest of the house decorated (and by the rest of the house, I really only mean the dining room).
Option 1: Cheery Holiday
Option 2: Natural Holiday
Option 3: Holiday Sparkle
All three mantles look good with the tree and the rest of the living room so vote on the arrangement you find most appealing.
And of course, I'm linking up to the party! Head on over for some beautiful mantle eye candy!

you're probably not going to like this, but i like bits of each. i think mirror is nice, and the sparkly bits, but the red in the berries. how bout a sparkly and cheery combo with berries? but i really think anything you pick will be great!
ReplyDeletehaha! Maybe I should combine all of them! But I don't know if my monochromatic self can handle it! :)
ReplyDeleteI love all three of them, but if I HAD to choose, I would choose Natural Holiday.
ReplyDeleteHoliday sparkle for sure!
ReplyDeleteI'd like say that I like Holiday Sparkle but maybe without the string of cranberries. Just plain with the mirror and the silver pieces.
ReplyDeleteI like natural holiday the best. But all three are great.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. ALl of them. Looks like something out of a magazine.
ReplyDeletelovely!
ReplyDeleteI love how all three mantles have a distinctly different feel. My favorite is the sparkle though.
ReplyDeleteI love each one as they create their own mood. The Cheery Holiday really speaks to me as I am partial to vintage and its milk glass appeal. Like you we have dining room and living room mantles that make if fun to decorate. I found you at The Lettered Cottage Holiday Home party. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteI like the cheery one too! but i'm a sucker for fresh flowers-though, those have probably already died. you could use the bigger vases as a make shift planter and put orchids, poinsettias, or some other random red flower that blooms indoors right now. and take fresh cuts off those for the smaller vases. -robin
