2011 Christmas Mantel

I scoured Pinterest for ideas for my mantel this year. I found lots of different ideas that I loved and variety of colors that I loved as well. I decided I still wanted to stick with my original color scheme of red and gold so we created the following...
I am pretty sure I blogged about this before however I didn't have my stockings from Pottery Barn yet! I will admit, this was the best $80 I have spent. I LOVE them! They look so beautiful hanging on the mantel. I think I am going to order the tree skirt next year to match.
I bought these bells at Hobby Lobby and added the poinsettia to each one. Then I hung them on both sides of the mantel (or should I say Larry hung them for me).
The wreath was one of my favorite pieces! I found it and feel in love. The Santa was NOT in the wreath. I found him and thought he would be a beautiful little addition to the wreath. Larry added him in for me and I love the way this looks together.
I added two items on each side of the mantel. A star (which I showed earlier with our elf, Mario) and this adorable little metal tree which says "Joy to the World". I love this little tree! The stocking holders were originally silver and bought on SUPER clearance. We solved that problem easily with a little bit of spray paint!
