2016 Christmas Mantel ...
I had already removed the little red truck; some bottle brush trees and snowmen from the full picture above.
THEN ... my Christmas mantel was pretty easy to change to ...
a "shades of white" Winter Mantel
I
left the three beautiful white wooden columns on the right for the
birds to perch on. The tall one with the finial top is a architectural
salvage newel post ... the short one ... just a piece of a column and
the third one toward the center was a vintage 1950/60 table lamp.
The two wooden white trees hung around a little longer for a white wintry look. I added a plug-in night light behind the columns.
On
the left side, I use two vintage ironstone pitchers, one with white,
yellow and green pip berries. The chippy terracotta riser gives height
to balance with the tall columns.
Of course, I have to leave my tiny white lights because the mantel is so dark without them.
In the middle under the beautiful carved wooden frame,
is a vintage oak-splint market basket filled with faux, dry-look
hydrangea. The frame was left empty for awhile, but just had to add my
dried artichoke bunch tied with a burlap bow that I made years ago.
(hot glued to the rock)
I
had to replace several missing pieces of the splint and paint it white.
Hope to post how I replaced the pieces in another blog. I added a
string of white lights in the basket and pulled some up into the
flowers. Love how the light shines through the basket.
To get the aged look, I did a wet-wipe while the paint was still wet.
The wooden tree is in two parts and just slides together.
Still enjoyable at night.
Thanks for your visit. 
Hope you will let me know you were here.

ReplyDeleteSo beautiful Audrey--loving all the white and the balance you've achieved in your display :)
ReplyDeleteYour mantel is just perfect for these days of winter, Audrey! Each piece is so beautifully placed. I really adore the kitten doorstop. It adds just a light of color and charm. Very lovely! Enjoy your afternoon. ♥
ReplyDeleteKitties in love! I could curl up with a book in front of this mantel to snooze and read - such a serene space.
ReplyDeleteThat looks really peaceful and cozy! I still have some faux pine greenery and pine cones out - even though it's like spring in Central Texas, I do love the simple beauty of winter.
ReplyDeleteAudrey- It looks just lovely. It is really a warm, cozy feeling room and I love the fireplace. Love the basket and, of course, your kitties. xo Diana

Hi Audrey, Your mantel looks so pretty and peaceful. I bet you enjoy sitting quietly and sipping a cup of tea beside it. Nancy
ReplyDeleteSo cute. I'm late giving it a look. I bet it looks springy by now. I love the brackets. I'm on the hunt for some nice chunky corbels but I don't want to spend an arm and a leg. Happy March.
ReplyDeleteWhat a warm and inviting theme, Audrey! Love the dried artichokes in the middle of the frame. It's a great focal point to your lovely arrangement!
ReplyDeleteDearest friend..thank you for coming by today...so sorry I haven't been over here in so long..Bill got sick in Feb and nothing mattered but taking care of him. When things weren't going to get any better, we brought him home for his last 2 weeks. Hospice was a God Send...they were so nice and helpful. David, Stacy and I took turns staying up at night with Bill..thankfully, he suffered no pain with this mean, nasty, fast-growing cancer. He enjoyed being taken outside in his wheelchair until he got so weak he couldn't do it any more. The last week was the most horrible thing we've ever been thru..but he was unconscious most of that time.
ReplyDeleteWe are doing ok..very hard but we'll make it.
Hoping your sweet hubby is feeling better.
Hi Audrey ! This is your friend and fellow Texan Patricia from Corn in my coffee pot! I’ve been away from the blogs almost 3 years now— went away to college at 50. Your blog is one I always enjoyed.

Email me and I would love to hear how you’re doing and what you’ve been up to
ReplyDelete. Take care and Happy New year!
