A Glittery, Shimmery, Confession-Ridden Mantel Monday


Let me start with a confession: I am sorta kinda (really) running out of Christmas mantels ideas to show you. I do believe every scrap of Christmas cheer I own has made it's way onto my mantel. And, the cheer is running out.

That's right, you've seen it all.

First I showed you:



And, I got all wild and crazy and showed you these two in a single day:



And, today? Today you get this:


Confessions, revisted: This was the exact mantel I put up last year. As in, let me consult a photograph so I can remember precisely what it looked like.

This year I kind of wanted to phase out the green and go with red and metallics. But, then I decided I wanted to phase out the glitter and go with a modern lodge theme. But, then I scrapped that idea and decided to go with a lovely aqua, red and white theme.

Are you kind of seeing my great problem here?? I simply can't make decisions.

So, what did I end up with? Oh, just a little bit of everything. And, that, my friends, sums up my style perfectly.

I like to call it Indecisive Chic.

Okay, more pictures:




Uh-oh. Now you know I don't have a stocking up for my daughter yet. I just can't seem to decide which one to get her!

Oh my, I just realized my indecision has kept my daughter from getting her first stocking. Okay, I'm on it this week. I promise. 




Hmm...I'm actually kind of enjoying the green.

Maybe I won't phase it out, after all.



Which Mantel Monday Christmas mantel is your favorite??

  13. Hi! Thankds for stopping by for a visit...and now here I am! I probably would not have found you otherwise...and I am so glad I did! The last mantle is my favorite. I love all the of the trees in the traditional colors...and the wreath on the mirror...the stockings...even the red reindeer. I love it all! I have such a hard time with my mantel all year round! I never can get it right! It is really two tall for the room...quite wide...and not very deep...so I feel like I have short squatty things lined up with no dimension. My point...I will be checking out your mantels...I am in desperate need for some ideas!
