Hi there!
I'm so excited that you joined us.
If you're new here, I hope you have a look around.
Inspiration for this years mantel was easy peasy.
A white theme just seemed right, you know~
This alluring aqua was a no brainer
Adore it!.
More aqua love happening here.
Paper whites were a must.
I thought I had planted them early enough to make a debut for the party...but.
That's ok.
Patience is a virtue.
Along with the white/aqua theme I wanted simplicity to nestle right in.
What's prettier than a package ;)
The stockings were from last year.
How much fun are snowballs!
You can make them too. Here.
A painted branch from the backyard.
Priceless....really.
Small white birdies and aqua ornaments came from the Dollar Tree.
I hope you enjoyed your visit here.
Want to see more Christmas mantels?
The girl's are having a party over at Layla's!
Come join the fun!

P.S. Ahem, no close up of the Robin's nest? :) LOVE that!
ReplyDeleteI adore that white branch and the aqua looks oh so pretty with the white. Such a creative and beautiful mantel!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love those aqua ornaments. The Dollar Tree? Are you kidding me? Wow. The branch...genius. The birds...love them too. The idea of putting paperwhites in an apothecary jar is truly inspired. Thanks for this lovely peek inside your home.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping your snowy white mantel will be just the ticket to bring snow to the bayou and to central Alabama!! PS ~ love the airness of the look, too!
ReplyDeleteI am in charge of our church Christmas party and I am totally stealing the branch idea for the centerpieces.
ReplyDeleteSo very beautiful! I really like your color choice!
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous!!! Love love love your mantel and the birdies... and everything really! So wish I had a mantel... but living in tropical North Queensland.. we just don't have them....:(
ReplyDeleteThankyou for the beautiful inspiration,
Lou

Looks beautiful! May have to use your branch idea in my bedroom!
ReplyDeleteSo serene and lovely! :) I wanted to do the whole aqua and white theme this year too, but I would have had to buy a ton of stuff...so maybe I'll get it on clearance this year for next year. :) I'm frugal that way! lol
ReplyDeleteHave a great week and see ya at Laylas....I couldn't wait to post mine early either! :)
Hugs

Jealous :) beautiful set up!

I Love your blog! I also use painted branches to display my holiday art! Love it!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful Susie. I am seeing lots of blue this year. I didn't do blue...instead am back to the traditional colors for the most part. Don't know why, just had an idea to do that.
ReplyDeleteIt is so beautiful - I love the present under the cloche!
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous! I love the aqua and white! All your detail is so pretty, love the present and the snow balls in snow!!
ReplyDeleteEverything is beautiful. I absolutely love the aqua and white!
ReplyDeleteSusie...your mantel is so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE those snowballs and the aqua ball jar is my fave!
I cant find any of these where I live :(
All the whites draw me in...so pretty!!

I LOVE your mantel! It is beautiful! We are in the process of renovating our new home we are just purchasing. It has 4 fireplaces! I have never had a fireplace mantel to decorate ever and am so excited about this! I am now following your blog and will follow on twitter as well, as I need all the design help I can get with the new house.

I love your mantle, Susie! And I am going to kick myself if I do not try making your stockings this year. Seriously!
ReplyDeleteI love your white mantel. It's wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLove the aqua colors and those cute stockings!
ReplyDeleteI just love it! Gotta love the glittery ornaments from Dollar Tree! I picked up some silver ones :)
ReplyDeleteso beautiful!
ReplyDeleteeverything! i think my favorite part is the paper whites planted in your hurricanes nestled in all the blue & whites.
i planted paperwhites already, but i think i might just have to copy your idea of using a hurricane. then they wont fall over!
;)

Oh my!!! I'm in love with your mantel!!! Love the colors. Love the tree branch, love the present under glass, love everything!!! Too bad the paperwhites didn't bloom in time. But they still look good in the stage they are in.
ReplyDeleteLove your mantel. Making those snow balls is on my to do list too, I love them!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your mantel beauty.
So very pretty!
ReplyDeleteYour Christmas decorations are beautiful. I love the white Christmas! Greetings from Italy.

Susie,
ReplyDeleteLove your aqua and white mantel. So pretty.
I wasn't able to get mine decorated in time for Layla's party, but I stopped by and I have definitely been inspired by everyones beautiful mantels.
Your mantel is gorgeous. Love the aqua and white theme. Very pretty!
ReplyDeletePretty, pretty, pretty!
ReplyDeletePretty, pretty, pretty!

ReplyDeleteIt's all sooooo pretty! Love the chalkboard and your twig tree (I have one too)...great colors!!!

I’m hosting a Christmas Open House on 12/9…would love to have you come by and join in on the fun!
Beautiful Susie...I guess great minds think alike since we both have white mantels this year. Love the touches of aqua on yours...and of course, the stockings. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of that little white gift under the glass...it all looks perfect!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteEverything is looking beautiful! Jackie
ReplyDeleteGreat use of color and sparkle. Love the twig tree and all the glass! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat is absolutely gorgeous!!! I love it!
ReplyDeleteSo how terrible would it be if I copied your mantle exactly? I've been scouring my catalogs looking for inspiration (our new house has 3 - count them - 3 - Fireplaces). This idea is perfect, and I think I have most of the things already on hand. Although I'm sure I'll find a reason to go and do just a bit of shopping. I think the white branch of birds is my favorite. I always know where to come when I need design inspiration - THanks.
ReplyDeleteI painted myself some white branches today. I really like how it looks on my mantle. Thanks for the inspiration! I'll be posting a picture in the next day or two.
