A Frosty Winter Mantel

Hi there!  I've been busy lately! I spent last week taking down the Christmas decorations, packing it all away, cleaning and then redecorating in a winter theme. You might think I'm LATE in doing so, but that's the way we like it at our house - we enjoy Christmas to the fullest and for a LONG time!

 

Starting with this one, my next few posts will show you what I've come up with for adding a frosty flair to a few areas around the house.

 

Today, we'll look at the fireplace mantel...

 

 

 

Once again, my Frosty Family makes an appearance...



 

 

Over the holidays, we received 3 sets of these cute orament-skis as hostess/host gifts.

 

I thought they looked perfect propped against my snowman family.  Like us, they love to ski!

I also used two of my glass blocks with some white mini-lights(can't have ALL the lights gone after Christmas!) and snowflakes.

 

Snowboy joins his parents who are ready to hit the slopes with their skis.

 

I hung a large snowflake in the center of the round mirror and added other smaller snowflakes along the mantel and above the mirror.

 

The hearth is kept simple with a black lantern and a wooden vase containing brown grasses.

 

This is my first "winter mantel" since our fireplace makeover (click HERE to see that). 

Hope you enjoyed seeing it as much as I enjoyed creating it!
