Adding Some Color To My All-White Mantel!

I started with an all white base on my mantel……

As much as I love the clean, simple look of the all white mantel this girl needs a touch of color…..



…..So in comes a touch of red, some pine cones for a bit of texture  to tie in with the basket. Now, it is looking a little better. Still not quite right……

ENTERS…… The Ribbons!!

Touches of Kelly green, red, lime green, and of course white, in the form of a swag!

Can you use ribbon without making a bow?

ABSOLUTELY

A Ribbon Swag With Streamers!! No Bow to be found!

Am I Done?

Not Yet! I have one more addition……

“Still Enjoying The Process!”

As I am Decking-The-Halls

♪♫Fa-La-La-La♪♫

Keeping warm by the fire!

   

 

Making Some Christmas Progress Around The House

   

We are making a little bit of progress around our house! Nothing earth shattering, but little bits, and pieces of Christmas are starting to emerge.

We have a good all white base going on the mantel……..

The lanterns are in place!! All the white pillar candles are lined up.

The unadorned garland has all  of it's white twinkly lights, and the star is the “STAR” of the mantel!

The tree lights are all aglow, and the tree is waiting for its star!!

There it is!! ***THE STAR***!!!

***There are more stars to be hung!***

Now it is all aglow! Look at how the tree is reflecting in the glass of the picture!! Double star vision!!

Thanks to my Christmas elf my stars are all aglow, and I must say this girl is quite content right now!!!

So much more to do, but we have plenty of time to get the important things done. I am going to hum along and …….

“Enjoy the Process!”
