Christmas Mantel Decor and inspiration!

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here! And one of my favorite things to decorate (besides my trees) is my mantel! I just feel so accomplished after I check that off the list!

Come see my Christmas mantel decor that I’m using this year incorporating black and white with touches of red! Hope you are inspired!

I always start off with my garland and this year I used some that I had gotten at Walmart last year and used in my bedroom. It was a little “skimpy” so I added some berries and picks from Hobby Lobby to bulk it up a bit. As well as my wood bead garland from Kirlaknd’s. CLICK HERE FOR GARLAND

Next up…I always start with my focal point or the “center” of my mantel. I got this big sign from Kirkland’s (SEEN HERE)and knew that I had to use it layered with some other items. The arch is from Kirklands (SEEN HERE), and the joyful sign can be seen in this blog post here.

As for the sides, you know I love symmetry. I JUST CAN’T HELP MYSELF!! So, matchy matchy it is for me! I got the bucket and the tree from Hobby Lobby this year, the buffalo check metal tree was marshalls this year and the little house was Target dollar spot this year. SO cute together!

I’m using the same stockings (target last year), stocking holders( hobby lobby) and stocking tags (Painterplace home co on Etsy- SEEN HERE).

Down on the bottom, I got this new tree from Target this year (SEEN HERE) which I just couldn’t resist! The buffalo check tree and the lantern are both from Old Time Pottery last year.

      Looks fabulous as always! I was tempted to go into Target for those flocked trees. Love the evergreens mixed with the tin buffalo check.

    Stacey that’s so beautiful. Love love love it. I don’t have a mantel however, I use a cabinet like one. I just ordered 2 3 ft Christmas trees for my bedroom this year. I’ve never had that so ill be anxious to decorate them. Lord knows I have tons of ornaments. Or I can just make some.lol

    It is beautiful! I love the way you make the black and white Buffalo plaid Christmas by adding red and green picks. Well done,girl. I’m waffling whether to even decorate this year. No one will see it this year with the virus, sigh.

      If it brings you any bit of joy- DO IT! Even if it’s just a little!

    Stacey it is so charming. With all the craziness we’ve experienced this year, I started decorating for Christmas November 1st! It makes me smile! That along with new Christmas movies and I’m in my happy place.

    Love your decorating! I came across your Instagram page last year when I saw one of your Christmas trees posted on another page. I have been a fan ever since. I have red and white buffalo check in my house and was very exited this year to find ornaments that match at Hobby Lobby. I am guessing they are the same ones you have on your mantel. I also love Old Time Pottery for Christmas items. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us.

    Very nice Stacey! You always do such a great job!

    Stacey, your mantle and tree are just gorgeous. Now I am eager to get my decorated.

    I always love how you layer the decor. They blend so we’ll together you would think they were meant to be a set. Your rug looks great with everything. The garland from Walmart is it the one with different greenery and comes with pinecones?

    Stacey your mantel is gorgeous! I love it!!

    Looks beautiful!!!! I don’t have a mantle but I use the top of my entertainment center as one. I start in the middle to decorate.
    I do have a question for you, have you ever flocked a tree? I did and I am disappointed in it. When you put ornaments on it the powder falls everywhere. Mine doesn’t really look to flocked to me now and I put a lot of the flocking powder on it. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance,
    Chandra
