Today I’m sharing our faux fireplace Christmas mantel. This is the first year we have this piece and had so much fun decorating it! I bought the Faithful Friends sign from Barn Owl Primitives during one of their Summer sales and decorated around that focal point.

Target has really outdone themselves this year! WOW! The Target One Spot was full of amazing items – as you can see. Some of the items seen here: Silver Sparkle Trees, Burlap Trees, Ski’s, Days til Christmas Sign and small red candle holders! All of the pillows are also from Target, this year and last. Bottle brush trees are all the rage it seems and I knew I wanted to get a few this year for my home. I found the big white bottle brush trees at Michaels and the green flocked ones from Target.

I love shopping at craft shows – my mom and I go to this same one every year and slowly add to my collection. That’s where I found both reindeer, santa boot, white birdhouse and wreath throughout the years.

The darling stockings are new this year! I found them from Pink Slip Inspiration on etsy and get so many compliments on them! Can’t go wrong with burlap and love the personalization! I adore my festive Marigold Poms garland I got last year from sweet Kristin. Love her poms! I added small strips of black and white ribbon from the Target One Spot for a little extra flair.

The tall fake light-up evergreen trees in the back I’ve had for many, many years. I decorated them using gift tags and ribbon from the Target One Spot. See, you don’t have to break the bank to dress up your decor. I just love that plaid ribbon and the fun, sparkly tags! I also got that red woven basket seen holding my pillows on clearance at Target after Halloween. Deals and steals, I tell you!! That place sees me coming! 😉  The red and white plaid throw (Target) was the only thing I splurged on this year that wasn’t on sale.

What do you think? It’s a bit busy but that’s just me and my style. I like to mix patterns and textures and bright, bold colors to make a vibrant and layered space. Hope you enjoy – what is your favorite area?! Would love to hear in the comments. Have a great day!
