The Mantel….

My mantel is long, I mean REALLY LONG!!  It is a challenge to me every time I decorate said mantel…I can’t let anything hang over too far, because we use our fireplace and it would melt “overhangage”…

That being said, the following is what I have been able to create for this Christmas Season…

Oh look!  A cord!!  I despise those!!!  It is fixed now…

Winter has finally arrived down here in the South…we have not gotten out of the 30’s this week and snow flurries are predicted for this weekend!  Okay, I am ready for summer now!

Thank you for stopping by!  Stay Warm!

I am linking up with Linda at Coastal Charm for her Open House Party!  Please check it out and prepared to be DAZZLED!

Kisses :)

  2. I think you did a great job. Looks so festive. We got snow last weekend. I am NOT a winter person. I wish as soon as Christmas was over winter would be too! Happy Holidays

  3. It all looks lovely! And this freezing weather needs to go! I can take it until Christmas and then I am done! It was 24 degrees this morning when I left my house. 24! In NC!

  5. Ha! "said mantel" ~ familiar verbiage to me that you are using "herewith"! : )

    I love your mantel, Lou Cinda! I think it looks great. I can attest to the "overhangage" causing meltage when the fireplace is lit. It is not a pretty sight {nor smell} and it tends to set off the smoke detector. Just sayin'.

  15. Lou Cinda,
    Love the mantle display. You have done a beautiful job with that 7' of space. I just love the traditional reds and green of Christmas. You know of course how much i adore the glitter and glitz. We are kindred spirits of this decor. Love, love, love your house!

  16. Better that your mantle be too long than too short! I have the short problem but I am happy that I even have a mantle since there wasn't one when I moved here. Your holiday mantle is gorgeous! You really did a wonderful job of transforming it! It's hard to hide cords on mantles, isn't it?~ Hugs, Patti

  17. Your mantel is so gorgeous! And long! I think mantels are the most difficult things to decorate. I'm glad we have the cold temps, at least for a little.
