Bling, Burlap, Bed Springs & a Bit of Leopard Mantel!


What's not to love about a little bling (like a fish, I'm attracted to shiny objects!), rustic burlap and rusty bed springs, and a little leopard print?  Combined with some fresh garland and snowy mason jar candles, this mantel is a major babe - check her out!

Vintage green crib bed springs found at an estate sale are a fab backdrop for all the finery.  The mantel is covered in fresh garland and fab mercury glass trees (found at Target after Christmas one year for 75% off!).  Festive snowy mason jar candles (click here to see how simple they are to make), tied with burlap and a shiny jingle bell are nestled among the greenery.

The amazing twig wreath is covered in snowy crystals and tied with a big burlap bow.

The stockings are hung (by the chimney with care - oops, went off on a tangent) from gold tree shaped hangers I bought years ago.  Leopard and toile combined with pom poms make adorable stockings!  How do we know who's stocking is who's you ask?  The girls engraved silver baby cups are tied to their wreaths and mom and dad get a wine glass and wine bottle - each tied on with a strip of burlap.

A tiny silver wine glass marks my stocking (don't judge me)!

Snowy mason jar candles cast a beautiful glow.

Our little elf helps decorate and holds a flute ornament given to one of my girls this year (we give them a new ornament each year when we decorate the tree).  Check out his stylin' clogs!

Time to put on my cozy pj's and snuggle in front of the fire.  Enjoy the holidays!
