My Other Mantel
Sherry, who writes the blog, No Minimalist Here, invited me to participate in her Christmas Blog Hop. I usually share my family room mantel, but for this holiday hop, I'm featuring the faux mantel in my sun room.
My Holiday Mantel
Have you noticed that for years silver seemed to be the metallic of choice for holiday decor? This year I'm noticing that golds and especially copper are showing up for the holidays.
Chinoiserie Chairs with Copper Pillows
My copper demijohn left the foyer to be part of the mantel decor. I draped it with a copper wreath and a garland of copper ribbon and beads. It's next to a cloche filled with feather trees.
My French Demijohn
I placed preserved boxwood orbs on top of my houndstooth hurricanes. To give them some height, I used some black and white books as risers. I dangled some copper garlands too. The Santos Angel traveled from the foyer to be on the mantel. (The reflection in the mirror is my pull down classroom reference map that's on the opposite wall).
I thought these chippy finials were just the right color. My chinoiserie faux bamboo chandelier is reflected in the mirror.
Gold Finials and Chinoiserie Chandelier
There's a third finial on the opposite side. The mini sunburst mirror is actually an ornament.
Santos Angel
I still have another mantel to share, my holiday tree, and some outside decor. I hope you'll come back and see me again.
