How to Decorate the Mantel for Christmas Around a Flat Screen TV

Tuesday, December 6, 2011

{I never said this could be done well.}

I raided my MacKenzie-Childs collection for flower frogs and candlesticks.  I placed Pier 1 red candles in the candlesticks, roses in one of the flower frogs, and then I added some mercury glass votives and tea lights.

I will add fresh holly and magnolia leaves closer to Christmas.



Here is my mantel from last year.  The snow got on my very last nerve because I was constantly having to vacuum.  You can read last year's post here.

I am joining My Uncommon Slice of Suburbia for a mantel linky party.








Until next time...

Blessings!

  7. Yes, that is a quandary. My idea would be no flat screen, but Mister would never go along with that idea!
    Love your happy list. I am going to have to join that party. Always makes me smile!

  9. Sometimes you gotta work around these things, Ricki Jill! I think you did a great job, too! Love your snowballs! I almost had to deal with a TV over our fireplace, but my hubby decided not to go that route. Which was a "whew" for me because I already had a heck of a time trying to figure out our mantel!
