Had a slight change of plans for my family room mantle this year. Usually it's decked out with greens but when I pulled out my oversized Pottery Barn ornaments I decided to do a more serene display.
Antique pickling jars were perfect to hold cut branches. I slipped oasis foam in the bottom, inserted the branches and covered with faux snow. The mirror is from a local antique store. I didn't buy it the first time I saw it and went back for it a month later. So glad it was still there! Someday I may paint it. Maybe.
And I've gotten started on my presents. Crate & Barrel had beautiful, heavy duty wrapping paper in modern metallic prints. Love, love the one with branches and wish I bought more of it.
I feel kind of late with my holiday decor. As I write this my tree isn't even up. And it seems I've missed participating in all the holiday blog parties. Maybe there's hope for me next year.
How about you...how's your decorating going? Please tell me I'm not the only one...
