Pinecones, vintage clowns, miniature trees and tea lights line the mantel.
A golden bird ornament perched on pine branches mirrors the bird on the Chinese vase.
What do you have displayed on your mantel for the holidays?

Our Christmas Fireplace Mantel
After giving ideas on decorating a fireplace mantel for Christmas, I have decided to share images of my own mantel dressed up for the holidays. It's an eclectic look, but I love it.
Festive red ornaments and winter berries are added to branches.

WOW, I LOVE that painting, of course, so special and oh-so-pretty! I also love the look of the red ornaments and berries with the branches...so delicate and festive! Thanks for sharing! :D
It's different, and I like it! That piece by your grandmother is fabulous--how lucky you are to have it in such good condition! I love your fireplace screen, too.
Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment. I'm so unorganized and I'm all into my home organization phase, so I'm going to have some fun looking around your site. Thanks again!
Adorable.
Your Granny would be proud.
Please do me a favor and leave a comment for charity on my blog today - you comment and I donate.
Thanks so much!

So charming! It's marvelous that you have such a wonderful piece of art created by your grandmother!
You did a wonderful job... Your mantle makes me smile. I just love the whimsical clowns tucked in with the little trees. The pictures you took seperating the vingettes are fantastic.
Merry Christmas

Your grandmother was super talented! My gram only cross stitched :) I love the twigs with berries and red balls, I might even steal that someday!
So beautiful! Not only your grandma's fantastic artwork, which rightly has the place of honor, but your lively mix of decoration! Just great, I love this individual approach.
Things, which mean something to you!
Those branches are gorgeous with the red ornaments!

Hey Cristin- Glad to find another local blogger! I love the color in your mantle... I love the idea of the print leaning on the wall. I think I need to find a good one, and do this after christmas! :)
Its good design and yours is one the most beautiful blogs and I'm glad I found it. I'll be sure visit again.
You take care.
I love your mantle, it's festive and just that bit different enough to be unique! I've not managed to find fresh garland here, it must smell divine.
Love the painting too (you have one talented grandmother!).
Beautiful green swags! Sweet painting, and nice composition of elements!
The painting is amazing! Love your mantel!
This is great! I love how it says "winter" without screaming "christmas".
It's so great! I love the little clowns and think your grandmother's painting is perfect!
love the sticks and berries and ornaments :)
i love the cranberries mixed with the ornamnet.s

That's your mantel??? Love that piece of art?
Very beautiful, but I think your grandmother's art is almost stealing the show. Wonderful piece and how lovely that it has family meaning also.
Wow, that art is amazing, so special to have.
I really love your little bird :)
Looks great Crisin! I love your art too!
Your mantel is beautiful. I love how you kept it simple, but at the same time you have so much interest, color and texture. Love the clowns! Great job!
Tooo cute! I love the branches on the mantle...so festive and PRETTY!
