I hope you all have a fantastic Thanksgiving this week and I just wanted to say how thankful I am for all of you who stop by here. Especially with my mantel being so tall, I would probably never really light these candles and now they are “lit” everyday. My favorite thing is they are on a timer, so every day at 4pm they automatically flicker on and it makes this room so cozy.

Spoiler alert, I also put them in my tree.Īnother quick tip, I have made a mess of my mantel in the past with candles, so I finally bought some of those led candles and I’m not sure why I didn’t do it sooner. I found these super cool giant snowy pine cone looking things at a local green house (Fruitbasket Flowerland if you are in the Grand Rapids area) and wired those into the garland as well. I use floral wire wrapped around the garland and then tied to the nails to get this swag effect. My mantel is old and rustic so I don’t mind putting nails in it, but if you have nice wood work like at our last house I used 2 small white nails in the top of our mantel that I kept there all year round so that I wasn’t constantly ruining the wood. So, there are actually just two nails holding up this whole garland. I used these cozy knit stockings, which I wired right to the garland. I did that here as well and added a strand of battery operated lights and a bunch of sticks from our yard that I spray painted white.

If you read my post on Friday about our breakfast nook (find it here), I mentioned I start with a faux garland and work in some fresh greens. I use them every year in various spots and just paint them to match my decor. They are currently gray (thanks to a coat of spray paint), but they have been red, blue, black and white. I added these chunky candlesticks that I have had for a million years and if you have been reading the blog for a long time you may recognize them. I’m still working on my nail hole phobia in the new house… Mainly because I couldn’t bring myself to nail any extra holes in our beautiful wood work. This year I kept it simple and left our mirror up that is normally here. My mantel has always been a favorite space of mine to decorate.

Even if your home’s style leans more modern, you can still sprinkle in touches of farmhouse cozy by using decor full of texture, think white fur throws, natural colors and biophilic items.įirst up: Nothing says 'country Christmas' quite like greenery garland sourced right from the farm. Farmhouse style combines non-fussy furnishings with vintage decor (real or reproductions), items found in nature (pinecones, twigs and greenery), and mixes in rustic and primitive items like old baskets, galvanized metal and handmade items. Farmhouse style is perfectly imperfect, it uses the Japanese philosophy of Wabi Sabi where there is beauty in age, nature and simplicity. The good news is, it doesn't have to be fancy and expensive. Make your holidays warm and wonderful by making your home more comfortable and welcoming.
