It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas here at Our Southern Home!  It's the most wonderful time of the year!  This is my very first Christmas post featuring our home.  I'd like to start with our family room mantle.  I hope you enjoy~
 
 
Here is a view from the balcony above.
 
 
 
 
The stocking are family heirlooms lovingly made by my mother-in-law.  You can find them featured in my Christmas stocking idea post from a few weeks ago.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 I found these beautiful metal angels at an after Christmas sale 9 years ago at Belk.  I have been smitten ever since!
 
 
 
 
 
 
Notice the oh so chic distressing.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
This mantle is completely artificial.  I start out by using a simple, plain 6 foot garland as a base.  I then fill in with lush, high quality picks making sure I balance the sides as I go.  This year I added the trailing greenery with berries.  I am very happy with the effect of it spilling over the mantle.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 My rejoice bunting is new this year.  I will have a tutorial post up later this week.  It is a great project for the kids to help with.  My 13 year old daughter took care of the painting glue and glittering of the letters.  Once that was complete, it went fairly quickly (a DVR episode of Grey's Anatomy playing in the background).
 
 
 
UPDATE:::  Rejoice Bunting Tutorial is now up!  
 
 I really appreciate you stopping by to take a look at just the first of many Christmas posts to come!!
I'd love for you to join me on Our Southern Home's journey. Ways to follow are on the sidebar. The blog is getting a face lift. You may notice changes soon! Have a blessed week~

    Beautiful job Christy! I do the same with my mantel with the garland and picks. Your angels are great- I’d treasure those too! I love your rejoice bunting. That reminded me of a velvet covered project I created along with my daughter when she was close to your daughters age. It had a huge gold glittery “Merry Christmas” on it that we created. I still have it in storage!
    Your room looks lovely and I love your tree!

      Thanks so much, Liz! I cherish all of those projects that my kids have helped on. I love the look of a fresh mantle, but it would be too complicated to have to keep refreshing it especially with the frequency that we use the real wood fireplace. Merry Christmas!

Happy Friday! I hope you've had a great week. 🌷 Happy Friday! I hope you've had a great week. 🌷 I've been a bit absent this week with my squares, but I've been painting again. Y'all know all that molding and trim that I've been tackling. It's so time-consuming but has a big reward. Fresh paint works wonders in a space. We've got a beautiful weekend ahead here in the south. Hoping to enjoy a little time in the yard before the pollen starts setting in.

We are no stranger to Food Lion! We shop there when in NC while visiting our family beach cottage. The extra fresh produce and meats section always blows us away. Food Lion prides itself on keeping prices low and passes savings to its customers. Be sure to sign up for an MVP card in-store & online. Swipe to see more + our yummy dinner!

Good morning! Another gorgeous day before the rain Good morning! Another gorgeous day before the rain and cold creep back in. The weather is a big tease around here! A tip & a question! Please read below...help a girl out! 

🌸 Do yourself a favor, when you go to the grocery store....pick up some fresh flowers. They are inexpensive and instantly brighten your day. Change out the water every couple of days and most will last a week. Cut a little off the stems as well. 

👁 I recently had an eye appointment. My doc wrote a prescription for me to get progressive readers. Folks, She said that I need 2.5s! I’m in a 1.75. It’s such a pain. Here’s my question. I can no longer pluck my eyebrows with my magnifying mirror! 🤣 The 52 struggle is real! What’s a girl to do? Become Bert or go to the salon. I don’t wax because it’s too irritating. @ashlyn_little offered to pluck them! 🤣 Anyone else in the same boat? 

Favorite @lovechicos look! My So Slimming Girlfriend jeans are on sale! Today is also the last day of their first-ever warehouse sale!

Curious? Do you make your bed daily? We do! We usu Curious? Do you make your bed daily? We do! We usually have a last one out rule. I just can’t walk in the bedroom with an unmade bed. My dresser may have a pile of folded laundry for a couple of days, but that bed is made! That Amazon blanket is linked in stories. It’s soooo good! 

This is perhaps my favorite look for our master bedroom! Soft toile, linen and leopard print bedding and blankets are so cozy! http://liketk.it/3953P #liketkit @liketoknow.it #StayHomeWithLTK #LTKstyletip @liketoknow.it.home

I have not been this excited about the weekend sin I have not been this excited about the weekend since last weekend! Ha, ha! Happy Friday! No big plans here, but I’m still trying to dress up for a date night in on the weekend. We’ve been eating a lot in the dining room lately. It’s a cozy space with the twinkle lights that I don’t have the heart 
to take down. It’s like feeling like we are in an actual restaurant opposed to the daily meals at the kitchen table. Just that little extra effort makes a difference. #ad

Loving these separates from @lovechicos This lightweight chevron sweater is perfect for now and spring. The lines are so slimming with the flowy ¾ length sleeve. Guess what! My So Slimming Girlfriend Jeans are on sale now thru February 25th! All full-priced jeans are $59!

Been watching the news before cooking dinner and e Been watching the news before cooking dinner and enjoying a glass of wine. It’s heartbreaking seeing what’s going on in Texas. The people, the animals....I pray that everyone finds warmth, food and water tonight. It makes me look ahead to warmer days and carefree times of summer. This photo was last summer....I’m ready for outdoor weather. 🙏
