Welcome Friends! I hope that you are having a wonderful day and a Merry Christmas. I am officially finished with decking the halls. The only task at hand left is sharing my efforts with you.

If you have been following along, you will know that today marks Round 3 in One Space, Three Ways: The Holiday Edition! You can visit Round 1 and Round 2 to see the other looks I created for our mantel in the family room.

French Country Christmas mantel featuring large PEACE letters and gorgeous metal angels by Our Southern Home 

Welcome to our French Farmhouse Christmas Mantel! The large PEACE letters have been brought back after a 1 year hiatus. I did add a white wash on top of the shiny gold glitter which really did soften them up quite a bit. I'll share the details on them soon.

The letters are a perfect addition sitting on the ledge above the mantel space.

I've used the angels on this mantel for 11 years now. I'm not tired of them. I actually purchased them on clearance after Christmas at Belk.

The mantel itself is rather fuss free with the garland hung on the front.

The mercury glass votive holders are from Hobby Lobby. This year I added 1 tobacco basket.

The angels are metal. The detail is just amazing. It's hard to believe that I paid less than $20 for each of them. I remember buying them to this day. We were building this house and knew they would be perfect for this space.

I started it with a rather sparse, simple evergreen faux garland. It is held onto the front of the mantel with clear (affiliate link) Command hooks. I just leave the hooks up year around for hanging other buntings for special occasions. I make it look fuller by adding holiday evergreen picks throughout.

Hobby Lobby has a huge selection of gift wrap that you can usually get it half off. The quality is fabulous and they have a grid on the back for cutting straight lines. I went with these 3 patterns for this year. The ribbons are from the Martha Stewart collection at Home Depot. The (affiliate link) blanket scarf is such fun for decorating and wearing!

I've had this little tree pillow since we lived at our old house. It's timeless being used for about 15 years now.

There are just subtle changes to the mantel this year.

Thanks so much for all the comments and suggestion Thanks so much for all the comments and suggestions about my back yesterday. I did absolutely nothing and rested it. I slept better last night, and it's much better today. Last year on this very day, I posted our winter mantel. I loved this look. We enjoyed it so much throughout January. Keep on using your fresh greenery and twinkle lights if it makes you happy! Going through old ideas has me inspired to spruce up our mantel. Sadly, I haven't really done anything to it since Christmas. I went straight from putting up Christmas to painting the mudroom! Have a cozy evening! Visit the blog with the link in bio @oursouthernhome Just type in WINTER MANTEL in the search bar.

This New thrift store makeover post almost didn’ This New thrift store makeover post almost didn’t happen! It’s the first one of the new year! I was 1/2 way through the project while simultaneously painting the mud room cabinets. Down on the floor painting lower cabinets and twisted a certain way which did something to my lower back/hip. Ugh!!!! I got it done with the help of @ashlyn_little ⭐️ I couldn’t sleep and currently on heating pad. I’m going to be useless today! Any remedy ideas? I’ve got to get back to painting! I can’t take things in disarray. Lol! I’ll be working on the laptop in bed today I guess and checking out the other projects from my blogging friends! Link in bio and stories to the blog post!

Happy New Year & Wednesday friends! @bentleywestie Happy New Year & Wednesday friends! @bentleywestie  here! My grandma has taken a little break from social media and the blog to enjoy time with us before Woods and Ashlyn started classes back at Clemson. Personally...I’m ready to see her get out of sweats and put some makeup on! She did finally get all the Christmas packed away. With the tree gone, I’ve got my other bed back in the den! I think she’s coming off a sugar high. She mentioned that all the Hershey kisses were gone. Oh, well! Things are getting back to normal around here! Maybe they’ll get me a haircut!

I’ve been wanting a pair of sequin pants FOREVER I’ve been wanting a pair of sequin pants FOREVER! I wore them for the first time out Saturday night for our anniversary dinner! @lovechicos Now I want to wear them all the time! They are so comfy, stretchy, lightweight and just freaking fabulous! ❤️ Paired them with a sweater from @amazonfashion so it toned the look down a bit. I felt dressy casual. I’m also going to be wearing them with a white sweatshirt and tennis shoes! Life is too short.....So wear the sequins! Follow me on the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app to get the product details for this look and others http://liketk.it/34KjY #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKNewYear #StayHomeWithLTK

You’ll find me here all day in pajamas. That’s You’ll find me here all day in pajamas. That’s right! I’m not doing a darn thing today. I always lounge the day after Christmas to recoup after days of cooking. After Christmas is when I can finally relax a bit and enjoy the beauty of the season. I finally watched Little Women this morning and loved. Now I’m watching season 2 of Virgin River. How are you spending your Saturday? I’ll be getting dressed later this evening for our anniversary dinner. #31years tomorrow! 🥂

Today is the BIG 52! Gulp! It’s been a cozy Chri Today is the BIG 52! Gulp! It’s been a cozy Christmas Eve Birthday with my family. I’ll admit, it’s been a busy day of chores, but it’s been extra special because the kids are both home with us. Hunkering in for the evening. Here’s a tip when you’re wanting to feel put together at home. @spanx faux leather leggings work dressed up or down! Add a pair of @isotoner.us ballet slippers and you can fake a ballet flat at home! Over the knee boots and scarf are Amazon finds. I’ll be linking the look in the #liketoknowit app soon. Merry Christmas Eve!
