One of the moments in our new house that we were looking forward to the most this holiday season was decorating our fireplace mantle. Over the course of a week or so, we finally managed to secure the necessary decorations to make it happen! Tonight, Nate actually went outside and hacked off one branch off the evergreen out front and wove an evergreen swag for our mantle piece. How many men can do that!!! It looked phenomenal, especially once it was wrapped with some fun gold ivy I found at Michaels, as well as some white lights. The vintage wooden cross-country skis to the left of the fireplace are courtesy of the Harrmann attic. The wreath hanging above the fireplace is made out of blueberry bush branches -- we got it at the tree farm this year, and decorated it with bunches of live holly (with berries!) from our bush out front.

Gorgiferous!
I love it!
Wow, that's so pretty!
Looks like it's straight out of a style magazine. Man, I wish you were still here so we could swap ideas, because Lord knows, we could certainly use some! John and I NEVER agree on home decor, so you know what we do? NOTHING. We can't agree on anything, so we decorate with nothing. Sigh!
Wow, your house rocks at Christmas time! We're very jealous!!
