Let’s strap on our furry boots, put on our stocking caps, and bundle up! It’s holiday home tour season, and I’m sharing Part I of my 2016 Holiday Home Tour today! I’m excited to be participating in a “Christmas Mantels Around America” blog hop today that highlights Christmas Mantels across the United States and Canada…how cool is that?! Thanks to Suzy, from Worthing Court for hosting!
Our holiday mantel this year is the centerpiece of the living room, and looks so festive all lit up for the season. If I am home, chances are pretty good that you’ll find all of our Christmas lights on.
I’m using these rustic reindeer on the mantel again this year. They just seem to be the perfect size and scale for underneath the ginormous dahlia mirror that’s peeking out from under the holiday wreath. I tied little ribbons around their neck to bring a pop of red to the otherwise very neutral mantel. I love neutral, don’t get me wrong, but something about the holidays makes me want to incorporate red everywhere.
Layering is my favorite. I love layering pieces over old windows, and the holidays are no exception. I often find myself looking at vignettes and thinking….”hmmmm….what else could I layer here?” 😉
I just love how cozy and bright our home feels this time of year, isn’t it just the best feeling to snuggle up on the couch with a lit Christmas tree in front of you? Nothing beats it.
Thank you so much for stopping by today, and checking out our mantel! Part II of my Holiday Home Tour is coming up on Thursday, so come on back!

This mantel is gorgeous! I love the old window and mirror!
Thank you, Saryh! Merry Christmas! 🙂
I love this, April! The tree looks so pretty! What did you wrap around it?
Thank you, Deb! It is some kind of twine/ribbon from the Hobby Lobby floral section! 🙂
Looks fabulous! I love all of the layers. I am the same with the Christmas lights. If I am home and awake, they are on. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your holiday decor.
Thank you, Courtney! 🙂
We must be sisters, April, because I’m a layer lover too. 😀 Your mantel is so, so pretty dressed in all of its Christmas layers. And yes, there’s nothing better than snuggling on the couch with the lit Christmas tree in view!
Ha! Thank you so much, Suzy! Thanks so much for organizing too! xo
The wreath is gorgeous! Did you make or was it a purchase? Thanks
Thank you, Mimi! No, I did not make it. It’s from Home Decorator’s Collection…so is the garland! 🙂
