Our Christmas Mantel
Our fireplace is 3-sided which makes a nice division between the living room and dining room, and is wonderful for heating the main living areas of our home. Unfortunately, having such a small back wall and not having a “front” makes it extremely tricky to decorate – at least for me!
This year I decorated for the holidays in classic red/white/silver. I used some mercury glass vases and candle holders (from West Elm last year), some red vases (from Ikea), candles, a KWO smoker (from Germany!), and some inexpensive glass ball ornaments.
Here’s our fireplace, looking in to the living room:
Hubby’s aunt works in sales and used to be a rep for the KWO line and she has given us a couple KWO smokers over the last few years. You can see another one in our office, here.
Isn’t he cute? I just love the classic look of this guy!
Next year our fireplace in the basement will be ready for holiday decorations – I can’t wait!
I would love some new ideas of décor for the 3-sided fireplace – any suggestions?
