I love changing my mantel, but sometimes it takes me awhile. I had most of it changed to Winter last week.
By using silver and a little white accessories I already had on hand.
Except for these blue orbs (that’s what hubby calls them).
They’re actually ornaments I bought at Target for 90% off after Christmas. All 3 of them were under a dollar. I love how they change in different light.
The blue balls and snowflake are ornaments I didn’t use for Christmas. Blue is one of those colors that can give me a cool or warm feeling. I love it with silver for Winter.
I kept the wreath up from Christmas, but took off the red floral picks and changed the red ribbon for a gray one.
I added the snowflakes yesterday by attaching them to white yarn with clothespins. These are the snowflakes I painted silver and glittered for Christmas, but never used them.
The window looked too empty so I added the word Winter in vinyl.
Now it’s finally done. Sorry about all the different lighting. That’s what happens when I take pictures over 3 days and I’m not sure how to use my camera.
All very “Wintery” looking…especially like the item holding the snowflake.
Very pretty, Leanne! Love the colors and calmness of the whole thing. One day I’ll get to “winter” decorate, and actually have a place to put such lovely things!

That is just SO pretty! And simple! Why don’t I think of things like that? My mantle is sooo boring year-round. It really needs a spruce-me-up! The color on yours is just so pretty!
I love winter decorating. Your mantle is so pretty! I just did a little winter decorating myself.
This mantle is so so pretty. I m having some renovation done so not able to decorate right now but I would do something just like this. I love it!
This is beautiful! I love blue/silver/white. I did my mantel in those colors for January! Saw this over at the linky party on All Thingz Related.
I keep seeing all these lovely winter mantles, and I am stumped about mine. It’s so LONG. I love those blue ‘orbs’….I almost picked up some of those at Target too! I love the vinyl word on the window.
Are you gonna have some valentine crafts? I need someinspiration! You always have such great (and easy!) ideas for seasonal touches.
The blue and silver works great together. Love the blue orbs!
