I went with a 'Christmas Village' theme this year.
I've collected a variety of ceramic houses over the years and the time had come to make use of them.
Per my usual MO, I used a 'less is more' approach.
I wanted the mantel to have the feel of a wintry village in the Swiss Alps.
I thought the staggered heights of the buildings and the bottle brush trees helped to give that illusion.
The village theme continued onto the shelves.
And finally, a problem solved. My little photo bombing Piper and her mischievous sister Penny would have had a field day with an ornament filled tree, so I opted for a large twig basket filled with lighted trees, set on the bay window. Turns out, I like this idea just as much (if not more so) than a traditional tree.
Wishing everyone a Very Merry Christmas!
