My inspiration for the mantel started with a trip to Ikea, and purchasing the white baskets and the simple faux "Charlie Brown" like Christmas trees. From there I just used white candles, some new snow flake lanterns purchased for $4.50 at Superstore, pinecones, boards from an old gate that Darrell refurbished with some stain and paint, and a wreath to finish it off.

I added this old washtub stand as a coffee table in this area.
It was headed to the dumpster and Darrell and a co worker flipped
a coin for it! Darrell was the lucky winner!
Had a piece of glass cut for the top... $45
I am liking the woodland and muted tones of this years mantel.

It is beautiful! I love the Charlie brown trees especially, and your coffee table, how great is that! It is definitely a one of a kind piece. xx
Dawna, this is hands down, one of my most favorite Christmas mantels that I've seen this year. I love it!
Amazing! This is one of the prettiest mantels I've seen. Your fireplace and mantel is really nice with a large 'shelf' for your decorations. I like the country/woodsy theme a lot. I also like your coffee table! What a great idea that is. It's all beautifully done!
Your mantel is so large and you've decorated it beautifully for Christmas. Love the rustic look to your decor with all the white candles, very pretty!
Your Living Room is Lovely! I love the way you decorated the mantel. Simple but gorgeous! Very Very Pretty!
Very pretty! I really like the trees in the white baskets.
Very nice...rustic, simple, and classy! :)

Lovely mantel. I would never have thought to shop for Christmas decor at Ikea! Love the Charlie Brown trees. Your coffee table is great too -- recycle reuse! Fun!
Dawna your mantel is beautiful. I love it. The white baskets, the candles, all the natural elements like the pinecones. You have such a great eye for adding just the right amount of sparkle. Not too much, not too little...just right. I've pinned this to my Christmas board. One of my favorites this year. Hugs, Nancy P.S. I'm crazy in love with your coffee table.
