Lo and behold, I got some Christmas decorating done! I conquered my mantel, which can sometimes be a challenge with its large scale/depth, and I hung my holiday "subway" sign, a gift from Matthew Mead for my holiday photo shoot. You can order one like it (it also comes in red) here on his website. I also picked up some glittery stags to flank it on the wall.
Who knew I'd ever have a deer's head on the wall? Hah!
Happy decorating!
I am off to do more and will be back to share it all soon!












so pretty!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda,
ReplyDeleteIt looks really beautiful! I have that same deer head and it's one of my favorite things. Mine is currently painted hot pink but that's about to change. I love the subway sign. As usual, you have done a beautiful job.

Love it. So beautiful. Very tasteful.
ReplyDeleteLooks so good! I always struggle with my mantle too, but now you have inspired me!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Wow, I love every part.
ReplyDeleteYour mantel looks fantastic - I think it is your best yet! The new sign, antlers, silver garland - all of it tie together to give that glittery festive look.
ReplyDeletePerfection...even with the deer heads! Your most perfect garland from moi looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteUm, this is beautiful! I love the sign behind the mantel like that. I wish I could use my fireplace full mantel possibilities.. It is currently the home of our TV. Boring, right? Have a great holiday!
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful, Linda!
ReplyDeleteLinda, it all looks wonderful. I haven't even started. Sigh. I loved the bus roll when I saw it in the magazine (oops, forgot to email you back that it came!) And the deer antlers are awesome. I saw a whole slew of them at a local restaurant painted a gloss white and all lined up. Now I'll have to find some of my own. As always, Linda, amazing!

Gorgeous! I love the color scheme! And that banner! I need one asap.. do you think it could be a DIY? Sorry Matthew Mead:)
ReplyDeleteI got my Matthew Mead yesterday and love it. Your bus roll sign is gorgeous...love the color.

Oh the blues and silvers are wonderful. That IS a great sign! Happy decorating!
ReplyDeleteI love the use of the ice blue, silver and white that is so popular now. It reminds me of a beautiful snowy night under the moonlight. Great job! ~Leena~
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving!
Looking verrrry good! Hugs- Diana

I love your reindeer and the gorgeous subway sign! Hope you don't mind if I show them on my blog...we're moving this week, so everything holiday is still packed away. Since I can't post about decorations in my own home this year, I highlighted a few I found in others!
ReplyDeleteI am seriously in love with this color. Seriously. So serious is this affair that I am painting my bathroom this color. It is so cooling, so calming, so 'ahh' in the midst of my "ACK!" Thank you for featuring it in holiday decorating, a time when we could all use some more 'ahhhh.'
ReplyDeleteExcellent example of how holiday cheer does not have to come from green and red--thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteHello~
ReplyDeleteI just discovered your blog, your home is so lovely! I love the simplicity of your mantel. Have you changed it since Christmas?
I'm also curious to know the color that you have on the walls in this photo??
