Candlelight Christmas Mantle With Leather Wrapped Candles
If you follow me on Instagram and actually see my posts then you know my family room has recently undergone some pretty significant changes. Surprise, I painted my mantle green! And switched out the curtains. You can check out the recent before and afters. This is version one of my Christmas mantle lit by candlelight to set a festive mood. Are you in the holiday spirit yet? Well you certainly will be after touring the next 6 spaces, see the bottom of the post. Thank you for Kristen from Ella Claire and Co. for hosting this week’s Season of Home tour!
As I mentioned, I painted the mantle green. It is Benjamin Moore Forest Floor with a 25 tablespoons of Sherwin-Williams Rock Bottom. I know it’s an odd combo, but those were the two I liked but neither one seemed right. So I mixed them.
Next up the leather wrapped pillar candles. I had an wide assortment that were different shapes and sizes, so I had an idea to wrap them in leather for a warm, natural and textured look.
You can find the video tutorial HERE.
I bought this leather and this toolkitfrom Amazon. I cut the leather to fit, made holes in the back and laced them up. Honestly, you can buy faux leather as well just make sure it’s fire retardant and use any pointed tool. Only buy the kit if you plan on doing more with leather.
The large jingle bells I found at Target along with the white berry garland.
The stocking I found at the Pottery Barn Outlet years ago in the kids section.
I am loving the white curtains, it brightens up the space!
We created a grid wall last spring and painted that Benjamin Moore Calm.
The pillows are from my shop, the sofa Interior Define, coffee table Industry West and Sven chair from Article.

Hi everyone! I enjoyed every minute of Thanksgiving break, hope you did too! I have been SO busy decorating for the holidays & I am so excited to share my holiday house tour on Thursday:)….
Halloween is my favorite of all the holidays. Personally, I like to express the sentiments of the season by hosting a truly haunting fête.
In need of a last-minute Halloween party idea? This Halloween cocktail—the dark & stormy—is super quick and easy to make and it’s deranged melon ball accouterments can be put together just as fast, too. It beckons the title, the Dark & Spooky.
The most spine-chilling part? The melon balls become more deranged-looking as time passes and is bound to scintillate your guests. To top it off, they make for one perfectly sweet and spine-chilling snack. Muahahaha!
