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.

This is such a busy time of year, isn’t it?! It seems Christmas comes quicker and quicker each year and the push to decorate starts earlier and earlier. Right? In blogland we begin right at the start of November so you have plenty of ideas when you are ready yourself but the stores are catching on as well. It can be overwhelming and costly to buy new things each year, I know:). This year I decided to keep things somewhat simple and neutral, so that I could use some of my accessories thru the winter. My favorite accessory? You guessed it, PILLOWS! This year I layered my holiday home with tons of cozy textures, beautiful plaids + festive neutrals. Here are my 25 favorite cozy, chic pillows perfect for the holiday season + months after….
Hi there friends! As most of you know I just finished a makeover for a very deserving homeowner and with that came the fun part of having to scout for styling pieces. I hit almost every home store you can imagine of over the last month, Ikea included. I hadn’t been in a while and they had tons of new items, especially with a beachy-boho vibe so I thought it was only fair to share my favorites:).
