Christmas Mantle with Stockings

Filed Under: Christmas, Family Tagged With: Christmas Decorations, Christmas Stockings, sponsored

CHRISTMAS-Mantle

I enjoy decorating our mantle for each season/holiday. I wanted to share our Christmas Mantle this year because we got new stockings. Kenny and I have been married for 10+ years, Dustyn is almost 7 and Carysn is 4. We have always had mismatched stockings, but this year they all match. I couldn’t be more estatic. Our new Christmas Stockings came from Stuck on You.

Christmas Mantle with Stockings

I really like how well made these Christmas Stockings are. I am excited to use them for many more years to come. The stockings arrived in the mail super quick, especially since they are personalized. I picked the little trees because they are adorable, but they also offer striped stockings. These stockings allow customization of your font and font color. While you are customizing you get a live preview of what your stocking will look like.

For the rest of my Christmas Mantle I used some pre-lit garland, a snow globe and chalkboard sign I made, along with a couple of my favorite decorations. I am not the most crafty person, but I am pleased with how it turned out.

Now I just need matching stocking holders for our Christmas Mantle. I would love to find ones that say HOPE. If you find any let me know!


Disclosure: I was sent the stockings in exchange for my honest review. No other compensation was given. All opinions are my own.

Plus, he researched for hours how to do ceramic coating so now the paint is protected and it should be easier to keep clean. The photo does not do it justice. It’s super slick and shiny.

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
