A Christmas Mantel

We have a new mantel this year and I wanted to showcase it by putting up a strand of fresh garland and our Christmas stockings!  Since my parents bought the house, we've had this 2 inch wide stub of a mantel that you couldn't do anything with.  So when we remodeled the living a couple months ago, I suggested we finish the room off with a decent accent to complete our fireplace.

I enhanced the garland with glittery pine cones to give it some sparkle and cheer!
