My natural Christmas mantel

This year for my Christmas mantel, I decided to keep it really organic and natural. I used seed pods from a golden raintree and hydrangeas from my yard that had turned a lovely brown color after the first frost of season.

I like how the green leaves and the beautiful browns from the seed pods & hydrangeas complement the colors in the vintage-inspired Santa artwork so well.

If you have been reading my blog for any amount of time, I’m sure you know how much I love the beauty that nature provides! When it comes to decorating for the seasons, I always look to nature first, and this mantel is a perfect example of that.
