Since I don't have a fireplace mantle, I decorated the built-in shelf above my living room window. I gathered redwood branches and pinecones around my house and mixed them with some of my Christmas decorations. I brushed white acrylic paint over the pine cones and then sprinkled gold and white glitter over them to add a snow frosted look.
I wanted my mantle to be natural and whimsical at the same time. I added birds, pomegranates and shimmery ribbon to the branches and pinecones.
When I was visiting my sister this summer, I found these vintage, glass Christmas balls for $1 at DI. I hung these under the shelf and in front of the window with some clear string. I love the pretty, pastel colors of the vintage balls.
I am so happy to be done with working on stuff for my space at the shop, so I can finally focus on decorating my house for Christmas!

These decorative balls are so adorable. I really like this creative work. This article is about the Christmas window mantle. They are used as decorations for Christmas celebrations. Now it's time to avail shutters in birmingham for more information.
I love your Christmas frosted ribbons. These looks so simple and beautiful. This creative artwork is also unique itself. Thanks for sharing this with us. It's time to know about 25th island of Greece for more details.
