I have been trying to decide on how to decorate my mantle for the holidays 2010!
Each year I like to change it up a little, adding things, taking away. So many beautiful decorations, one could go wild, but I find the best way to go about it is have some restraint!
Keep it simple....only a few colors, have different heights, use greenery, lights and maybe candles. Glitter, Glitter, Glitter....love it!!!
Also, have a direction and stick with it. Clear your mantle, have all your goodies ready, put on some holiday music, have some wine, or hot cocoa.
Most of all have fun and enjoy!
Do you have any style secrets you can share? I'd love to know.....

Gosh ... it can be so overwhelming! Every year the stores have new and improved decorations that I would love to purchase, meanwhile I have dozens of boxes from previous years! I've already started opening my boxes but I've also bought some new goodies so I'm not yet sure on the direction I'm going with my mantle this year. Can't wait to see what you have in store!
