This year’s Christmas is pared-down and pretty (if I don’t say so myself!). Most of our decorations are white, with touches of gold and silver.

I love how our simple white felt stockings from West Elm have fit into all of our Christmas themes, just by changing the ornaments. Here are the links to the past years’ mantels:

• White Christmas
• Retro Mid-century Christmas

And this year, I used scrapbook paper and gold contact paper to make these ornaments that add a bit of gold and glam to our mantel. The stripes and dots make me think of a beautiful Kate Spade look.

And a few more looks at our mantel this year. Like the simple Christmas branch, it came together so quickly, which is a relief this busy season!

Have a cheerful and glamorous weekend!
