Christmas mantel!

Our mantel is finally finished!!

I'm so happy with the way it all turned out and my husband is very more happy with the money I spent!!

So here it is...Christmas at the Alston's!















Here are some other areas in the house

Nope, still haven't painted the other curtain!



 The entry way


See more details about the entryway and our other Christmas decor here
  All the decor is from things I already had, the Goodwill or Dollar store!!

So far I'm only about $40 bucks in!! 

It was simple like using ugly stocking from the dollar store and buying an old sweater from goodwill


and making it into this


 Currently working on the kitchen and Eden's room!!

 Hope everyone has an awesome weekend!

  1. Your mantle is beautiful. I love how you used a branch for hanging the stockings. And their placement off to the side is perfect. Thanks for introducing yourself to me over at www.timberandlace.blogspot.com
