In preparation for the Holiday Home linky party (which kicks off at Layla’s on Nov. 30th), I decided to host an impromptu Last Year’s Mantels Linky Party! You all never disappoint! I rarely am organized enough to plan ahead for a linky party, and I love that you just spontaneously roll with it!
I want you to know that I visited each and every one of your mantels (although homeschooling cut into my ability to comment on each post), and I was overwhelmed by how amazing you all are! Here are seriously just a few of my favs in the subdued, traditional, and nontraditional categories:
Mantels in Subdued Organic Colors
Traditional Mantels
Nontraditional Mantels
Thank you to everyone who linked up to the party! I know many of you are going to start decorating your mantels in the upcoming week, and I hope this party gave you the inspiration you were looking for. Or perhaps if you’re like me, you’re now wishing you had several mantels to decorate because you just can’t decide on a look! I can’t wait to see what your mantels hold for us this year!
p.s. If you haven’t entered my most recent giveaway, be sure to do so. Winner picked tomorrow. Giveaways can be found at the top of my sidebar.

What great inspiration. I really like the paper lanterns in the 1st photo. (I know, I picked that one thing out of all the gorgeousness.)

I said "oh, I am going to my (non)mantle like that this year" to almost every one of the pics! How will I ever decide? I love them all!

Ooo….thanks for the feature 🙂 I'm totally overhauling my fireplace/mantel as I type. Can't wait to decorate it, though I got a bit sentimental looking at last year's do-up. I'm so weird.
Hey, how did I miss that you were homeschooling A and Z? I've got three of my own and a friend's son home with me this year, my 14th doing the h'school gig. 🙂
Not sure about colors for the mantel this year, but I for dang sure ain't gonna put an upside down tree on there.
Tricia says
Oh Cottage Instincts makes me swoon! And the one with the white picket fence over the mantle, so cool, and I have a piece of white picket fence just like that just waiting to be used! Maybe next year as my fire place is currently being refaced and will not be done until well after Christmas, what a bummer. Great post, thank you.

My creative juices are flowing. Ok. Maybe I'm just drooling. Gorgeous collection.

Thank you friend, for the highlight! I'm totally confused on what I want to do this year, but I think it will involve that aqua color we talked about. 😉 Gotta get busy!
