    I recently wrote about my Be Thankful Fall Mantel. I love DIY Mantel Decorating Ideas and how they give your home a focal point that you can change out with the seasons. I really like all the seasons and different looks you can get with changing out a few items and colors. Since I live in the desert, I don’t get to use the fireplace very often, but changing the decor lets me get use out of it year round. Below you will find different tips on all seasons to help you decorate. You can also find lots of tips on Pinterest.

    You can decorate your mantel on a budget or get very elaborate with your decorating. I love to find bloggers that share how they have decorated on a small budget. You can even just find things around your house that fit a special theme or season. I usually like to decorate for Valentines Day, Easter, 4th of July, Summer, Fall, Christmas and this year I might change it up for New Years Eve.

    One of the bloggers that inspired me was Emily from 52 Mantels. Her goal was to decorate her mantel each week for a year. Now I have not went through all of her designs and not sure how much she spent on them, but I thought it was a great idea. I am sure her husband loved coming home every week to see what changed.

    This is one of my favorites from 52 Mantels. I bet you can tell why.

      I love these ideas. I will need to check some of them out. I don’t have a mantel but I am going to have a nice antique desk in my living room soon that I think I will pretend is a mantel.

        Yes, it doesn’t have to be a fireplace, it can be anything that is the focal point, or you want that ahhh reaction.

      Fabulous inspiration! My mantle is home to photographs and remote controls and other bits of clutter – I need to decorate it instead and Christmas is as good a time as any to start!

      The South Vietnam: The temperature in the south is constant all year, ranging from 77-86.
      Therefore, opt for it if seeing its eminent upsides.
      Jeju Island, South Korea’s subtropical volcanic island, is situated 130 kilometres
      off the southern coast of the Korean Peninsula.

      When the Russians overran East Germany at the end of
      World War II, they turned Buchenwald into a prison for anyone who
      didn’t want a communist government. They were quiet, an important quality with
      lions and elephants roaming around, and had strong eyesight and
      an excellent nose for hunting. Tourists will enjoy a lot with unique experiences in an agreeable manner.

      The rear part of the pagoda consists of the main hall where the Buddha has been enshrined; it is also the area where the
      monks live and practice Buddhism. After three hour drive from Ho Chi Minh City, you can relax on long, beautiful and sandy beaches of Mui Ne.
      Thus choosing a good cruise agent will help tremendously.
