Christmas >> or Thanksgiving? I tend to create Thanksgiving mantels that can transition easily to Christmas, with quick additions of red and ribbon. Are you team Christmas or Thanksgiving mantel? #christmasdecor #christmasdecorations #christmastree #christmasmantel #christmasmantle #holidaymantle #holidaymantel #holidaydecor #holidaydecorating #holidaydecorations #holidayhome #countrychristmas #christmasinspiration #christmasinconnecticut

Holiday coop 🐓 We spend a lot of time outside when we host Thanksgiving and Christmas, so of course, the girls get some holiday cheer too! Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃 #holidayseason #holidaydecor #holidaydecorating #holidaydecorations #holidaywreath #christmaswreath #deckthehalls #christmasdecor #christmastree #christmasdecorating #christmasdecorations #wreathsofinstagram #wreathmaking #holidayhome #colonialchristmas #connecticutlife #homesweethome #homedecor #farmhousechristmas #floraldesign #floralinstallation #houseandhome #myhousebeautiful #howyouhome #styleathome #homedesigns #homedecorinspo #homeanddesign #holiday #christmasinconnecticut #holidayhome

I love giving Thanksgiving its moment before I jump into Christmas, but I hate decorating twice in a month for two separate holidays. So, my trick is to put up “base layers” that I can easily transition to Christmas by adding bows, berries and pops of color. Do you decorate for Thanksgiving? #thanksgiving #thanksgivingdecor #thanksgivingdinner #holidayhome #holidaydecor #holidaydecorating #christmasdecor #christmasdecorations #holidays #frontdoor #frontdoordecor #frontdoorwreath #frontdoorsofinstagram #holidayhomes #floraldesign #florals #frontporch #frontporchdecor

Thanksgiving mantel, a closer look 🦃 The truth is, I rarely create these in just one sitting - it often takes me days (this one took 4!). But, that’s okay because I love to take my time with each step, fussing with the greens or foraging the yard in search of the perfect finishing touch - it’s all a welcome creative outlet for me. - Chicken wire secured with command strips and zip ties - Variety of greens, real or faux, also secured to the chicken wire with zip ties - Grapevine or branches for texture, wound throughout - Dried fall florals or grasses, stuck into chicken wire - Fresh or faux fruit and pine cones, secured with floral wire - Fluff and fill with fresh cuttings, like magnolia leaves Do you like to take your time with holiday decorating? #holidays #holidayseason #holidaydecor #holidaydecorating #christmas #christmasdecor #christmasinconnecticut #thanksgiving #thanksgivingdecor #christmasmantel #christmasmantle #thanksgivingmantle #thanksgivingmantel #floralinstallation #floralinstallations #floraldesign #floraldesigner #florals #homefortheholidays #holidayhome #holidayhomes #holidayhouse

Thanksgiving mantel 🦃 Swipe right to see how I created it, starting with chicken wire, which is a game changer if you’re looking to dress the front of your mantel (vs. just the top!) 👉🏻 - Chicken wire secured with command strips and zip ties - Variety of greens, real or faux, also secured to the chicken wire with zip ties - Grapevine or branches for texture, wound throughout - Dried fall florals or grasses, stuck into chicken wire - Fresh or faux fruit and pine cones, secured with floral wire - Fluff and fill with fresh cuttings, like magnolia leaves This time of year, I like to create mantels that transition easily into the holidays. Here, I’ll likely swap out the dried flowers and grasses for fresh greens and berries. #mantelpiece #manteldecor #floral #florals #floraldesign #floralarrangement #floralinstallation #holidaymantle #holidaymantel #christmasmantel #christmasmantle #thanksgiving #thanksgivingdecor #holidayhome #holidayhomes #holidayhouse #newenglandhome #newenglandchristmas #christmasinspiration
