I have been dreaming about creating a farmhouse Christmas mantel on fireplace since we were in the planning stages of our new home. My Christmas decor was in storage last year while we built, so I haven’t seen it in almost two years! It’s been so fun to unwrap the old pieces, sending me down memory lane. I love mixing the old with the new and I’ve added so many fresh modern pieces to my collection this year as well. 

There’s just something about a cozy fireplace mantel decked out in holiday decor that makes me want to stay home all day and just curl up in front of the fire. Give me my rob, a full coffee mug, and my babies and I’ll just be over here cuddled up until spring! Don’t mind me! 🙂 

Farm Fresh Christmas Trees Sign

I’m loving my new hand-painted Farm Fresh Christmas Trees sign created by Lindsay over at Ink + Oak Design Co. She is SO talented! Having a custom sign as the centerpiece of my mantel makes it feel extra special this year. 

Modern Christmas Garland

The gorgeous handmade garland from Bloomers Trading Co. adds color and texture to my mantel, giving it that Christmasy touch. My garland is made up of faux white pine and juniper, plus real pine cones and preserved eucalyptus. It looks so real and lush, yet I can take it out year after year and enjoy it for more than one Christmas! Chrissy over at Bloomers Trading Co. even gave me a code to share with you guys!

DIY Plaid Sign

I wanted to utilize the large artwork that lives on our mantel year round as a layering piece. But that pretty longhorn cow just wasn’t cutting it for my Christmas theme. So, I decided to dress her up for the holidays! I cut black and white plaid gift wrap to size and secured it over the glass of my frame by sliding it into the crevices and using a few pieces of tape.

I used Hearth & Hand with Magnolia gift wrap that you can find here. I would recommend using a high-quality gift wrap that has a little more weight to it for this project. I could see how gift wrap could easily rip while you’re cutting it down if you use a cheaper product. This Magnolia paper worked perfectly for this DIY plaid sign project! 

Below you’ll find all the sources that I could link for the decor pieces in the post! Now I’m off to cuddle up in front of this cozy farmhouse Christmas mantel!

If you end up feeling inspired and making your own DIY Plaid Signs (or print of choice!) I’d love to hear about it or see it in the comments below!
