Retro christmas mantle

Christmas at my grandparents’ houses always felt like a Hallmark movie but in the best way possible. Chestnuts were roasting over an open fire, and hot chocolate was always simmering on the stove. Kitschy reindeer pranced on tabletops, and ceramic Santas grinned ear to ear from their posts on fireplace mantels.

This was my mantle in 2018. It was a lot of work that I havent been able to do since then. But I have pictures....and they make me happy!! I'm a vintage collector from way back but I'm not afraid to add in some retro pieces too....it all makes for a Merry Christmas!! 98% of what's in this picture is authentic vintage though!!

I get it, decorating a mantle can be daunting. Use inspiration from my nostalgic elegant Christmas mantel for your own Christmas mantle!
