I went with a whole new look on the mantel this year. I usually always put my Santa painting which you can see here on the mantel.
Another change this year is I used a lot more live greenery, the house smells so good! Let's take a look...
I bought the frame in Hobby Lobby a few weeks ago when they were on sale for 50% off and tied a real wreath to it, my mom made the bow for me. I also poked two berry picks in there for a pop of red. The ribbon I bought in AC Moore craft store.
Added an old fashion Santa that I had for years, along with real garland and a few faux Christmas trees.
This is the first year we've had a real tree in here, I love it! Think we just started a new tradition!
It's an 8ft. fraser fir.
A little peek looking in from the breakfast area.
I'm so happy with the way this room turned out! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Martina, Your mantel is just perfect. Love the focal point of the large frame with your beautiful wreath. Perfect choice of ribbon and bow. Your tree looks so pretty in the corner. I can't believe we haven't cut ours yet! On the "to do" list for this weekend.

Love your mantel and tree, Martina. The framed wreath is really pretty and your mom makes a great bow. I bet your house smells wonderful.
Very pretty tree, Martina! Love the wreath on the frame. Such a simple thing but it really makes a statement.
Beautiful Martina. I bet the room smells as good as it looks.~!
just love that frame, i have always liked this look but have not done that in my house, maybe i will have to go to hobby lobby. Never had a real tree?! We always do a real tree in the family room and then 2 other artificial. Fallen needles from one is more then I can handle.:)
I love how you placed a wreath inside an empty picture frame like that. So cute! Love your tree too. The live trees do look good and make the house smell like Christmas. I miss having a live tree. We started getting a fake one after I realized I was allergic to them! I can't have any live greenery in my house without getting a sinus infection. Boo Hoo!
Very nice! Very calming!

It's beautiful Martina!
Oh I love it Martina!! I can smell the fir from here. I like the simplicity of your mantel. My kinda girl!!
So beautiful, Martina! I love that you used REAL elements. I can only imagine how wonderful your tree smells ... and, your framed wreath is so pretty (loved the added berries and delicate bow)!
I love the smell of live frasier fir. I LOVE that basket on your coffee table. Thanks for sharing your beautiful work, Martina. xo
Martina- It looks gorgeous. I love the simplicity of your mantle- just beautiful. We used to get Fraser firs, too. They hold their needles the best of any of them I think...and the smell is heavenly. xo Diana
Very pretty, Martina. I especially like the ornaments on the tree and the wreath in the frame. Your mom ties a pretty bow.
Martina I can see why you are so happy with the way the room turned out.....it's gorgeous!!!

Your mantle is gorgeous! I also like the lighting, so festive and pretty. Your tree looks AMAZING! XO ~Liz
I for one am glad that gold frames are in style again. There was a time when silver was more popular. Gold is so much warmer. The frame is perfect.
I love your mantel. The wreath in the frame is gorgeous! Very inspiring idea....
Martina,
These pictures are just beautiful, I love the tree and the wreath hanging in the frame is gorgeous.

Hi Martina: I found you at Stone Gable and am now a new follower. Your tree is absolutely beautiful. After so many years of faux everything isn't it nice to have the real thing again. I'm still with the faux tree but did put real greens on every available surface this year and the smell is wonderful..I'd like to invite you to visit the Cottage and share our Christmas season so far..Happy Wednesday..Judy
Martina, your mantle and tree look amazing!!! I can almost smell the greenery! :) You did a beautiful job. The room looks so warm and pretty!
Martina, those photos are amazing! I love the mantel~I just got in 4 enormous gilt frames and I am so going to try this look~its elegant and simple all rolled into one. The room looks fantastic!
You should be happy your room is beautiful. Your mantle is very simple and elegant. Love the tree too and love the smell of natural. All so very pretty!
It is all just beautiful Martina!
Your tree is beautiful Martina. The whole room looks so pretty and festive. I love the wreath in the frame too.
Have a great day.

Beautiful, warm and welcoming...I love the mantle decorations and the tree, just lovely! You are ready for Christmas!
Your tree is the prettiest I have seen this year! The framed wreath is a great idea.
Your Christmas mantle is so inspiring!! And your tree...nothing like a real tree for a wonderful smell of pine..just have to deal with a few (well, more than a few) needles. I put my tree as close to a door as I can to minimize clean-up! Thanks to your Mom for creating a beautiful bow. I'm off to find a lovely frame like yours at 50% discount I hope!

I love what you did with the wreath and frame. So festive and unexpected!
Simple elegance! You have done an absolutely beautiful job. It is not over the top as so many do. This is a great example of "less is more". You have given me some great ideas. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Your living room is lovely, Martina. I love the wreath in the beautiful frame, and the simple decor on the mantel makes it stand out so nicely. The huge tree is gorgeous!!!
Enjoy your weekend. Hugs, Cindy
I LOVE the wreath in the frame. I will have to try that. Your tree is beautiful. I wish I could do a live tree, but can't with my husband's allergies. Only a little fresh greenery for me!
The wreath hanging from the picture frame is stunning. I can't stop staring at it. Very fun!
Loving the wreath in the frame! Very pretty!
I love your wreath with the frame...just beautiful. I'm with you, a real tree makes all the difference. Thanks for sharing and happy holidays! liz
Your tree is gorgeous! I just love your taste. Everything looks so pretty!
Simple and classic ~ just beautiful, Martina!
Happy Holidays, Martina! Your Christmas decor is beautiful and I especially love the framed wreath. Thanks for linking this to the Open House party. Hugs, Sherry
This is really pretty -- I like yours better than the original.
I need a basket like that one on your coffee table -- do you remember where you bought it?
ETS
Everything is beautiful. I think I could image all the good smells too. Love your wreath inside the frame and such a pretty tree too.
Hi Martina. Your post really made me miss having a live tree. Yours is so beautiful. No matter how perfect the shape and how full the tree, faux just isn't the same! I love what you did with your mantle. Lucky you to find some of that ribbon at Hobby Lobby. There was none to be had in the store here. Thank you for linking up to The Better Late Than Never Christmas Inspirations Party.
