christmas mantel and bookcases...2013

Thanks so much for stopping by to check out my mantle today.
I've gone mad for plaid this year, along with my all-time favorite gold! 


I gathered up a few gold mirrors and layered them, along with a favorite 
ornament, and that little pine tree was a Home Depot steal last spring.

 


I knew I wanted to include tartan plaid with a fresh, modern spin this year, a
 few simple diy urchins were the ticket. But the real key was my fun paisley and
dot pillow from Therese Marie Designs new Etsy shop, which I highly recommend. The
quality is beautiful, and it would be a great gift. You guys know I love a bargain, but
there is nothing like a unique one-of-a-kind piece to give your your home a little pizzazz.
It's easy to pair a great statement pillow with lower-end pillows, the black and white from
 Ikea, and white fur from Walmart.


I found the tartan plaid wrapping paper at the The Container Store and backed my bookcases.
It ended up being a perfect spot for my favorite faux taxidermy from Homegoods
 that I made over.




What was I thinking, I should have had a fire in there!!

faux taxidermy trend...i'm in


I fell victim to the faux taxidermy trend!
I think it can look chic, stylish and at the same time be the perfect bit of quirk.

The size and detail of these guys I found at Homegoods was perfect, but the color wasn't quite
 what I wanted, so I gave them a makeover with white, gold and silver paint. I planned to
 use them for the holidays and in my Bedroom Reveal for Spring and Summer. 


A change of plans in the bedroom, Mr. Simple is so indecisive when it comes to his
 own home, he just couldn't decide where he liked them best! :) 



Maybe these ideas would have helped...

Is this chic or what?
