Style Challenge Mantel Reveal

It is time! Are you ready to see my holiday mantel reveal and discover what was inside all those boxes?!

A little over a month ago, I was asked to participate The Home Depot’s Holiday Style Challenge. I am always up for a challenge and who doesn’t love a reason to begin decorating for Christmas early?! The Home Depot sent me four large boxes of holiday decor and requested that I decorate my mantel using the items. Home Depot’s Holiday Style Challenge boxes are the most fun boxes I’ve ever received. They are covered with past participates designs.

Go to The Home Depot blog to see the full Christmas mantel reveal. But first, here is a little sneak peek:

Want to know how to make the large DIY wooden wreath sign? The full tutorial is on the blog and you can see it here. It is a great and inexpensive way to fill a large space – especially over a mantel!

I have never decorated with red before, so it was fun to try something new – although I’ll probably go back to my neutral Christmas decor next year…

Thanks so much to Home Depot for the fun challenge of the style challenge mantel reveal!

Christmas Mantel Decor Ideas

This post brought to you by At Home. The content and opinions expressed below are that of sincerely, sara d.

This year, my fireplace received a Christmas makeover. This is a photo of my fireplace last Christmas:

There was just too much going on, and I wanted something calm and cozy this year.

My home is filled with At Home Christmas Decor this year. (To see my recent dining room Christmas makeover, click HERE.) At Home has been my one-stop-shop! If you’re not familiar with At Home, they were formally Garden Ridge, and they have MUCH more than just Christmas decor. The store is huge and filled with every home decor item imaginable!

At Home has 15 different themes that you can use on their own or group to make your perfect look: Seas & Greetings, Holiday Hoedown, Lavish and Luxe, Peppermint Jazz, Berry Platinum, Forest Fairy Tales, Crystal Chateau, Cherished Memories, Heaven and Earth, Midnight Plume, Regal Renaissance, Snowcapped Scene, Handcrafted from Around the World, Dem Darlings, and Handcrafted. I used Lavish & Luxe and Crystal Chateau for my dining room, and Snowcapped Scene for my fireplace decor which includes:

- Simple Wreaths

- White Fur Stockings

- Burlap Ribbon

- Snowy Garland with Pinecones

Golden Antlers

The Christmas section is unbelievable. At Home has a separate section devoted entirely to 101 varieties of artificial Christmas Trees. (I’ll be sharing my tree next week!). And they have holiday decor – both indoor and outdoor. I filled my cart full of so many pretty things thanks to At Home’s everyday low prices.

I love the texture these stockings give my space. Fur and pom poms? Yes, please!

And these simple wreaths with pinecones showcase my Christmas art.

I just couldn’t say no to these gold antlers.

When decorating your home for the holidays, do you stick with one decor theme or mix and match?

Also, I’ll be sharing my At Home Christmas Tree for Me next week!
