Plaid was made for Christmas.

Whenever Christmas rolls around, I have 

design plans of what my mantel will look like.

I imagine different types of ribbons – maybe shiny

ribbons, or textured ribbons – maybe even some

multi-colored ribbons.

Then every year – I always migrate to the plaids.

And every year – I remind myself how much I love them.

I particularly love this year’s plaid.  A red and black tartan 

that is also a wool material.  It was the inspiration for my

Tartan Plaid and Berry Christmas Mantel

I know many people put up their tree first.

In our home,the mantel comes first.  It’s just the

natural progression of my decorating.  The mantel

always sets the stage for the remainder of our home.

This year, I really didn’t have a plan for a design theme.

I knew Mr. Buck would take center stage, once again.

He adores Christmas, you know. 🙂

Once I found the wool tartan plaid ribbon, I went in

search of a coordinating ribbon.  The second I saw the

black and white houndstooth print, I think I lost my

breath I was so excited.

I added a third sheer,white ribbon, also.

I have to say, on a personal level,

this is one of the prettiest ribbon combinations I

have ever put together.  And y’all know I love my ribbons

and bows.

The garland was created by layering lots of elements –

red berries, pine boughs, “snow-covered” sprigs…

And antlers…

(love these!)

I found these matching Tartan plaid stockings.

I can’t wait to fill these for my sweet Grandloves.

On each side of the mantel – white-washed, wood panels

create a backdrop for these small evergreen trees in

black urns, and black lanterns.

the white-painted brick backdrop.

During the day, the pops of red take center stage.

But once night falls and the lights come on…

its a whole new look and feel.

    Oh, Barbara, you’re beautiful mantle is making me miss all the greenery that I usually use for the holidays! So pretty! This year I went with a simpler style. And although I love it, you just can’t beat a home fille with evergreens. Happy holidays!

      Hi Fran, I found it at Hobby Lobby in the regular ribbon section, not the Christmas ribbon aisle. Hope this helps. ~Barb

      Terri I used to sell them in my online shop, Farmhouse Decor Shop, but sold the business to a friend. You can still go to http://www.farmhousedecorshop.com and speak to Tammy about Mr. Buck, but I will tell you they have changed the design and he isn’t as pleasing. He looks “mean.” 😀 But that is where you can start. Good luck. I love him. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by. ~Barb

      I had my handyman install a very tiny screw into the mortar and I painted it the same white. You could see it if you were up close. I left it them there year round. 🙂
