My parent had fireplaces without mantels so we didn't have that area to decorate! Do you have a fireplace mantel? Do you decorate for the holidays?
-
No mantel but I want one sooooo badly! I wanna hang stockings on it during Christmas!
-
We don't anymore. Our last place had one and I miss it! I would love to have one to decorate, especially for Christmas!!
-
We have one but we're Jewish so no Christmas decorations for us.
-
No, and we have two fireplaces. Bummer. We did not have one growing up either. I don't even know why we had a fireplace since I grew up in Hawaii but we did have one, just no mantel.
-
Yup! I've got my Fall decorations up now! I love having a mantel! I usually end up putting too much stuff up there and coming downstairs one morning and rearranging everything haha.
-
We do! But I find it so hard to decorate! I feel like things have to be exactly proportionate and make sense with the rest of the house decorations, so it takes a while to figure out what to put up there..
-
No... But we don't have a fireplace either
my mom always makes hers so pretty for holidays, I loved hanging our Christmas stockings from the mantel! So festive!
-
Even worse - No fireplace!! Santa is really going to be magical in our house. He's going to come in from the TV!! Haha. I only say that because I decorate the TV table like a mantle.
-
Yes, and I love decorating it for fall and Christmas. The rest of the seasons it's a bit barren, but I'm trying to buy a little for each season bit by bit.
-
Yes! I love to hang the stockings on it and put the nativity there during the holiday season. I'm going to get my fall decorations out on 10/1 and put something up there. It's still too hot now.
-
I'm not sure yet! We're in the process of designing our fireplace and I love the modern/sleek look of fireplaces w/o mantels. But having one for the holidays will be great as well.
-
Sort of? We have a fireplace in our new place, which I'm sooooo excited about! But for some reason, the builders who worked on our house only drywalled the fireplace, which sticks out about two (!) feet into the room, and didn't put any finishes on it!
So there's this HUGE mantel surface that doesn't have the look of a mantel. DH wants to build a mantel out of wood to go on top and make it less boxy. I want something to hang stockings off of, haha!
In my childhood home we didn't have a fireplace, so we had the tradition of hanging our stockings off the stair railing. That was nice too!
-
Yep. Right now it has 3 little pumpkins on it. We put garland on the mantel in December.
-
I never had one growing up, but DH and I just moved into a new house and we have one. I am SO excited about decorating for Christmas. Can't wait to hang our stockings there!
-
Nope, no fireplace. But we're Jewish too, so no stockings, either. Growing up though, we put our menorahs up there for Chanukah, so we have to find a different place to do that in this house!
-
Yup. Last year I put a big greenery swag on the mantel and got personalized stocking holders, so I think I'll use the same setup this year.
-
Yep... I usually only decorate around Christmas... and leave standard candles/photos the rest of the year---
-
Yes we have one, so far we've only been in the house for about 2 weeks but it's decorated for fall and will be for halloween, fall again, then Christmas!
-
No fireplace at all!! Wah.,
-
I have one and pictures of family reside on their. I love being able to decorate it with holiday specific garlands draping in and out of the photos. Plus, there's something classic about hanging stockings on their for Christmas.
-
No, but I get so sad when I see the pretty displays on Pinterest! Next house that is a non-negotiable! haha
-
Yes, and it looks the same all year. I think I hung stockings once?
-
we have no fireplace at all and I am so sad! we already joke about what stories we will tell our LO to explain how Santa comes to our house through the doors and windows only.
-
Yes & yes. We have nice vases and glass up there usually but just a few days ago I took it all down and subbed in a very warm fall theme..Candles and all...I love fall:)
-
Yes we do! It's original from 1915
I love having a fireplace. I do change the decorative things that are up there from time to time. Right now we've got a couple a pictures (one large one), some vases and candles. A menorah and some dreidels will be up there once Hanukkah rolls around.
my mom always makes hers so pretty for holidays, I loved hanging our Christmas stockings from the mantel! So festive!
