I have this little antique frame with an old family photo in it that stays on my mantle year round. I added this garland spanning across one side of my mantle and draped it down the side. I also had some extra large pinecones I added in a couple spots. I love adding antlers in when I can as well!
I love adding old books everywhere in the house. they are a great way to add height when needed. These old candlesticks I found at a flea market last year for $1 each! If you don't want color from the books simply turn them around like I did here to keep it neutral.
I usually have my stockings on one holder per stocking but this year I really love them all gathered together to the side on two heavy stocking holders. I found these wood letters at Target and the white and red, pom pom stockings at Walmart. I love classic red and white!
Here are some other Christmas mantles I have done in past years for some ideas!
