Adding Some Color To My All-White Mantel!




I started with an all white base on my mantel……

As much as I love the clean, simple look of the all white mantel this girl needs a touch of color…..

…..So in comes a touch of red, some pine cones for a bit of texture  to tie in with the basket. Now, it is looking a little better. Still not quite right……

ENTERS…… The Ribbons!!

Touches of Kelly green, red, lime green, and of course white, in the form of a swag!

Can you use ribbon without making a bow?

ABSOLUTELY
