The Nester http://nestingplacenc.blogspot.com/2008/12/your-garland-is-showing.html gave a tutorial a few weeks ago on how to create a fab garland. I was inspired to update the living room look.
I used a semi cheap pre-lit garland (half off at Lowe's and super skinny!!), another cheap garland from my collection and a really great garland on a twig base that I have used for fall decorating in the past.
I added star light covers that I found in the ornament box and 1/2 price berry twigs from Lowe's and some sparkly pieces.
I put my Longaberger Holiday baskets on the mantel with a collection of deer I have had since I was little and a collection of santas that we started when we first married.
I also added an old window. I think it may need a wreath or a swag on it. What do you think?

Oh I think it looks beautiful and I loved and appreciated your Longaberger baskets too! :-) Merry Christmas!
That looks so beautiful!!
I wanted to participate in this but I don't have a single piece of Garland!! I thought I did, but no such luck.
I guess I never felt the need since this is the first house we've ever had with a fireplace!!
Love it and that brick is wonderful!
Oh I love your garland. It's so lush and pretty. Absolutely adorable!
That looks fab! I wanted to do my garland but we actually don't own any and it's been too crazy to buy some! I love that old window, it looks great! I agree, a wreath would be super cute in there. Those are some awesome collections too, totally jealous!
So pretty and I love those baskets!
The reindeer totally rock. How wonderful.
WOW! Your garland is amazing! It's so full and luscious! The colors you used are so pretty! GREAT job!
It looks so pretty! I love the fullness of it. I think a wreath would look great in the window! Very cute!
Oh, I love it! I love the red apples in there...is that what those are? Beautiful!
