The Christmas Season is upon us, right around the corner we?ll be eating our turkey dinners and giving thanks, and then ? hello sweet Christmas! Stockings and trees and lights and maybe even some snow (which is kind of fun for those of us who rarely get any snow!)! It is time to get in the festive holiday spirit! No grinches or?scrooges?allowed here.
West Elm Christmas Stockings
My fireplace is even getting into the holiday spirit with a little pre-holiday makeover of new tile on the face and hearth, just in time for the traditional hanging of the Christmas stockings! I?ll show you that project once it happens next week!
We actually don?t really hang out stockings until after Thanksgiving (although I don?t have any issue with hanging them out earlier).But because I have fun thinking about Christmas, I am kind of wondering what we?ll do with our stockings this year. I love Christmas stockings and decorating our mantel! I?ve been looking around for inspiration, so let?s take a peek at some stockings, shall we?

It is so fun looking at all the ways stockings can be personalized for your home and family. Don?t those sweater stockings look snuggly? ?I have those same Pottery Barn white velvet stockings, as well as one like them with a fur cuff! Love that.
The Inspired Room
A few years ago I finally invested in Pottery Barn stockings for our family. They are simple white velvet quilted stockings. I decided they?d be a good neutral and basic stocking that would be perfect for years to come, since we could use them as they are, or embellish them to create a different look. Plus, if we wanted to, we could add in other colors of stockings and have a variety! Maybe I?ll add in some red this year? Who knows!
Above is a photo of our mantel from a couple years ago. That mantel?s claim to fame was it was published in Cottages & Bungalows magazine!
That year we added lace doilies to the cuffs of our PB velvet stockings, just to mix things up a bit.
I love that you could add flowers, fur, jewelry, buttons, monograms, cute personalized name tags or natural elements like pinecones or greenery and change things up every year!
