First of all, if you are hoping over from Town and Country Living, thanks for stopping by! I’m excited to show you our Cozy Winter Mantel. We have been verrrrry slowly taking down our Christmas decor over the past few weeks. Typically we take it all down New Years Day and it’s all packed away swiftly. But this year it’s been a gradual process and for the first time ever I decided to leave up some winter decor throughout the downstairs. After all, we will have snow on the ground so it only make sense to keep a few things up.
Cozy Winter Mantel
I love the look of winter white through January and even February. With a dusting of snow outside and temperatures in the teens, we are enjoying this very cozy space every day.
I bought this beautiful watercolor pillow from Ms. Craftberry Bush a few years ago and it always makes its way into our seasonal decor. I love it so much.
Decorating a Mantel Around a TV
Decorative trees are one of my very favorite things to bring out during Christmas and I’m so happy that they easily work into winter decor. Placing them on pedestals gives them height and adds dimension.
DIY Decorative Trees
You can learn how to make the Wood Biscuit Tree and the White Coffee Filter Tree on the blog and the pinecone tree is from Michaels!
Winter White Decorations
We have the fireplace on every second we are home and I couldn’t love this cozy space any more. I’m so glad I decided to transition into winter this year because I just wasn’t ready to go with a completely blank slate! I’m going to enjoy my trees and greenery just a little bit longer!
Up next is Krista from The Happy Housie! I love her take on a winter mantel. Hop on over to her blog to keep seeing Winter Decor inspiration!

Taryn, I love your use of cozy neutrals for the winter season. Great idea to display the trees on pedestals or candlesticks to create height! Lucy’s watercolor pillow is beautiful. I can always spot her handiwork when I see it. It works perfect with your winter mantel vignette. Thanks for organizing today’s hop!
Love everything Lucy’s
That knitted bucket is beautiful….
So pretty, Taryn! I remember way back when you made those little wooden biscuit trees and they’re still one of my favorites of yours. Loving how cozy this is.
Happy New Year, Taryn! Your winter mantel is perfection, so cozy and welcoming. Thank you for sharing it. Cheers, Ardith
Looks so warm and cozy. I love all the nice textures going on in this mantle display. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Taryn! I love your cozy mantel and the cute cotton ball garland! So much gorgeous texture – stay warm!
Such a gorgeous fireplace in itself! The size is amazing & I love the rustic wood trees / candlesticks!
Happy Friday!

So beautiful! Loving the garland!
Thank you so much!
I love that knitted bucket; where did you get it? I really like how you have the garland draped across the mantel as well.
Thank you! The basket is from Michaels this season!
Thanks! I wonder if I’ll get lucky and my local store still have one; we’ll see.
So pretty Taryn! I love the idea of putting your trees up on pedestals!! I have never thought of that – totally brilliant!! Thank you for organizing this great little hop!
Love it all! Where did you get your garland?
Ok, I just zoomed in…is it cottton balls?
Yes it is! I just threaded them on regular thread :)
Can you share the dimensions of the fireplace??? We are putting one in our basement right now and would love a reference point! Thanks!
Hi! The bottom of the hearth is 112″ wide, and it’s 20″ tall by 20″ deep. Our ceilings are 9′ tall, if that helps at all!
