Home Is Where the Hearth Is

Jan 3, 2012

Quick: name a few things you love about winter. If one of your top picks is hanging out with glass of wine and a group of friends, reading a favorite book while cuddled up in a plush armchair, or getting cozy with a special someone, all in front of a roaring fire, then we’re heading over to your place this weekend.

It’s hard to improve on the naturally romantic ambience of a fireplace, but let’s face it: the mantel is prime decorating real estate. Here are a few inspirations to get you started—some of which were featured in Tina of The Enchanted Home’s  recent guest post on winter white on Home Bunch, and on Habitually Chic.

When you’re done with the mantel, don’t forget the hearth accessories! We’ve handpicked a few glamorous finds.
