Today I’m sharing a little sneak peek at our 2014 Christmas decor which was matched to our new rug and had to be a teal, gold and white Christmas mantel.
I went with real little Norfolk pines and teal, turquoise gold and white ornaments. It’s the first time ever that I didn’t display a garland. It actually feels good to stray from the norm and I love everything paired with the new vases that we acquired for the DoItYourself Magazine shoot.
Teal, Gold and White Christmas Mantel

The combination of teal, turquoise, white and gold is very pretty and somewhat untraditional which is why I love it so much.
I placed simple cheap real trees I had purchased at our local produce place into the vases with some clear Christmas lights.
You can see how I hid the cables for the lights on this mantel by clicking HERE. I think it’s pretty genius 😉

Tschüß,
I love it, I am a big fan of metallics and teal, this is the color combination I have picked for my holiday decor this year as well. . I like how you incorporated the Pho dogs and have some natural element in the decor. Thank you for sharing!
I just saw that on your blog. Love it and thanks
SOOOOO gorgeous!!! love this color combination!!! beautiful!
Thank you my friend!
Love this color combo!
LOVE those colors! So so so pretty!
Those are my favorite colors. Although I am doing a light blue and gold…. not sure yet what else. I wish I could just borrow your house.
SO. GOOD! I can’t wait to see the rest of it. That mantle is killer!
I’m crazy about this mantel Julia!!! Love!
Love the colors – looking forward to seeing your tour next week. XO
Thanks Diane, I can’t wait to see all the tours. It’s my favorite thing and what blog reading is all about!
LOVE your mantle! So beautiful, the white, gold and blue is so fun and so unexpected!
Thank you Krystine!
What a tease! So not fair! I love the teal and white, but of course that’s what I use at my house too 😉
I saw that on your blog Robin.
I’m so glad you shared the teaser! It’s really beautiful! I grew up in Norfolk ,VA and we always have a ltitle Norfolk island pine growing up. I didn’t get it growing up, but I do now, and still want one!
Thanks Corinna, I love their soft needles and it’s the first time I bought one or should I say two 😉
Absolutely gorgeous Julia. You know I LOVE it!! Are those battery lights? Looks amazing!!
Thanks Katja, I should probably write a post about how I hid the cords to these lights in the most sneaky way 😉
Julia- I’ve looked all through here but don’t see how you hid the cords for the lights in the vases on your beautifully designed mantel!! Please let us know? Thanks and Merry Christmas! Cindy
I will post about it on Wednesday. I’m sneaky that way, sorry 😉
So fresh and pretty, Julia! I LOVE that vase. Not sure where it’s from but it would be such an easy DIY. Can’t wait to see your tour on Monday! Have a great weekend.
Looks great–I love those colors! Can’t wait for the rest of the tour 🙂
Thanks Gretchen, it’s finally up today! So much work
