Mixing cut greens into your store bought garland adds texture, interest, and allows you to make it your own! I wanted something pretty traditional to juxtapose the more modern painting by Ryan Strong and wire sculpture, so I kept things symmetrical and used lots of evergreens and boxwood. The hits of eucalyptus keep it current, and the silvery green brings texture. I love all of the natural elements against the jeweled mantle scarf – Frontgate needs to bring that back, don’t they? I am betting my girls battle it out for that thing.
Here is our home at Christmastime in previous years.

Beautiful mantel garland! How do you keep the fresh stems from drying out?
I can’t get enough of this room now that you painted it. I remember it when it was the “wood room.” The color you chose could not be more perfect. It’s just beautiful!
Thank you very much!
