My love of religious items, specifically the beautiful candelabras, statues, and gilded and rhinestone encrusted ex voto hearts became a central focus of my home décor.
The mantle itself was adorned with realistic faux greenery, a reproduction of a 16th Century Italian nativity set, and a pair of antique candelabras from a little chapel in France.
On the largest of the tinsel trees, I strung vintage aqua mercury glass beads, and filled the urn with chandelier prisms around the base of the tree. Centered is a whitewashed nativity.
