My After Christmas Snowy Winter Fireplace
Christmas may be over but your decor doesn’t have to be! Come see how to put snowy winter fireplace decor together for a cozy look.
But, that wasn’t the case for me this year. I must have been all decorated out after the flurry surrounding the holidays and my creativity seemed to have left me in a lurch. No matter how much I stared and stared at my fireplace, nothing would come to me!
YOU’LL FIND A SHOPPING GUIDE TO GET MY LOOK AT THE END OF THIS POST!
I used to fret about such things, but I’ve learned over the years to just relax and something will eventually come to me. Well…that something came to me when Pookie and I were out hitting a few of the after Christmas sales!
Oh, how I love shopping after Christmas! Not the first day or even the second day after Christmas – it’s too crowded. I prefer to wait several days afterwards and then start hitting some of my favorite stores. By then, most stores have marked their items down to rock bottom prices!
My first bit of inspiration struck at the dollar store where they had all of their Christmas marked 50% off – that’s 50¢, y’all! That was where I spied tons of snowflakes. I had found my snowy theme!
Then, I found several different styles of adorable black and white Nordic-look sweater and yarn-wrapped ornaments, at a different store, and my fireplace mantel plan was born!
I left the layer of faux greenery from Christmas in place and proceeded to decorate away! The adorable Nordic ornaments were placed here and there. As a final snowy touch, I scattered snowflakes around that I cut out with a snowflake punch and white cardstock.
Cute little wooden stools were perfect for topping with my snow covered faux mini trees. And the leaning shutters behind them make a great backdrop.
A trip to a local fabric store allowed me get what I needed to created the winter wreath above the mantel.
The wreath and snowflakes were soooo easy, y’all! You can find the step by step tutorial by clicking HERE.
It turned out to be a little bit prophetic that I used a snowy theme for my fireplace, because here’s what we woke up to Saturday morning. This is what over 8″ of snow looks like at my house in North Carolina!
I try to do something different with my fireplace every season. Check out how I decorated it last winter HERE.

Beautiful! Inspires me to want to do something with my fireplace.
I absolutely LOVE it! Am totally in love with the black and white wreath and look forward to the tutorial. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home and creative ideas.
Beautiful! Your home is amazing.
So pretty! I’m remodeling my home right now and basically using your designs as my inspiration. Thank you for doing the hard work for me!
Love your mantle. I have yet to disassemble my mantle, because I enjoy it so much. I believe I will also keep my little white lights and greenery. I also am leaving my 3 lanterns out. I adore those alpine Nordic yarn ornaments. Did these really come from the Dollar Tree store? There are a lot of hidden treasures to be found there.
Hi Bev. You’re so right about finding hidden treasures at Dollar Tree, but the Nordic ornaments didn’t come from there – only the snowflakes did. I found the Nordic ornaments at At Home in their Christmas clearance. Sorry for the confusion!
Omg, so pretty!! Thank you for providing the sources… I would like to get a couple of those little footstools also!
Thank you for providing the sources… I would like to get a couple of those little footstools also! Very nice!
Sorry didn’t mean to publish twice…

Love your mantle – in all seasons! I can’t wait to see the tutorial on how to make the wreath.
Beautiful, Suzy! I need a fireplace. Or a mantle. Something to decorate besides bookshelves! Love this look to continue through until spring gets a little closer.
I love the snowflakes! I have a big fireplace/mantle and it’s perfect for something like this however I live in So Cal and snowflakes in a place where it never snows just seem wrong!
I love it. Thank you for encouraging me to shop at the dollar store. The black and white Nordic-look sweater and yarn-wrapped ornaments are so cute. The dollar store does have such treasures.
SOOO excited to see the tutorial on the snowflakes. I’m figuring you mean the standing ones… I hope! It looks lovely, Suzy!
Definitely a room I would like to sit and snuggle up in a chair.
Love your mantle. The shutters and trees are beautiful.

I love your Winter mantle! The little trees on top of the stools are adorable and so creative!
Your home looks beautiful in the snow! 😉
Beautiful Suzy….Happy New Year!
I really like the black and white elements of your mantel display. Very clean and simple.
I love your blog it is the first thing I check in the morning . Love the idea of the snowflakes so cheap and easy but makes a cute display. Could be used many places like a tablescrape or buffet thank you so much for the idea.
