I trust you all had a great weekend! Mine was busy! Besides meeting with a new client in La Verne, CA yesterday for a color and material consultation, Nick and I have been busy putting up Christmas lights and finishing up the holiday decorating around our home. Since we don’t have a mantel above our fireplace, I’ve never felt like I had the proper place to hang our stockings. I thought it was time to do some research and I thought I’d share it with you all in case some of you are struggling with the same stocking issue!
QUESTION: “Where do I hang my stockings if I don’t have a mantel?
ANSWER: on the banister
QUESTION: “What if I don’t have a banister either?”
ANSWER: in your window
QUESTION: “What if I don’t like them in my window?”
ANSWER: try them at the foot of your bed
OR… on your piano
OR… make your own mantel by purchasing a shelf and hang it any where you like on the wall
OR… hang them on the knobs of your dresser
Are any of these acceptable alternatives for you? I like the window idea and also buying a shelf to make my own. I don’t have staircase and I’d like to keep our stockings in the public area of our home rather than tucked away back in our bedroom.

I love the on the window idea!
Wow these are all such great ideas!! I know what you mean about wanting the stockings on display rather than tucked away in the bedroom. Although someday I think it would be fun to decorate the bedroom just as much as the rest of the house, just to create a cozy ambience everywhere. I can't wait to own my own house someday! I'm going to check here OFTEN for great ideas like these.
