“The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,” is one of the many quotable lines from ’Twas the Night Before Christmas, and while stockings aren’t required if there aren’t kiddos in the house, a decorated mantel is—if you have the place for it. Here are some favorites from previous Kappa Kappa Gamma Holiday Homes Tours.
Fresh and Fun
Fresh Fleur florist Monica Faught used classic Christmas hues with a light-hearted and festive twist. A lush, oversized garland filled with ornaments in a variety of colors and sizes make an impact draped across the living room mantel.

The deep purple-y hue of the study in this Fairway home inspired the unexpected colors of the luxe garland created by the team from Studio Dan Meiners. Oversized fabric-covered ornaments blend with fresh greenery, silver accessories, and white fairy lights for a major statement.
Green and Serene
Stockings for everyone in the family (including, if you look closely, the dogs) grace the mantel in the family room decorated by Wild Hill Flowers and Events. Fresh garland surrounds the fireplace, and a classic Christmas dash of red is introduced in the stockings.
