It's about time, right? I actually finished this up a couple of weeks ago, but am just now getting around to sharing my summer mantle. I wanted to keep this mantel simple but layered, and in keeping with a summertime and travel theme. Did I hit the mark? The painting of the little girl running in the waves is something I purchased a few years ago at a Special Olympics art auction. It reminds me of my daughter. Of course, my map … [Read more...]
I love tweaking. And what better time to tweak than spring? As I'm starting to see all the Mantle linky parties out there in the blogosphere, I thought I'd better get on mine. So here was my winter mantle (that I loooooovvvveed)... And here is my update for spring... I know... not a dramatic change, but I just couldn't part with my antique frame propped on my mirror or my new French sheet music candles... so I just added a … [Read more...]
This has to be one of the easiest projects I've undertaken and I love the impact it has on my mantle. I could just see it in my head, but you know how that goes-- seems simple, but ends up being much more complicated? Not this one. Just a few materials needed: The planter is a discontinued Willow House product that's been sitting in my basement after being overlooked in my sample sale. Lucky me. :) I spraypainted the … [Read more...]
Ahhhh... keeping my winter mantle super simple this year. Sorry for the little ceiling fan pull hanging down! Yes, {gasp!} we have a ceiling fan in our family room. :-) If I want my pretty pillows to stay on the sofa, I had to concede something to the Y chromosomes in the household! And yes, they are the only ones that ever turn it on. Here's the low down: Mirror -- Ballard Designs (actually Ballards' … [Read more...]
I love to change up my holiday decor every year, but this year I went further with a new color palette in my family room than ever before. Lots of neutrals and metallics with only a few pops of color... keeping it simple. Because I'm working around these... These are our family stockings... and there are stories there. This is the one that started it all-- my stocking, made by my great-aunts for my first Christmas 44 years ago. The … [Read more...]
Gosh, it feels so good to check SOMETHING off my list! It's been a busy week already with my son's Football banquet last night (he got his varsity letter-- woo hoo!) and preps for the hubs birthday on Friday. Oh, and finishing up decorating, crafts, dealing with a rodent problem, and Christmas festivities at the preschool. Hmm. Thank goodness for gingerbread lattes! Anyhoo, my Christmas mantle is ready to be shared! Please note: I … [Read more...]
Finally! A day where I can actually feel fall in the air! I've been in search of my autumn "chi" since the blogosphere and magazines began exploding with fall decor, recipes, color schemes, etc, and I just couldn't get there. Maybe crossing over into the second half of September, maybe the chill that blew in last night on a cold front, or maybe that delectable Skinny Cinnamon Dolce latte at Starbucks did it. Whatever it … [Read more...]
