Back with day 2 of the mini series – “1 mantel decorated 5 ways in 5 days” Today I am sharing more of a modern/contemporary/clean version of an all season decorated mantel. At least as modern as this non-modern girl can get! Simple, more sleek accessories. I left the hearth very simple with some baskets […]
Traditional mantel with a touch of glam {1 mantel decorated 5 ways}
I am so excited to bring you this mini-series this week! I have been wanting to do this for a while and I am glad that I could finally put it together. For the next 5 days I plan to share with you some mantel decorating tips in a series entitled, “1 mantel decorated 5 […]
How to make an EASY, no-sew, DIY fabric bunting
I showed you my patriotic mantel yesterday, but I wanted to share with you how easy it was to make the simple bunting or pendants hanging over my window. I think bunting is really gaining in popularity – I am starting to see fabric versions popping up at all kinds of parties and in pictures […]
Patriotic Mantel (red, white, and blue mantel)
I am excited to share my Patriotic Mantel with you today! I always change things over from spring/Easter décor and go with a red, white and blue/Patriotic theme from mid-May/Memorial Day to July 4th. I love Patriotic/Americana things so this is my one chance to go all out! This was last years Patriotic mantel. So […]
Yellow and blue Spring/Easter mantel
So excited to start sharing some spring things with you! First up is my spring mantel. Come March 1st (sometimes before depending on if the weather is cooperating), I am ready for all things SPRING! This year we have had some cooler temps here in GA into March but have also had a few days […]
Valentine’s Day Mantel {Valentine Mantel}
Excited to share my Valentine’s Mantel with you today! I really liked how it turned out. It all started when I saw a blogger (can’t remember which one?) post about a pom-pom garland at Michael’s. So I picked some up a few weeks ago – $2.99 each but I had a 20% off your entire […]
White Winter Mantel
I am excited to share my winter mantel with you today. I have had this mantel pretty much done since 3 days after Christmas – I think all my “I am itching to get the Christmas décor down early” mood was just that I was itching to decorate my mantel (or something!) again! In past […]
A year of seasonal mantels in 2012
When I was working on my Top projects of 2012 post, I didn’t feature any of my mantels. I thought it would be fun to put all my mantels of 2012 in one post and sort of do a “tour of mantels throughout the year.” I LOVE decorating my mantel and I LOVE looking at […]
Neutral + Vintage Christmas mantel
I am excited to share my vintage, homemade, and neutral Christmas mantel with you today. This mantel is so different in many ways than my past Christmas mantels. Here was last year’s mantel – all burgundy and gold. This year I am trying to leave out as much red/burgundy from my decorations as possible. Just […]
DIY Sunburst Mirror {$4 wall art}
I am a little late to the “sunburst bandwagon” that seemed to run through blogland last summer, but I’ve never been one to be on the peak of fashion or décor so why start now? I actually did make this at the end of last summer before I was blogging here and just haven’t […]
