A few days ago I decided it was time to switch up our mantel. After seeing my aunt's summery/beachy decor at her house for my cousin's going away party, I had my inspiration!
First of all, look at how cute this little curtain is that she added under her kitchen sink!
I also happen to work at Pottery Barn and we sell big hurricane vases, shells, and starfish. I knew I could recreate the look for less, though. Don'tcha love how I just told you you could create a look from PB, the store I work at, for less. Awesome salesperson (;
Anyways! Here's what I came up with for our mantel:
Fresh hydrangeas from our front yard:
A painting I did added height to the mantel, along with some pretty yellow roses from the yard, too!
I bought these shells on sale at Michael's and filled a glass jar we had at home. I put it on top of a candle holder to get it up thee a little more! It looks like one piece, and I like that!
Our PB birdie sits near my great grandma's clock:
Summer mantel complete! Ya know, halfway into summer. Better late than never! (:
Have you done anything to spruce up your mantel for summer?
Have a blessed day!
Love,

ReplyDeleteThat looks sweet! I especially love the seashells, I have huge collections of shells at home waiting for me to move so I can display them!
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful! I love anything with a beachy type theme or flowers :-)
ReplyDeleteFresh flowers make me swoon! Looks beautiful my friend. I have a few picture frames, candles, antique glass bottles, and a sparkly bird on my mantle! According to the show "Portlandia," us Oregonians love to put birds on things:-) xoxo
