Hi all! I hope you enjoyed your weekend!
I realize I’m probably one of the last to showcase a Summer mantel,
but I’ve been so busy of late I had neither the time nor inspiration to change
my mantel. And although the calendar suggests Summer has officially arrived,
it has not felt like Summer around, which I’m sure also influenced my delay.
That was until today, when it was scorching!
I’m not really sure I like it yet, and as such have been playing around with
different items. If you have been walking this journey with me for a while,
you’ll know putting together a mantel is one of my favourite things to do.
(You can see some of my mantels in the ‘Project Gallery’ tab under mantels)
As usual, lots of homemade goodies on this one:
The mantel itself is very simple and I’m not convinced it will stay this way.
That’s why I’ll show you another set up tomorrow, along with a neat DIY tutorial.
Until then, I hope you have a great start of the week!
much love,
I always love your posts! LOVE the pink flamingo!! Your mantel is beautiful!
Just back from vacation and popping in to say Hi! Your mantle is gorgeous. LOVE the flamingo-lol Have a wonderful week-xo Diana
Beautiful! I love anything that has to do with the beach and flamingos always give me a good chuckle! They are such cool birds! I love to see them in person when in Florida. Love that you painted one yourself! All of the colors go so nicely together! Hugs, Leena
lovin the pink flamingo too! I’ve been slightly obsessed with those guys lately and my mantel is actually sportin a pink flamingo right now. However, mine is a tray I found from Home Goods…don’t have the skills to paint one myself. 😉
Oh Lucy, I caught your latest post, and loved the calming color palette of the blues on your mantle, but when I scrolled down, BAM! I just fell instantly in love with your pink flamingo. Oh my, that lady is FABULOUS! What’s her name? Love them both!
Have a great week!

Recently I found a great home decor store floor and decor ! There is an incredible selection: stylish vases, cozy blankets, pillows of all colors and shapes, and what paintings and candles! You can choose something special for each room. I managed to update the interior of the living room and bedroom in literally one visit. Everything looks so stylish and cozy.
