Some New Mirrors Really Made a Difference! {And Spring Mantel}

Entry Mirror

Ever since we have had the faux mantel in the entry/living room, I’ve had the same mirrors up on either side flanking it. They were fine, but I really needed something more. Our house has evolved and changed so much since we got that mantel, so I needed some mirrors that look more updated like the rest of the house.  I’ve been considering these mirrors at Target ever since I’ve seen them. Then they finally went half off so I snagged them up.

The Sweet, But Not Too Sweet Valentine’s Day Mantel

Valentine Mantel

Hi friends hope you had a great weekend! I was able to finish up our Valentine’s Day mantel over the weekend and snap some pics because we finally had some sunshine! It’s been a dreary couple of weeks here.  And usually I do some pretty foo-fooey mantels for Valentine’s Day but this year I wanted to bring it down a notch. So I kept the pink boa packed away this year. Haha.

A Festive Christmas Mantel

Woohoo the Christmas mantel is done!! I’m pretty much done decorating the house now for Christmas so that’s nice. I was done early this year. Now I just need to finish my shopping! Oh and the weather seriously needs to get cooler. It’s like 75 and 80 degrees again! Anywho, let’s just get right to the mantel.

The Gold and Glam Fall Mantel

Fall Mantel

Happy Monday everyone I hope you had a great weekend! I’m so excited to reveal our Fall Mantel today! I’m calling it my goldy-glam mantel because of all the sparkly gold. There’s just something about gold (real or fake) that makes everything feel fancier right? Anywho, here she is all glammified.

The Beachy Summer Mantel

Summer Mantel

Hey everyone I hope you had a great weekend, and for all you mamas out there, hope you had a happy Mother’s Day too!  I got a few things accomplished and that was nice, and one of them included taking down the Spring/Easter mantel and creating a new summer mantel.  And I loooooove how it [...]

The Spring and Easter Mantel!

Spring Mantel

I can’t believe it’s finally Spring! Well, it feels like it is anyway. Did anyone actually have a real winter this year? We sure didn’t! But anyway, I love how this year’s Spring mantel turned out and I can’t wait to show you! Pin It I call it the simple and elegant spring mantel. :) [...]

The Valentine’s Day Mantel

The house is all pinkified and ready for Valentine’s Day!  Well ok, just the mantel is pinkified and I love it. I love pink.  I’m certain I need my own pink room somewhere.  Where that will be I have no idea, but it’s nice to think about it. :) Anyway here’s the mantel! Valentine’s Day [...]

The Christmas Mantel

Christmas Mantel

Well, hello there!!!  It’s been a while, yes?  I’ve missed you all so much, and before I show the mantel I want to thank all of you for the sweet comments, emails, tweets, and Facebook messages about the pregnancy.  I am feeling much better these days and am trying to get back in the groove, [...]

The Fall Mantel

Fall Mantel and Ballard Books

Well it’s that time of year again…Fall!!  And nothing gets me more excited than to decorate the mantel (and the house) with Fall decor.  It’s just a cozy time of year. :) This year I went with a rustic look and used lots of natural elements and textures.  I was going to try and do [...]

My Awesome Antique Finds

Antique Scale

Hey all!  I don’t know about y’alls Goodwills and thrift stores, but for me, they’ve been a total bust lately.  Granted I haven’t gone much this summer, but I do pop in occasionally searching for the next treasure.  So since I haven’t had any luck at those stores, I decided to go to a really [...]

The Birthday Mantel

Birthday Mantel

A certain little girl is turning 2 this weekend! Oh my.  We are having a little party here at the house, but I’m not going crazy on decorations or anything (or food), so don’t be expecting some elaborate birthday party post.  Although it was pretty, last year’s party was just a little too nutty for [...]

A Sea of Glass…The Summer Mantel

Yellow Flowers Mantel

Y’all know how much I LOVE redoing our mantel right?  Well it was time for another switcheroo since summer is almost here (yay!), and so I wanted to bring in some bright cheery colors, and since I can’t get enough of yellow these days, yellow and aqua is what landed on the mantel this time. [...]

The Spring Mantel

Spring Mantel

Spring has sprung and I’m loving it!  Y’all know how much I love redoing our mantel each season, and now I really love it with the new paint color on the walls because it allows me to pretty much do whatever I want to do now.  Not that I couldn’t before, but some colors just [...]

A Winter Mantel

Transitioning your Christmas decor into winter decor can be a bit tricky, but if you just do what you think is pretty, then it will work. :) That’s what I did with my winter mantel this year. I kept most everything from my Christmas mantel on there, but just added a mirror that I got [...]

Deck the Mantel

Ho ho ho!  It’s definitely beginning to feel like Christmas now.  We’ve been busy ever since Friday trying to get all of the Christmas decorations up, but I’ve learned when you have a toddler, you have to do it in increments. :) But I did manage to get the mantel complete so that’s what I’ll [...]

My Fake Mantel

Yesterday I showed you all the awesome mantel I scored at the Pottery Barn outlet.  Now today, I will show you her all fancied up for Fall.  :)  I just want to kiss it! Do you want to kiss it too?  Too bad! :) I am SO in love with having a mantel to decorate. [...]

A Spontaneous Trip

Over the weekend we were headed to the local outlet mall to buy me some clothes.  But somehow we did something totally out of the norm and took a little 3 hour road trip to the BIG outlet mall, with baby and all.  We literally did a u-turn on the freeway and just started driving [...]
