Winter Mantel 2018

I love creating seasonal mantels.

Winter gives me a chance to come up with natural, #rustic tones for my living room #mantel.

With this year’s winter mantel decor…

I used items such as a shipping crate panel, a woven placemat…

a bushel basket lid, a mixed media art piece I’ve been working on…

and I made these cute little berry branch trees.

And of course, I had to add outdoor elements such as the pine cones and cut wood!

I also added some winter wheat and berries to an old milking bucket along side an antique crock.

All those elements created lots of yummy texture that I love!!

Thanks for stopping by and hope everyone stays warm this winter…

it’s been a cold one!

 

Fall Mantel 2014

Fall is right around the corner...

the cool breeze, no humidity, the smell of outdoor firewood burning, leaves falling... 

I love it!!

As most of you may know...

every year... 

I try to do a fall mantel.

This year was no exception...

And of course... 

I had to bring out the ol' hammer, paint, and glue on this one.

My house was under construction for a few days.

But I got it finished!

Sooo...

here is my Fall Mantel for 2014...

Welcome to my

Pumpkin Patch!

I decided to go a little arts and crafty on this one.

Fall Mantel 2013

Hey everyone!  Sorry I haven’t posted in awhile.

It turned out to be a busy summer… with projects in our backyard.

We had to fix some drainage problems and are still in the process of relaying stone.

It has been the longest and hardest DIY project e-vuh… lol!

However…

I did get a chance to finally create a Fall Mantel! 

I know… I know… it’s already October… but better late than never… right?!

So…without further ado…

here’s my Fall Mantel!

This was a fun one to create!

Not sure if you can tell… but I’m using two panels from my old crate table.

I also used fabric and paper to fill the center of each framed piece.

The glass vases are filled with apples, wood pieces, leaves, along with wheat and berries (fake of course). 

Love the way it turned out!

Happy Fall Blessings!
