Reclaimed Bliss Blog and A Feature!

 

Hi Everyone!

Just wanted to share with you a NEW BLOG that launched TODAY!

(Hoping you check it out and show ’em some blog love!)

Three creative blogging gals got together to start a new blog named

Reclaimed Bliss.

 

It features some of their creative projects… as well as other bloggers’ creations!

SOOoooo…

I was honored when Kristen (originally from Ella Claire blog) asked if they could feature my

 Old Curbside Rescue Farm Table turned Bench!

(Featured Here on Reclaimed Bliss!)

Before…

After…

 

Thanks so much Ladies!

How exciting!

Wishing them much success!!

Fall Mantel 2012… It’s A Fall Festival!

 

Hope you’re ready for some

Fall Y’all!

This year… my fall mantel theme is: 

‘Fall Festival’

(burlap banner with cut out felt letters)

and

Just to warn you… I went a little crazy with it!  YEP!

Anywho…

Let’s put on our boots and get going to the festival!

So how do we navigate around this place?

Oh Good… directions!  Let’s go right!  :)

For the sign…

just took some scrap wood, cut some points on the end of each piece, painted some words, and glued them on an old stake we had.   Easy Peasy!

The Burlap Sack…Tractor Supply store for $1.00… is covering a decorative jar where the stake is inserted.   It worked out perfect!

Do you remember this BARN?  Click Here if you don’t!

A new coat of red paint made this barn a fantastic focal at the fall festival!

(a little tongue twister there for ya!)

I didn’t have any fall décor until I went to Hobby Lobby!

All the pumpkins, leaves, and hay were compliments of Hobby Lobby’s 40% off sale on fall décor!

Aren’t these chalk board buckets adorable? 

Got ‘em at Target… $1.00 a piece!

An old metal bucket holds the harvest of red delicious fake apples…

Maybe some apple cider or even apple pie for the festival?

Sounds good to me!!

Well Folks…

Hope you enjoyed this year’s Fall Festival on my mantel!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Harvest Everyone!

Praying MANY Fall Blessings to all this season!

Summer Mantel Two…

 

Ok… I told you I might do another summer mantel…

aaaannnd so I did!

Here is my second summer mantel…

I still used some of my painted pots from My Very Colorful Summer Mantel.

I also brought in another oldie but goody… the “ol’ cottage drawer” I repurposed long ago.

 

I had to took the handle off so I could sit some pots on top of it.

I think it blended in nicely with my mantel.

I really like the cool tones of the blue and green in this summer mantel.

And there you have it folks! :)

Now guess what?

Surprise… Surprise…

The wheels in my brain are already turning for decorating my fall mantel!!

LOL!

Crazy me can’t wait!

(NOTE:  sorry for any blurry shots of my mantel… I struggle greatly with lighting in this room!)

Thanks For Stopping By!
