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).  Winking smile

Love the way it turned out!

In the last post, I showed off my pretty faux tiles I painted on our porch … here.

Next up… the columns

The paint was peeling… here… and I knew it would be an easy fix!

A Southern Porch In The Making… part two (Faux Tiling)

WARNING – LONG Photo Heavy Post!
I shared with you the downers of my dreamy southern porch and the big plans I had for it…here.
Well… it is FINALLY starting to shape up.
So for this post… let’s talk concrete!
I showed you the “ugly” of our existing bare concrete.
Not being able to afford new concrete… or tile… or something cool…
my solution was suppose to be an easy spray on stain.
