Romantic Valentine’s Day Mantel
Roses are red, Violets are blue. A simple Valentine's Day mantel just for you. Valentine's Day is near so I thought I'd share a simple mantel I put together.

I kept it simple this time with just a few pops of pink and white. Let's put the mantel together. For the base of the mantel, I layered … [Read more...]

Patriotic Mantel with Vintage Finds
Do you switch out the decor on your mantel for every season or holiday? While I was in love with my spring mantel using the vintage windows, I decided to switch it up for the summer.

Coffee Filter Garland
I'm teaming up with the ladies of the Sweet Moda Blog Project and this week our theme is coffee filters. I love how fun this coffee filter garland is hanging over our vintage door headboard.
