I love decorating! I'm not very good at it, but if I could I would decorate for every holiday...New Years, July 4th, Christmas and everything in between.
So I decided to copy one of the latest decorating crazes right now and that's decorating your mantle. I decided to go with a beachy theme since THAT is the essence of summer for me.
Usually I have the black mirror, some candles, and the glass hurricanes (on the left).
I added the sea glass from Michael's...
put some sand and seashells in the hurricanes...
...the open wood frame is from Hobby Lobby. I stapled twine to the back and got little clothespins to attach the shells.
The mason jars were my own. The tall blue jar was from Kirklands and I can' remember where the little blue one was from.
Lastly, this coral picture holder is from Kohls' clearance section.
