Ok readers, sorry to be ummmm super repetitive here, but
I wanted to give my lil mantle makeover a post all it's own...
I wanted to link up with some other blogs and the original mantle
post had a bunch of other stuff too.
So, here's my happy mantle again...
Remember how she looked before: tired and sad?
Using only stuff I had lying around the house, including the old wood door,
I spiffed up my mantle and made it more happy.
Scrap fabric and twine made this little pendant banner.
Love the mix of stripes and floral.
And a few wood frames I spray painted to make them match better.
And that's it! New, happy, summery mantle in about 2 hours.
Yeah for easy peasy projects!!
Have a happy weekend, all!

This is gorgeous! I'm finding myself obsessed with reclaimed wood these days, so this is going right to Pinterest!
I pinned you too! You seem to be getting pinned all over the place! I have a garage full of reclaimed wood from a neighbors old fence and I am totally copying you and will give you full credit for the inspiration...this is freakin awesome
