Not Letting Go

August 6, 2012

This is such a busy time of the summer for us.My daughter starts school next week.I can’t believe that!
This week more family time and a concert are planned.Lots of school shopping to do too.
Today I wanted to share my mantle.It normally looks like a black hole.In the summer I  like to keep it covered.I painted this head/foot board and brought it to my booth.I had second thoughts and brought it home to place in front of my fireplace.I painted this using a few different blues to give it a French blue color that I wanted.I added patina from Annie sloan dark wax.Pages from a vintage French book adorn the front of this.

I am still enjoying the colors of summer.I love these blue ball jars.I am going to enjoy placing my white hydrangeas on here too.
I love the simple look of my mantle.
What are you enjoying?

    I’m catching up on blogs, and your headboard turned firescreen caught my eye. I think keeping it for yourself was a good idea. It looks perfect in front of your fireplace!

    This is a great idea for covering up the fireplace opening- I love it! I’ll have to keep a lookout for a headboard or two, now!

    I was thinking “white flowers” in those fantastic blue jars would be so pretty!

    Aren’t you clever? There are lot of small cottage-style headboards around, and this is a great up cycle idea.

    What a neat way to “shabby up” a fireplace. Those bell jars are so pretty against all the white.

    Of course you want to keep that airy mantle feel for a while longer. The headboard/firescreen is a great idea and so nicely done! ~ Maureen

    This looks so lovely! I really need to look at something for our ‘all year long’ black hole. A fireplace never used…
    Thank you for the inspiration! Fabulous job!!

ABOUT THIS BLOG

ABOUT THIS BLOG

Hi I'm Anne.
I started this blog many years ago to share my passion for home decor. My tastes have changed and so did I.
We recently moved to Florida and we are starting a new chapter. My main focus on this blog has shifted. With that I'll be sharing more than home decor.
You'll see makeup tips, skincare, fashion and a little bit of decor as well. You can check out my Youtube channel as well and follow me along. I'll leave all of my older posts up as a reference. But you'll see lots of changes.
