A Natural Mantle Display...and Still Time To Enter The Giveaway!

 

In our entryway, we have a mantle my husband built of scrap lumber for a store display I needed.  After I was done using it in the shop, we decided to use it as a decorative display at home.  It's now in the foyer, and I enjoy changing it out often, for the seasons or just because...   Right now, I am decorating it with lots of natural elements...


I also have silverplate and mercury glass to accent it...I love this footed compote filled with eggs~ the antlers are naturally shed and very bleached out... and you may remember the telescope as one of my recent finds!


 

I found two large pieces of coral at a garage sale and used old books and a clock, too...


a jar of shells and some honeycomb I found in the yard adds to the look...


The room has bird and nature prints and paintings...



Don't forget you can still enter the giveaway HERE!  It ends Monday July 26th 10 PM CST!


Until next time...
Linda

  3. This is very cool and homey and inviting. It makes me think of going back in time to a naturalists house. Hey, is that a slacks hanger holding the picture? I like that idea!

  6. Very pretty natural elements on your mantel. I really like the look and the pieces that you've used.
    Mantel confession time....After I took down my Christmas decorations I never decorated my mantel. It's been bare for 7 months! Guess I'll just wait and decorate for fall.
    Have a great weekend.
