Summer Mantels
My mantel is yucky and ugly so I decided not to decorate it for summer. Instead I mantelized the top of my little china cabinet. It's enough mantel for me! I just threw up some shells in a bowl, some candlesticks, and a message in a bottle. My favorite part is the book of essays called Gifts of the Sea by Anne Morrow Lindbergh.
Here are some beautiful mantels from around the blogiverse!

I meant to email you all and let you know I was borrowing your mantels and forgot! Sorry...but I'm glad you found it! It's great and I was so glad to include it with the others!
DeleteYour "matelization" looks really nice. The color gives a cool and refreshing feel. The message in the bottle was a neat touch.
ReplyDeleteThose blues are so pretty against your gray walls - very fun mantelization of your china cabinet!
