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

Hi Linda,
ReplyDeleteI just love your display! Your wallpaper is gorgeous, and I really love how you have accessorized, especially the sweet egg print on the vintage wooden hanger. Love it!
Hi Linda,
ReplyDeleteAwesome mantle your hubby made for you! I just love seeing all your great treasures. Love the wallpaper too! Wanna come over and help me redo mine! You could give Sweet Pea some loving too!
Warmly,
deb :)
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!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a pretty display! You're going to have a ball decorating for the various seasons.

Linda, I love the natural items you used on your mantle. The most creative part of it is the honeycomb. How unique. I love it!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty natural elements on your mantel. I really like the look and the pieces that you've used.
ReplyDeleteMantel 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.
