You guys are good! You guessed it, this is my new mantel top!! It is still a work in progress, we threw this together in a day so it isn't quite finished yet. I have two wooden posts to add to each side of the front and I'm still playing around with decorating it but I couldn't wait to show everyone, I'm not good with secrets and surprises!LOL. I am also picturing a beautiful sconce on either side of the fireplace . I have wanted one of these for so long, Jeff made it out of an old door, the pink is the original paint on the door (purchased in Round Top Texas) the little shelf on top was actually off of my childhood dresser, which had seen better days. Well what do you think, do you like it, I just keep walking threw my living room and stop and stare, I love it and Jeff made it for me so that makes it extra special (: I also wanted to show you a pillow cover I picked up the other day, It is a linen material with embroidered flowers on it ,, I thought it was so pretty. Well I hope everyone has a good start to their week and I'm sure I'll think of something else to post about soon!Hugs~Kelly
oooh i love it!! What a great idea! Thanks for sharing:)
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful...the best part is that it was made with love. I sooo wish my hubby was a bit more handy but.....he does let me shop and he even tags along.

What pretty things you have. I love your mantel and all the decorations you have on it. Your dog is so cute too.
ReplyDeleteHi Sis,
ReplyDeleteWe just got in the door and of course I had to run and see what you have been up to. Wow oh wow, did Jeff do a great job with that mantel and you did equally as well decorating it. It looks fabulous!
And I laughed when I read your comment to me about you wanting me to tell the couple to move out of the pink house down the street from mine. lol.
I took pictures of what we did this weekend and am almost ready to post, I am just too tired tonight. I am like you. Happy with the way projects are turning out.
Talk to you soon,
Becky
