I love sharing seasonal mantel updates with y'all. I have been challenging myself to do them for no cost and have succeeded in doing that again today! I encourage you to shop your house and scavenge your yard for natural elements. Even just moving the same decor around your home is a great way to mix things up for the new season.
Since I was going for a summery mantel, I walked around my house and looked for something that screamed "summer". I was really drawn to these framed prints. They are actually part of a gallery wall in our bedroom that I made by framing the pages of a Teil Duncan calendar. That's a great way to get inexpensive art! I set one on a book to give it a little variation in height.
The flowers are in mason jars. In the center are dahlias from our back yard - I just cut a bunch that I didn't think would survive the rain storm! The others are snap dragons which were from a bouquet that my friend sent me this week. Thanks Chelsea!
I love the pops of purple and blue with the existing art and mantel. This is a really sweet setup and I look forward to enjoying it and adding new flowers as these die.
Be sure to check out all of the other summer mantels featured in the linkup!
