It's really officially feeling like summer around here. I was so excited to be invited to link up with some blogger friends and share our summer mantels! You might remember that I went greenery crazy for my spring mantel! (Those candlesticks sold but I have a lot more available in my Etsy shop!) For my summer refresh, I decided that I wanted more of a summertime tropical feel.
These are all palm leaves that I gathered around the neighborhood. I just love the lush tropical feel. CiCi is less impressed 🙂 The driftwood is from my garage hoardstash.
I have really been enjoying challenging myself to use live greenery. It is outside my comfort zone (I tend to veer more towards hydrangeas in a mason jar) but it has been so good for me and is really opening up my brain to loads of good ideas!
If you are interested - here is the tutorial on how we took our basic mantel to the ceiling and here is my mantels pinterest board.
