Entry Shelf (Mantel)

It was time to change the decor on the shelf in the Entry. I’m going to call it a Mantel though, because it fits my purpose for being able to join the Nester’s Mantel Party today. It kind of looks like a mantel. Don’t you think?

Entry 001

My house is North facing so I try to keep things pretty light in this area.

Entry 002

I took some of these from the fireplace mantel.

Entry 003

And these from the kitchen area. Do you remember the twine wrapped vases I made last Summer?

Entry 004

It was looking just the way I wanted it too, except I wanted to bring in a touch of bright color. I found these pretty orangery-red tulips in my flower stash and thought they would be just the right pop of color.

Entry 006

I love how it turned out. Hmmm, I wonder if I have any other mantel type shelves that need a decor make-over. And the best part? It was all free!

    I love everything about your mantle! The wreath. The jute pitcher and tree thing, the glass jars with rocks, THE PING PONG BALLS (totally going to copy those!). Everything. Great work!!!

    The tulips are just the right splash of color, you are right – not too much but enough to perk it up.

    LOVING the tulips. Great color contrast against the white.

    It looks great! I especially like the vase wrapped in twine!

    I LOVE this! That wreath is awesome and what a versatile piece that you could leave up all year. I have to try those twine wrapped vases; they look amazing. The pop of color in your flowers brings this arrangement from AWESOME to OUT OF THIS WORLD. Thanks for linking up this week to Shop The House Sunday!
