You know I couldn't leave it alone, right? I mean, it just wasn't me! Yeah, I'm talking about my summer mantel. I didn't want fill it up too much but it was just too bare.
I didn't go too overboard, I only added 2 jars of some sand, shells, and sea glass. I picked some up from Pottery Barn. I just loved the pretty shades of blue.
The sand and blue glass picks up on the colors of the painting.
I am still so in love with this painting that I got from the auction. It was well worth $32!
That bag of play sand I got from Home Depot has come in handy.
What do you think? Maybe it needs a little more tweaking?

Love it Tammy!! The picture is just lovely, I can see why you love it!!
ReplyDeleteYour mantel looks good to me with the recent additions. Welcoming and breezy for the next few months!
ReplyDeleteI like how you pulled colors from the painting. I'm always impressed with people who change things for the seasons. Maybe because we don't have noticeable seasons here, I don't think to do that. Either that, or I find something I like and don't want to mess with it. Hard for me to change some things. Bravo to you!
