Since we have been stuck in the house for the last several months, I find myself wanting to have pretty spaces outside.  We have, of course, been working on our camper and sprucing up our backyard.  And coming soon is the front porch makeover. WooHoo!  I’m so excited about that one. Anyways, I was online […]

I could hardly wait to share my May fireplace mantel idea with you. If you are new here, I share a fireplace mantel idea every month.   I didn’t have a mantel for so long and have loved coming up with new ideas.  If you want to see some of my past styles, search FIREPLACE MANTEL […]

  If you are new here to this little space, I try to give you a fireplace mantel idea every month.  I haven’t been able to decorate a fireplace for years.  We had our television above it the last two homes.  So, I’m having so much fun switching this one out every month.  If you […]
