Beach Inspired Mantel

July 15, 2013

With 4th of July being done I needed  new decor for my mantel.  I’ve enjoyed beach inspired decor so decided to try my hand at that theme.
I had fun putting it together.  I’ll show you what I did.  
On our camping trip a few weeks ago I found lots of fun pieces of drift wood and immediately saw this garland in my mind. 
I had a piece of wainscoting left from my Banquette Seating that I thought would look good on my mantel as a piece of DIY wall art.  I’ll show your how I made it in a step by step tutorial tomorrow.
Here I took a giant shell added some dirt and some succulents and created an interesting piece of aft for my mantel.
Here is a close up of the shell planted.  Isn’t it cute?
I then took one of my apothecary jars and filled it with sand and then added sea shells.  I also put some twine around the top of the jar to add a little texture.
I purchased these candlesticks at Goodwill.  They were the brass ones and I knew that’s NOT what I wanted so I gave them a quick coat of spray paint.  I found theses seashell spheres at Michael s on clearance and knew they would look so cute on the candlesticks,  I was able to buy them cheaper than it would be for me to make my own and saved a lot of time.
I’m enjoying my beach inspired mantel.  Simple! but meaningful.
Don’t forget to come back tomorrow to see a tutorial on how I made my garland and wall art.
