A LIGHTER MANTLE FOR THE SUMMER MONTHS



I have to tell you decorating the mantle is always very hard for me. 
Through out the years, there has been many times when I just gave up and put it back the way it was.

This time around, I decided to make my life easier and just use what I already had at home,  
so I did not spend any money at all and there was no stress involved. :)


 With a little paint and using different flowers from my stash, I was able to make it all come together.
I will show you in some other post how I changed the look of the items I already had.




I also reused the set of jars and the lantern my kids bought for me last year.








And the white pots from Dollar Tree decorated with a garden ball.









As you can see, it is very simple. What do you think?
I also gave the rest of the family room a little update, so I will be sharing those changes with you on my next post.

I hope your week is going well so far and I thank you all for visiting and linking to Tuesdays at Our Home.
See you soon!

FEATURES FROM TUESDAYS AT OUR HOME #60


Happy Friday!
It has been a busy week for our family, so we are all ready for the weekend. :)
 
Today, I would like to highlight the features from this week's party.

Gail from Purple Hues and Me  saw a gorgeous outdoor pillow in a catalog and she made it for her porch. 
I have to say, I am so impressed! 
This is not a pillow, it is a work of art. Beautiful!
 



Cathy from Our Mini Family transformed a tabletop shelf she found at goodwill for a $1.99 
into a beautiful piece for her home.



Christine from Little Brags shared how she created a very nice outdoor area with some new 
Adirondack chairs she bought at World Market.




Fabby from Fabby's Living put together a gorgeous Mother's Day tablescape.
Amazing inspiration! Well done, Fabby!


Jody from Southern Seazons shared her beautiful Tuscan dinning room.
All the details are so pretty!
 



Debbie from Painted Therapy found a way of making a garden for her daughter on limited space.
This project is so pretty and original. Great post!

MEET MY NEW DINNING CHAIRS :)


Hello, everyone!
Just a quick post today to "show off" my new dinning room chairs.
Aren't they pretty?
Forgive my excitement, you see, I have been waiting for a loooong while for this. LOL
 


We have searched everywhere for a dinning set we both liked, but for the first time in our married life, 
we could not agree. We both had different visions, so we put those visions together and decided to purchase 
all the dinning room furniture separate.
We just received the chairs last week and the table is next. Yay!

The chairs are a 100% off white natural linen and they come already with fabric protection added to them.




Love the tuffed backs!


Since the living and dinning room are all an open space, we went with the espresso stained legs 
to compliment our living room end tables.



 

We are very happy with our purchase. The chairs are really big in person, and very sturdy and well made.
Finally this room will start coming together very soon.

Thank you all for stopping by.
See you soon!
