Here it is people...my first mantel post! I'm actually not that great about switching out my mantel normally. I've had the same old tired candlesticks sitting up there for a dogs age, and quite frankly, I've gotten so used to them, I don't even notice they are there anymore. That's when we know it's REALLY time for a change! So, the plan is to ~update~ my mantel a little more often around here. I get so wrapped up in the BIG projects, the details often get lost on me. And, as a wise designer once said..."It's all in the details"!
The inspiration is summer, of course...but also a nod to the construction ongoing in my backyard. Can't wait to show you that post, but I do have a little preview below!
Voila....

And to the preview...
