The mantel always gives me a hard time. After countless trips up and down the steps for accessories, this is the end result.
I also did a vignette for the dining room. We enter our home through this room so I actually see and enjoy this spot several times a day.
I found the sea biscuit and shell to the right of it when Mama and I cleaned out her basement. The rest of the shells and star fish were in my stash.
It's fun to decorate with the seasons. Yesterday Phyllis Hoffman's Celebrate Fall arrived in the mail. I'm hiding it for at least a month because I'm in full summer mode and not quite ready for fall. Besides, it's been in the mid-90's here and who wants to think about fall when it's that stinking hot?
Have a great weekend!
Paula, I LOVE your room- just perfect! We're looking for a new home and I so want the welcoming, comforting feel you have

Since you spend a lot of time at the beach, I think this looks perfect for your home.
