Summery Mantel – version 2.0

Hello again! In yesterday’s post, I shared the pink flamingo mantel

I had worked on over the weekend and as mentioned,

wanted to share another version of a beachy mantel I had put together.

There are a few additions, like the palette sign you

can read about here, the giant clam (tutorial here) and the

most obvious change being the sunburst mirror.

I actually made this mirror months ago but am just not sure if

I like it or not. As you know, starburst mirrors hit their peek a couple of

years ago and have remained a classic staple in home décor.

I’m not one to jump on trends very easily. In fact, I try to

stay away from the ‘popular’, but once it became a classic,

I had to give a try. I think it works with the summer theme.

I have prepared a full tutorial and will have it available tomorrow.

Here is my inspiration photo from Horchow.

Very pretty, but outside my price point at $295.

I originally made the petals to face out, but didn’t like

how it looked, so I glued them facing in. You will be

surprised how easy it is to make and what I used to make it.

Hope to talk to you soon.

much love,
