Check out my Ocean Mantle // Before it gets changed out for 4th of July!



 I really enjoy creating and changing my mantle for each season and holiday. But the normal everyday mantel is always ocean themed. I love finding things to add to it. This collection just seems to grow over the years, so I when I revert back to a non-holiday, I can change it up every time put it back up. 

Starting from the left is my Octopus Chalk Art that I created a few weeks ago. I created this all with Chalk Couture Transfers and Chalk Paste. Check out the Blog post HERE! 

Next on the mantle is a starfish that I have had a really long time. I've used it in all of our house in some way. 

Moving to the next item is made with all Chalk Couture items. But the best part of this Chalk Paste is that it is a custom color. Can you guess how I made it? The Chalk Paste used was all the left over chalk paste mixed together from the Octopus Chalk Art. So the match perfect!

Then I added in the giant upper case wooden B that I found at Marshalls. 


In the middle of the mantle is this Beach sign that I made from Scrap wood and Chalk Couture a transfer and Chalk Paste. This was a great easy DIY project that I made in minutes.... yes minutes! I love projects like these! 

On the other side is another Star Fish that I have has forever as well. Can't ever have enough starfish! 


This large teal vintage looking whale is one of my favorite items that I own. I purchased it a few years ago. This whale is so heavy and fully made from wood. I first saw this at Marshalls but didn't want to pay the $25 price tag. I thought about this whale all the time. And when I went back to finally get it, it was gone! I was so upset that I missed out. Since Marshalls doesn't carry the same stock, I thought "that's it. I missed my opportunity. They a week to two later, while strolling through the aisles, there is was! My Whale!  I put that whale in my cart and she is all mine.  

Next to my whale is 2 vintage looking wooden buoys. I've has these for years and years and these are also a favorite of mine! I think I bought these at Home Goods.  These are also ready heavy and made completely out of wood. 


On the Left side bottom start with my Vintage looking wooded buoys with hooks. I bought these on clearance at Hobby Lobby. 

Right under is my rope buoy ball. I don't remember where I got this but I have also have had it for a while. My husband questioned me on this purchase.... I just laughed and told him it's party of the ocean decor. 

Next to that is the Vintage looking wooden painted blue anchor. I have had this for a long time and I'm not even sure where I got it.  


On the right side of my fireplace, I have this vintage bell. Im not sure if it even has anything to do with the ocean but once I saw it I fell in love. It has a very soft bell sound when swung around. I actually found this at a resort in my home town called Wine & Roses. I actually used to work there in the Spa as a Nail Technician. Wine & Roses has this amazing gift shop in the Spa called The Nest. It has great finds. While at the Spa one day for a massage, I saw this bell. I was there for quite a while, and then on one of my birthdays, my Mom surprised me and got it for me! 

Next to the bell is a small sign that I made. This was a fun easy- Sunshine is Favorite Color! Is was a quick 5 minute project - Click HERE to read the blog post! 
Here's a video on how I made it: 

The last item is this octopus wall art. We have had this since the Jackson street house. I bought it at Target 4-5 years ago.

My Valentines Day Mantel // Come check it out!

This year it took me quite a while to take down my Christmas decorations. I was just so done with the Holidays and I wasn't looking forward to putting everything away. I want to say it took me 3 weeks into January before everything was put away. So I was in no hurry to decorate for Valentines day. I was more excited to create my Valentines 3 Tiered Tray (Click to read all about it). 

I did have a few items that I was really excited to make from the Chalk Couture Winter Warm-Up Mini Launch. With 10 new Transfers, most Valentines related, I knew I could create some awesome items for my Mantel. Plus I have a few Valentines transfers from previous catalog launches, so I had my alot to pick from to create my mantel. 

Come check out my Mantel! 

Can you guess how many items I chalked on my Mantel? 

4! 

Lets start from left to right: 

1st item on the Mantel is the Tile that I added scrapbook paper with Modge Podge. Once that dried, I used the Confection Candy Hearts Transfer. This is a great and easy craft to do with anyone! 

2nd item is Large Magnetic Chalk Board that I found at Marshalls! This was a great find! and I knew that this would be great for the Wings to Fly Transfer. I used bright white and I loved how it turned out. Want to see how I made this: Click Here! 



3rd Item is small wooden light pink block that says "Kiss Me". This block came in a 3 piece set from the Dollar Spot at Target for $3!  

4th item is a Painted Wooden sign that I used the retired  Love Heart Transfer in Bright White Chalk Paste

5th item is a metal bike sign that I got at Hobby Lobby I think on clearance. It was just too cute to pass up! 



6th item is the 2nd Pink  "Love You" block from the 3 pack from the Dollar Spot at Target. 

7th item is a large pink heart from the Dollar Tree that I painted light pink. Then I used the Hugs and Kisses Transfer on the heart in Candy Apple Red Chalk Paste

8th item is a Red thick tag that says "XOXO" in white writing from Marshalls. 

9th item is an Red sign that says "I Love You'. I bought this sign at Marshalls years ago. On the edges is has small red hearts. 

10th item is the 3rd white block that says "Be Mine" from the 3 pack from the Dollar Spot at Target. 

11th item- The banner hanging below that says "Happy Valentines". Ive had this for a few years and got it from the Dollar Spot in Target. 

There you have my Valentines Day Mantel. 4 of the 11 items I made myself with Chalk Couture!

My Halloween Mantel - come take a look!

With every holiday, I change out my mantel for each one. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, so I always have enough decorations. With all the amazing Chalk Couture Transfers and products, I was able to create so many home decor items! The best part of the Fall/Halloween/Thanksgiving season is that yo can use most of your items the entire time! Just add in Halloween and then remove after its over! Most of the other items are good to go! 

I was able to create so many items this Halloween. There was alot that I didn't even know where to put. Maybe I should sell a few! I love to be creative and Chalk Couture really helps out! It's easy to use and can be used on virtually everything! That's the best part! 

I wan't sure if it was too crowded, but sometimes I would rather have too much that it be bare! The more the merrier I always say! With different heights and sizes of all the decor, I was able to fill the Mantel. I love to layer the banners too! Did you know that those banner are from Target's Dollar Section- just different years! I keep everything and I'm glad I do! I think they work well together! 

There is a very special piece on my mantel that holds lots of memories. Before my mother-in-law passed away 10 years ago, she collected Halloween decorations. He we able to get some of her decorations and when decorating with her stuff, we talk about her and her love for Halloween. But this year, we lost Auntie Vicki suddenly. With our Auntie Katie was done for a visit, I was showing her all the items from her sister and my mother-in-law, Carol, and how we decorated with them. When we came across to the Jim Shore Scarecrow, she told us that Auntie Vicki and given Carol the Scarecrow. Now that Scarecrow means even more to use knowing it was gifted to Carol. We miss and love them both, and can talk about then while decorating!

The best part is decorating with the family and taking about all the previous Halloweens. These are the days that I hope my kids talk about with their kids. 


Ready to see my Mantel?!? Check it out here!
