~ Summer Fireplace Mantel ~

Hubster off playing golf so a bit of alone time to decorate
the fireplace mantel for summer.

Decorated Mantel

The architectural piece is part of a wooden gable piece
I used to build an arbor in our garden.
  
I will show you the arbor in another post soon.

Decorated Mantel

I love the open spaces from the missing wooden parts.

The dried hydrangeas came from my garden.
I used them to cover up the lamp cords.

I hope you like my summer mantel!

    Hi, I've been a follower of yours and apologize for not commenting, but I wanted to tell you that that mantle display is gorgeous. I love the architectural gable piece (just as it is). Those are hard to find. The use of the dried hydrangeas is great.

    I like your idea of covering cord with dried hydrangeas. Your mantel looks really gorgeous.
