Hi everyone! My name is Beth and I am the one attempting to create beauty out of chaos around here! Sometimes I even create chaos out of beauty :). Either way, I love to share my DIY home stories with all of you! [Read More …]
Yes she is my big sister, but even if she weren’t I’d still be inspired by her laundry room makeover!…

Slipcovering Your Mantel and More
August 3, 2010
I have no idea how I let this get away from me, but I did. I somehow forgot to highlight my favorite vignettes and mantels from the “recent” linky party and you all so deserve the recognition so let’s get started!
I was drooling over this “slipcovered” fireplace makeover. You have to see the before and afters of this incredibly creative and thrifty redo. (And by the way, if you aren’t familiar yet with Michelle@Sweet Something Designs my guess is that won’t last long. She is a rising blogista and has some amazing inspiration on her site. Be sure to set aside some time to say awhile!)
When I used to throw mantel parties each week, I found out many of you don’t have a mantel in sight! This didn’t stop Erin@Little Apartment on the Prairie from fulfilling her mantel fantasies. Amazing! Go learn how she built this and get the courage to build your own.
Kate@Centsational Girl never disappoints and her summer mantel is no exception. She is one talented lady!
Kim@Starshine Chic is a faithful mantel and vignette linkier here. I call her the Queen of Vignettes. Check her out and see why!
Erin@Decor Allure created a foyer mantel! Never has an area for shoes looked cuter!
Marianne@Songbird is another vignette genius. She is the master of using whites with pops of color and great texture. I think the single-standing tealight in this mix is brilliant!
And does Layla’s mantel really need an introduction? No. It does not. It is magazine-worthy fabulousness at it’s crafty and thrifty best. This is why Layla is Layla and why we love her so! Sigh. Perfection.
I suggested that Layla host the next mantel party for us in the fall! Be on the lookout!

Wow! I am in love with all of these!! My mantel needs help and I just got a billion new ideas! Thanks Beth! And Thank You to all of the ladies who just inspired me!
Oh, I love all of these beautiful mantels! Thank you for sharing them. They give me hope…and inspiration…our mantel/fireplace area is only half completed as of now. (Better than it was when we moved here, but still not all that I envision!)
Beth,
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the new look. Cleaner, leaner, crisper. Really, I do love it. It's like a crisp clean beach cottage.
Oh and see you tonight!
Absolutely lovely mantels. Thanks for sharing those.

Layla's mantel colors are so soothing.
Beautiful mantels! I know all those girls are happy to make it to your list of faves!
You've got me thinking my mantel needs a bit of a face lift. I better get going so I can be part of the party in the fall.
