I had a blast putting our summer mantel together…
thinking about what I love about summer
* BBQs
* Picnics
* Swimming
* Gardening
* Fireworks
* Camping
* Strawberry Pie
* S’mores
* Etc.
I wanted to incorporate some of these
{FUN}
Moments
into my
Summer Mantel
to the right of our fireplace, we have a little alcove/shelf area where I’ve added
my
favorite
phrase!
{my mom used to sing this song to us ALL THE TIME &
I sang it to my babies as I rocked them off to sleep too!}
you are my
SUN
SHINE!!
I’ve added a vintage metal cooler to the hearth area
just. for. fun
I used a vintage enamel pan as a magnet board
&
put up this sign…
rrrrrrrr
