A Mantle For All Seasons

Let’s kick off my Southern Living at HOME Convention/Fall 2009 product party with tons of mantle ideas. WARNING: Lots of pictures follow! Remember you can click on each photo to see a larger view. Each picture has several fun, funky, or fresh ideas!

Summer Mantle

So much fun in one picture! I LOVE the NEW Drake Firefly Lanterns hanging with red ribbon. Those things are so cute I almost want to cry! And they are a GREAT price point – 2 for $29.95!

Loving the plates to dress up the surround and the painted board mounted to the back of the Cordova Fire Screen.

Fall Mantle

Love the depth and layering that are happening here (and yes, still loving the firefly lanterns!). Those new Gail Pittman Allegria Wall Tiles are very rich and perfect for fall.

On a side note – I was hugged and congratulated by Gail as I was walking off the stage from receiving an award. She is so talented as an artist, a leader and especially as a motivational speaker. Love her!

OOOhhh – getting so ready for FALL decor!

Christmas Mantle

So many great ideas to copy here! I will so be borrowing the tree idea. Can you guess what product those are crafted from? I’ll be sharing the details in my clever ideas post. And see that Cinnabar centerpiece? That’s not a new product – it’s a tidbit turned upside down with the vase on top!

Spring Mantle

Simple and Elegant Mantle

I know this picture is a little dark. The lighting wasn’t conducive to great pictures but it is probably my favorite look so I wanted to share anyway. I love all the layering that is going on here. I also like the balance – just enough symmetry for this type A gal but also lots of added depth and interest (and more firefly lanterns!).

Hope you have enjoyed the mantle tour. I’ll be posting more pictures throughout the week. What idea or product caught your eye the most? Please leave a comment and let me know what you think!

    Thank you so much for sharing all of this! I just adore your blog and SLAH, but could not attend convention this year bc it fell on my son’s 7th birthday. I am a new consultant and you have given me so many great ideas. I love your enthusiasm and congrats on your awesome magazine award and success!!!!

    I love the blue canisters in the “summer mantel” pictures. Are there only 2 or are there 3? Can you email me about a blog/catalog party? My mom just renovated her kitchen and wants brushed nickel stuff and y’all carry a lot of that now. I like the dark stuff. :)
