Bottles and Driftwood Mantel

 Hello!  Happy Monday!

I hope all of you Mother’s had a Wonderful Mothers Day yesterday.

I sure did. I  Love my boy’s to pieces.  I think everyday being their Mommy is a celebration.

So remember myDriftwood SailboatI shared  in my last post HERE

Well I have it on my Mantel and I thought I’d share that with ya today.

But first I just wanted to mention that obviously my Sailboat is a Knock off.  I have been inspired by these beautiful handcrafted ones made by Whiteflower Farmhouse for such a long time.  And since my recent trip to the coast I thought I’d give it a shot.

But if you would like a sailboat too, definitely go check them out, if you haven’t already.

So I just kept my mantel really simple. I added a bunch of bottles,  a few pictures, some driftwood and a bucket full of snowballs.



 Here’s a mirror image from across the room.

 I filled my crate with the rest of the driftwood pieces I picked up.  Like I said, I plan to make another driftwood mirror.

 I also picked up the bucket on our trip as a Thank you gift to my mother in law for watching the boys.  I thought it was really cool because it has a little pocket with holes on the inside.  I’d never seen a bucket like this before.  When I gave it to my MIL she said, “oh cute a Mop Bucket” maybe not the best idea.  She also went home on a plane so there was not way of taking it with her. So I’ll have to bring it with me the next time we come down.  Anyway,  I think it looks adorable filled with some branches off my snowball bush.

Remember the story of the Marin?  and No I’m still not allowed to paint it white. 

I also made a few other changes to my living room.  I’ll show you those next time.

Have a Wonderful Week!

Emily
