Summer Mantel 2015 with Beach/Coastal Flair

Hello, hello!
Is there anyone out here?
(I sound like a Pink Floyd song!)

My goodness, I've been lost to blogland for way too long!
But, I'm back and I'm glad of that.

I hope that it has been a great Summer for everyone, so far.

Let's take a look around today...the Mantel & Living Room are set for Summer.
I went a little beachy/coastal in my decor.



I found this postage stamp sign @ Home Goods and fell in love with it!
The rest of the room was decorated around that sign.  


I had to spread the "blue" love around by making some pillows
and adding blue here & there.


The coffee table got a little nautical treatment,


as did the shelves of the entertainment center.



I love this light & airy feel for Summer!


Have an excellent day and stay cool!

  16. I love the summer decor in your room! I have been drawn to that look lately too but have been working to add some fun to our beach house, that is not on the beach but in a town on the ocean. It has been fun so far and your room has given me some great ideas.

  21. Your entire room looks so nice, Gina! The mantel with that adorable sign and the other beachy things here and there are all so charming. But the thing that really caught my eye was the cute little polka dot plate. It's adorable, light, fun and kind of a surprise in that "icing on the cake" kind of way. Happy summer!
