Decorating the Foyer Mantle
Thursday, July 21, 2011
Hello!
I hope everyone is having a great week so far. It seems like I have one crazy week after another but I wanted to put a quick post together to show what I’ve been working on. The other day I went shopping around my own home in hopes to find something to decorate the shelf in the foyer.
Here’s what I came up with…..
It’s not much, just a few odds and end pieces that weren’t currently being used anywhere else in the house. I have to laugh at myself because I always buy two of everything. I tend to decorate with symmetry. I’ve been telling myself that I need to break away and give asymmetrical design a try.
The tall candle stick I did purchase a few weeks ago at Home Goods and the tassel is from Hobby Lobby. The urns and sconces I purchased years ago from a local store that is no longer in business, and the faux wood carving is from Christopher Lowell bought at Burlington Coat Factory.
My Photoshop skills are still very limited but I hope you get the idea. I would like to add some faux topiaries to each side of the window. Oh, and possibly up lights placed behind them. I have been searching online but you know the thing about faux plants…. is that they very so much in quality.
It’s a start…. and I’m sure I will have a more exciting mantle display come fall and Christmas. Have the best day ever!
