I don’t usually do much for Valentine’s Day, as far as decor goes, but last year I actually did go ahead and tackle the Asymmetrical Mantel from Hell to create this simple valentine mantel. I love to use these chunky old wooden frames again and again. Behold the power of spray paint! Seriously, there isn’t much […]

White and Gold Rustic Holiday Mantel Decor
I am so behind in getting our home ready for the holidays! This year I’m going with a white and gold color scheme and I am really liking the simplicity of the neutral (yet sparkly) decor. I thought I’d share a bit of what I’ve managed to get done: my rustic white & gold holiday […]
A simple black & white Halloween Mantel
The mantel. That asymmetrical beast… that off-center design challenge… that quirky non-focal point of the room… ugh. I decided that rather than fight with it this year, I’m going for super simple and uncluttered. Just an easy black and white Halloween mantel. I tend to like a classic black, white and orange color scheme at […]
A simple Valentine’s Day mantel.
I wanted to show you what I came up with for a little Valentine’s Day display for my nemesis, the mantel. I have the worst time with the proportions of this room, but I’m fairly happy with this fun and simple Valentine’s Day Mantel. I don’t have anything against Valentine’s Day in particular, but I don’t […]
Quick changes for the Thanksgiving mantel. (Decor that does double duty)
I love to change up my mantel for the seasons. A way to do this quickly is to decorate using items that are easily interchangeable or are reversible. Double sided artwork and a little spray paint can make it happen in just a few minutes.
The Halloween Mantel. For now.
My mantel is soooo hard to decorate. It’s an asymmetrical wooden nightmare. I am still not happy with this, but it’ll do. I will probably continue to tweak it. I do like the sparkle of the mercury glass and silver, and I like the little ravens. I’m still very enamored of the Raven artwork I did last […]
Christmas Home Tour: Red and Black holiday decor.
OK, so I am a little bit bugged. For the first time in forever, my Christmas decor does not look the way I saw it in my head. Don’t get me wrong, I am still very happy with it, but it just isn’t exactly how I wanted it. Last January I received a swag bag […]
Halloween decor: setting the scene with candles.
I realize that we are still in the middle of September… but that doesn’t mean my thoughts aren’t elsewhere – like on Halloween. It is one of my favorite holidays and I am itching to start putting up my fall and Halloween decor. Sometimes, that starts with getting the house to smell more like fall, […]

Sunday Rewind: Fall Color Palettes
Southern California is having a heat wave this weekend, with temps 10 to 20 degrees about average. I have the A/C cranked up and am trying to get a little fall inspiration going around here. (Because in SoCal we have to manufacture seasons through decor…) I love the simple color palette of olive green, cream and brown […]
