4 WAYS TO STYLE YOUR MANTEL

fireplace mantel styling One of the many reasons I’ve been excited about moving into my new house is that I’ll finally have a fireplace and mantel.  I grew up with a fireplace at home and I’m glad that I’ll have my own to gather around with friends and also decorate.  I’ve been changing my mantel practically everyday because I’m changing my mind about the decor or am still figuring out where to put things in the house–but using this gold mirror as an anchor in each look.  I was inspired by The Maids to snap four of my favorite mantel-scapes (yes, I think I just invented that word!) that you can recreate in your home or apartment too.  No mantel?  No problem!  You can easily use these ideas for a shelf or counter.

The Minimalist

The mantel above is pretty sleek, focused on simple ceramic vases and a vintage-looking marquee light.  I like this look because its fresh, its modern, its a little hipster.  In general, I’m a neutrals girl when it comes to decor and prefer whites, cremes, and browns.  This mantel speaks to me!

The Green Thumbfireplace mantel styling

When I do add color to my decor, I like to aim for pops of green because it gives a vibrance to the home.  I added these little potted plants from The Sill, how cute are they?!  Decorative apples in a mercury glass bowl give a nice glam and lush touch, and this peaceful candle smells incredible.

The Girly Girl

The Classic Romantic

Which fireplace mantelscape is your favorite?  How often do you mix up your home decor to change the look of your space?

    My mantle could use some serious help (we’re shamelessly using it for small-item storage right now – yeesh!) I really like the 4th look – I think I could get away with that one. Once I clear everything off it, that is! 🙂

I waited to share putting my 2023 vision board tog I waited to share putting my 2023 vision board together until late January because there it’s so much buzz around the new year and goal setting around the start of the new year…but how about waiting until the buzz around it starts to fade? I’ve been committed since 12/31/2022 but if you need some fresh inspiration for 2023…here you go!

Last year I made a digital vision board in Canva with about 8 vague photos and I never looked at it. This year, I got a huge poster board and nearly 100 very specific images of the things I want. VERY specific. In the short 3 weeks having this propped up in my office and seeing it each day, I’m already seeing the needle moving on these items! 

Have you created a vision board or set goals for 2023? What doe is mean to you? How are you achieving your goals this year? #goalsetting #visionboard

Porch pirates no more! I’m ordering some great s Porch pirates no more! I’m ordering some great stuff for hosting and gifting this year and the last thing I need is it walking off my front porch. This season, to make sure my new silverware and champagne flutes make it to my holiday table for hosting, I’m having all of my Amazon orders delivered to my garage thanks to my @myQconnect Smart Garage Control and @AmazonKey. It’s awesome to be able to watch my delivery live from the myQ app when I’m not home to make sure my packages are secure and locked up when it’s all done. Cheers!

#AirbnbPartner One of the things that gives me the #AirbnbPartner One of the things that gives me the most joy is creating beautiful spaces that I get to share with others! SWIPE for before and afters!

I love the design process of coming up with a design in my mind and working to make it a reality for a beautiful escape to share. One question we get a lot is “how can I find a place of my own and get started hosting?” Thanks to @airbnb I’m excited to share that @airbnb is introducing opportunities for renters through Airbnb-friendly apartments. You can break into hosting by renting an Airbnb-friendly apartment where you can live full-time and host part-time. I love how this creates financial opportunity for those who rent to start their hosting journey in an easy-to-start way!
