I can hardly believe it is time to switch seasons soon! Summer is most definitely on the way – isn’t that fabulous!?! Flip flops and picnics, here I come!
I switched over my fireplace mantel decor today from spring to summer. I chose to use blues and yellows. I created a bunch of art to use on the mantel…please say HELLO YELLOW!
 |
| This is some art I created… I will share the tutorial this week with you so you can make this, too! Isn’t it fun? |
 |
| Oh yeah! |
 |
| Some more art I created with some paint, stencils and on a fabric canvas! Easy subway art! |
 |
The largest piece of chevron artwork is also one I created…so much better than it was in it’s original form:
 More on this later as well! |
 |
| This is simply an old window and some chalkboard paint |
 |
| The blue pails are yard sale finds |
 |
| Spray painted this baby, too |
 |
| Shells by the seashore |
 |
| Can’t wait for vacation this year! |
May your Memorial Day Weekend be filled with all your favorite summer pleasures!

That looks great! Definitely gets you in the summer spirit. I love the yellow- it adds the perfect touch.
Like what you did with updating the old picture and frame. Really nice chevron pattern there. I am your newest follower, just found you through the Newbie party!
Libby,
Thanks for your kind words! So many times I find a nice canvas with an old or ugly picture on it…why waste the canvas? I honestly will paint just about anything so this worked! Anything for the cause! Glad you found me here – nice to meet you!

visiting from running with glitter linky. I love the mantle! clever use of the chevrons! They remind me of waves!
I love the flip flop sign! I live in flip flops.
I need to put together my summer mantle. Right now it’s just my most recent thrift store finds – so random! Stopping by from the Homemaker on a Dime Party and Hop. I’m your newest follower 🙂 I’d love for you to stop by!
I love the ‘Sea Waves Sun Beach’ sign!
Thank you Sam!
I also am a fan of flippies. I love summer for the kids, too – no socks and shoes to worry about and being 100% sure the line is just right on the toe of the sock….and so on! Flip flops ROCK! Thanks for swinging by – glad to meet you. I am your newest follower on your blog and entered your lovely contest! thanks and have a blessed week!
