Anywho, I have another For ME Friday post. A couple weeks ago my neighbor threw away this perfectly good shutter:
I am talking this bad boy had it's price tag on it still and was in perfect condition. It was also huge! The shutter was sitting by the garbage for a couple days before I was brave enough to take it back to my house...while taking Matthew on a walk so I had to tuck it under my arm while pushing the stroller and hoping no one saw me!
Anyways, I painted it white and distressed it with Brad's power sander. Very very easy! Brad attatched it to the wall above the mantel and I added some other randomly aquired Halloween/Fall themed items. Some items were from garage sales, some from the dollar store, and some were gifts from my mom over the years. I made the boo bunting last year for my Halloween party and thought it looked cute on the shutter.
I usually don't do a whole lot of decorating for holidays, but I like how this turned out and when I see it, it makes me happy! Now if I can just get the rest of the house in order...
Please be a fan of lil Mop Top on facebook!! I link up to these parties!
Love this mantle! I would love for you to link up to my Wickedly Creative Halloween Ideas Party.

ReplyDeleteI am not big on Halloween, but I adore your mantel. Its adorable. I like how it is a shabby chic Halloween theme ;)
ReplyDeleteI have a shelf that I usually decorate or should I say that I used to decorate on a regular basis. It is decorated now, but with just a simple candle..so I love your ideas...and I like how you places artificial colored leaves into the glass vase...wella! no flowers needed. I will be certain to check back for more inspirational decorating ideas! Thanks
