Something Fun…

allie • Jul 22, 2012

I need a little diversion, and while I’m working on things for Whimsy, I thought I’d show you some changes happening over here.  They happened a while ago actually but I’m finally getting to them now:)

I had bought a mantle that I loved on an online auction about 4 months ago.  If you remember correctly I was using a large shelf for a mantle previously until we could find something different.  Here is what the mantle shelf looked like before..

not 100% awful…it did the trick for a few months. But remember my inspiration picture I had, the mantle that looked like this..

New paragraph

Isn’t she pretty:) When we bought it, it was about a foot too long so Ryan and his dad cut a foot out and re-glued it back together. Not bad, especially for the price. We also have to finish the trim work around the fireplace and baseboards. I think I’ve talked him into at least letting me put some crown around the fireplace as well:) Good guy too!

I had fun decorating her and kept her sweet and simple for now. Not gonna lie and say I can’t wait to glitz her up for Christmas:) I got the big galvanized “L” on a site called Pick Your Plum They have one deal a day and when they sell out they are gone. This guy was only $8, a steal for what I’ve seen them sell for.

My other love are these sconces I got for my birthday. I sweet talked Ry into wiring in some extra wire that he zig zagged behind the sheet rock before we closed her up. So once I had the lights he could just cut a hole through and find the wires. He does love me:)

Love the chunkiness

and one last close up just for fun. The next purchase is going to be a rug for this area so we can cozy up in front of the fireplace this fall and sip come chai and hot chocolate:) Kinda gets me excited on these 95 degree days!

I’m heading back out to the shed to sweat a few more pounds off and finish up a couple of dressers for the sale.  Have I mentioned how much stuff we have? It’s gonna be fun…hope to see you there!  If you want to follow Whimsy Green’s status, like us on Whimsy’s Green’s Facebook page :)
