Our mantle naturally seems to get a change of decor with the seasons. I may be a little late with the Summer Mantle, but there’s nothing like a gift card to Kirkland’s to get your summer decor inspiration on! (And I’ll be excited to announce a GIVEAWAY to Kirkland’s opportunity for YOU tomorrow!)
Lucky for us there is a Kirkland’s not too far from our house, so after dinner out on Friday, the whole gang headed to Kirkland’s for some summer decor. On Saturday morning, I got busy changing out the Spring mantle for this new summer version.
As soon as I walked in the front door of Kirkland’s, I spotted this awesome pale aqua and white chevron vase. It was on sale for just $29.99! It set the tone for the entire mantle because I then picked up a package of vase filler cylinders in natural colors to go with it.
I ended up adding a few shells that I spray painted gold, and also added a touch of aqua and light blue spray paint to compliment the colors in the mantle.
I found the “Peace Love and Sandy Feet” painted block at Barnes & Noble last year. They have some similar blocks out this year with different sayings. I bet this would be a pretty easy DIY project.
The ombre candles are a Michaels find, which perch on top of clear glass candle holders.
And while I was at Kirkland’s picking out these new mantle pieces, I found this adorable pair of pillows with red coral on them. They are the perfect addition to our living room for the summer.
Tomorrow I’ll be announcing a
Kirkland’s GIVEAWAY,
so come back to enter!

The mantle looks great!! I am definitely going to Kirkland's today to see if they have that vase. And such a great idea spray painting the shells. Can I ask you who you got your curtains from? They are beautiful. Have a good day! – Mary

Love that chevron vase! I was just in Kirklands and didn't see it–I'll be going back:)
Oh, I love it! Looks pretty easy to re-create too. I have a very tiny thin mantle and I just have NO idea what to do with it.
I love that vase! Might have to make a trip to our Kirkland's today. Love the entire vignette.
So pretty! I love the vase! This is great inspiration for my, at the moment, blank mantle!

It's been a long time since I have been in a Kirkland's. Usually, I can find a lot of great stuff though. The chevron vase is very pretty.
Oh my I love that vase! Its perfect, color & design & all. The pillows are beautiful too. Your house is so be achy…do you live near the water? I forget what state you live in.
Love the idea of spray painting potpourri to match your current color scheme for summer! A great way to re-use a batch from fall…even blue pinecones would be cute! Thanks for the tip!
It looks so beutifull,love your house and you blog,
A viewer from Madeira Island that really admire what you do in your house.
Thanks for sharing

I love the colors. I seriously never would have though of spray painting sea shells. I think they are so pretty just the way they are, but you made them look great. The colors in your home look so comfortable and inviting.
Love it!!!!
