Fun Summer Fireplace Decor in the Family Room


H looked at me like I was crazy when I asked him if he would dig out my old white bicycle!     Are you going to ride it...he asked.         Of course not.....I need it in a vignette I'm doing in front of the family room fireplace.   H should get a medal for putting up with my craziness all these years....lol!

I filled the mantle with summer roses......and a yard long rose print
Dressed my bicycle up with lace handle bar streamers ..

I turned a vintage birdcage upside down to make a basket for my little pink owl to ride in

Should we have a "picnic style" lunch on the coffee table today?

I put a nosegay on each  bicycle wheel....

I thought about making a  cover for my bicycle seat,  but I really like the rusty look

I have added art pieces around the family room to give a feel of "Art in the Park"

  Here's a link to the other side of the room where I have another  art display   http://penny-pennystreasures.blogspot.com/2016/05/open-furniture-arrangement-for-summer.html


Next to the bicycle,   I have a picnic basket 

Maybe we'll spread out a blanket and have an indoor picnic in front of our summer fireplace

WHAAAAT????????  

 Just a little fun playing with my photo's on PicMonkey

I love the new summer look in the family room!

    Penny, the bicycle in front of the fireplace is beautiful! And what a genius way to dress it up for summer. I always love to see you seasonal designs. Thanks for linking up at Inspiration Thursday tonight!

    Penny,
    Very pretty!! Love the bike! But I would not want to sit on the seat and ride it!! LOL! Love the rusty seat from a decorating point of view though!!
    The upside down birdcage is a great idea. I have been a bit under the weather lately. Hopefully, if the sun ever comes out, I will feel better....
    Hugs,
    Deb
