Summer Mantel on the Porch

I know it isn't officially summer yet,   but I was ready to take down the spring vignette that was on the faux fireplace mantel on the front porch.

The inspiration for my summer mantle is a aqua birdhouse that I recently found at Hobby Lobby on sale.     Can you believe HL is getting rid of the summer stuff to make room for fall and Christmas!

Mr H can do anything and when I asked him to marry a birdhouse to a wood planter,    I had no sooner said it and it was done!

I wanted to decorate the porch this year with things that I love so you will see a real mix of decor this year!     

Metal buckets.......concrete birds.........

I stapled a Paris theme fabric to the doors on the fireplace.......wood bird house......metal birdhouse (on the left)......mosaic birdhouse on the mantel........

Cottage style banner......

 

I replaced my white wicker fireplace screen with a brass one    I wanted more brass on the porch since we hung the new brass chandy.......

See the brass chandy?     Have you notice the metal star hiding behind the big birdhouse?

Here is the flip side!

I have a few things out for the 4th of July already........

  

I have a quilt on the farm table and a centerpiece made in a chicken feeder.      At the far end of the porch you can see the umbrella I recovered with yard sale curtains...... 

And if you look real close .....at the end of the farm table is a sneak peek of the new patio furniture !    Be back soon with the reveal of the new furniture we bought for the patio.    I am so excited ......we haven't bought NEW patio furniture in about 15 years.
