Summer Mantel

I started in the bedroom this morning changing the mantels from spring to summer.    I also need to change the family room mantel and the formal dining room mantel from spring to summer.......but,   that's another day!

I don't do a complete change out on the mantel every time and for the bedroom mantel I left a lot of the existing decor and just added to it.

I took down the spring banner and replaced it with  a pretty summer one that has a touch of a Patriotic theme..

I printed a summer banner and backed it with a black and white stars and stripes pennant.     I tied all the banner pieces together with black and white buffalo check fabric strips.

I used a free banner printable from here.......http://thecottagemarket.com/2018/05/complete-free-printable-floral-banner-set.html

The black and white stars and strips pennant came from here........https://wingsofwhimsy.wordpress.com/2013/06/26/stars-n-stripes-gone-wild/

Andrea at the Cottage Market makes it so easy for you to create a custom banner.     The one I used has a complete set of letters so you can spell out whatever you want.

Now for a look at the mantel.......

I left all the existing wall decor in place,   but changed out the mantel a little bit.

I found a white enamel scale at Hobby Lobby the other day .......

I put my new scale in the center of the mantel and filled it with a small pickup and some floral accents......

I also replaced the bunny picture that I had on the right side of the mantel.....

The bunny was replaced with a black and white cow print......

I put away the bunny pillow that I had in the center of my bed......

   

The bunny was also replaced with a black and white cow........

The cow pillow cover can be found here.........https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077QPYQGZ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I found my Welcome and Closed sign at Michaels a while back,   but I noted that Hobby Lobby has the same one only smaller in stock now.

Well,   the bedroom is good to go now until it's time to decorate it for fall!
