CLASSIC CASUAL HOME CINDY HATTERSLEY DESIGN CRAZY-WONDERFUL MOST LOVELY THINGS DIMPLES AND TANGLES
I really had to put my design thinking cap on for this one! I have two mantels in my home, so I thought it only fitting to decorate both in different styles. My family room mantel sports a large television much to my chagrin, but that being said, there is still no reason not to make it pretty!
Because I love mixing old and new with a touch of nature my first mantel which is centered an old transferware container and hydrangeas from my front yard.

I took old grade school books of my now adult girls and folded the covers back exposing the spine, only two paper backs had their covers entirely removed. I happen to have a bag of thick ribbons that I have collected over the years and as luck would have it one matched the art quite well.
However, I still felt I needed and organic object so I threw an old antler next to the pumpkins that I had painted gold some time ago. The vases are actually Pottery Barn which I found last Fall season, they had me at "Hello"!
