~ French Farmhouse Mantel ~


Hi friends ~ I hope your week is off to a great start
I just wanted to share with you some photos of some changes I've made to my mantel now that the season is changing





I love mixing textures and fabrics
First I layered two chippy white antique mirrors
 I displayed an antique french alarm clock with old french fabric boxes
zinc pots from Belgium with coffee berries and my new mercury glass candlesticks from Target I purchased last week (only $12.99-16.99 each).
Soon I will be adding some pumpkins..


Well that's my french farmhouse inspired mantel for now
I hope you all have a wonderful week
xo,
Rachel

    Ok....while I was reading your post and drooling over your photos, I found myself looking at my mantel and thinking...."blech!" Guess what I'll be doing this week...?? lol! You have such a special touch with your decor, Rachel. I still want you to wave your magic wand over my house as I keep attempting to make it look as JDA as possible. :)

    I love it. Your mantel is stunning! The candlesticks from Target look like they are vintage. They are so nice. I need to make a target run because I have seen a couple of other pretties on other blogs from Target! Apparently they have a farmhouse baking collection that is supposed to be *neat*
