We don't have a mantle handy here at the store to help you visualize different ideas, so we went and found one!
Here is a picture of the mantle with a few items that the homeowner was hoping to use on her mantle!
The girls did their magic and added a few new things, and this is what they came up with! First,they did a neutral look! Don't you love how classic this is!! Here's what they've added.......a print, a clock, and a decorative ball! That's all -simple huh?
Here's the same look with the candlesticks and vase switched............
Here are the girls doing what they do sooooooooo well!!
Next they took the same look and added some green accents to spice it up and make it more spring/summer friendly!
Of course, the Grandiflora Girls had to do more than one look! So here is the next look on it's way.........
The homeowner had the old books,decorative ball and the small pot with greens and flowers. The girls added the red pots with topiaries and the double prints. A totally different look on the same mantle.
Just to show another look, they had brought along a basket with grasses in it and replaced the green pot.
We have more "how to's" planned. Some of the upcoming ideas are: end tables, book shelves, and front porches. Be sure to keep checking the blog because you never know when the next "how to" will show up!
We are throwing around the idea of having decorating and "how to" evening classes for our customers. It would be a sign-up event with a small fee that you would receive back in a gift certificate to spend that night (and of course there would be chocolate!). Let us know what you think of this idea, would it be something you'd consider signing up for, what decorating glitches are you having, etc. I'm always up for a fun girls night out aren't you?!?!
Enjoy the sunshine this weekend, and maybe stop in to pick up a new plant or something fun for your flower beds!
