So, I was gonna just pull out my usual summer mantel decor, but then I decided to create something completely different! I spotted this great rug at a local shop in town and thought, "Hey, I remember seeing a tutorial out on the web for a wall hanging using a woven rug!" I just loved this rug, and at 30 bucks, I was sold! If you are interested in steps to create something like this, check out this tutorial here. I already had all the yarn I needed to get started and it all coordinates with my summer pillow covers:
It took a few days to create. I made a final trip to purchase a cheap curtain rod and some Command hooks to hang it temporarily since I change the mantel so often. ALSO, I needed my tall Hubby to help me hang it (#shortgirlissues). I love it!
It looks great with a collection of white vases and items from around the house and it coordinates very well with the pillow covers and area rug...
After taking all these pictures of the living room, I now realize that the crewel-work drapes need to be changed for summer. Another project! ;-)
You may have noticed my posts have been lighter lately. Gearing up for our annual conference has been lots of work, but I will be back full strength after that!
Have a great weekend Everyone!
Cheers!
