A Beachy Summer Mantel~

Because we are getting ready to move, I wanted to keep my summer mantel clean and simple.  I opted to go for a serene color palette of sand and white, and to use beachy details to give me that summer on the beach feeling.

I started by using the summer lanterns that I shared in this post.

Then I just added in my jar full of seashells, and a few starfish.

Really that's all there was to it.  I really like the understated look.  There's no doubt that it celebrates summer, however.  Nothing like seashells and starfish to create a summer-y statement. 

Linking up to Layla's  Summer Mantel Party.

Have a great day~
