cottages and bungalows magazine feature!

decorating, inspiration

i am so thrilled that our fireplace and mantel are featured in the current issue of cottages and bungalows magazine.

you’ve got to pick up a copy at your local grocery store or bookshop, or online. it’s full of fun creative ideas.

for the mantel, i tore fabric into strips and hot-glued them to cone shaped foam in various sizes.

i picked fun colors to brighten up the room and make it cheery.

i also picked up some candlestick holders and small plates at our local $1 store. I glued them together and spray painted them white to look like vintage milk glass. they turned out so dang cute–and they only cost $2 each and make a big impact!

i hung a ‘merry’ banner across our thrifted mirror and hung stocking ornaments in the corner. it’s all so happy and fun it makes me want to skip thanksgiving all together. well almost, i love thanksgiving sweet potatoes.

today and tomorrow we are offering a special on our brand new stocking ornaments! use code stocking15 for 15%. such a keepsake–i love it! click here to shop.

and hop over to cottages and bungalows FB page and ‘like’ them. thank you cottages and bungalows!

    1. I used a quick dry adhesive and it didn’t hold up either. I’m thinking maybe museum wax would be the sturdiest!

  3. My daughters (11, 8, and 3) have been begging to make these since they saw the picture. We finally made them and WOW! They exceeded my expectations! Thank you from all of us! Dear hubby hasn’t had any yet but I’m sure he will attempt to divorce me and find you once he taste them

  6. Lisa, you are so creative – this is fabulous! I’m a big dummy and scrolled through the pictures first, before I realized that it’s actually *your* mantle they featured. Where did you get the cone shaped foam?

  11. Hi Lisa-Congrats on the feature. I bought a copy when they featured your bathroom-will have to go get one this month as well. I started following you when you gave us those adorable necklaces at the first Creative Connection and have purchased a few necklaces for relatives. I may need to get that ornament for a new baby I know! Congratulations again. Tricia Mueller

  20. WOW congratulations!
    Can you please tell me how you paint glass? I have some Ginger lamps I would like to paint. Do you use a special paint? Do you get runs?
    I have googled this and didn’t find any answers.

    Thank you!
