One of the fun things about having a shop is being able to style different vignettes around the store. We picked up an antique fireplace mantel to use for display in the Makery, and I added some stag head decor and galvanized metal, with a touch of glitter.
At one point in time, it was probably a beautifully tall mantel, but someone had cut it down to use as a headboard, so it’s slightly shorter than a traditional mantel. In a store setting, that actually works really well for us for display. I have a thing for faux mantels.
I,of course,rubbed my greedy, little hands together, and jumped right into pulling a bunch of stuff from around the store, and putting together a mantel vignette. It’s a beautiful old mantel with some really lovely details.
I painted a pallet we had left over from a wood pallet painting class, and hung a piece of metal stag head decor on it. It looked slightly lonely by itself, so I hunted around the shop and found a giant, gold frame to hang it in.
I love how the rustic pallet wood is a nice contrast with the ornate gold frame.
We have these really beautiful faux magnolia leaf garlands, and I put those on the mantel. I love how they add a green, classic, winter look. I actually am slightly jealous of the states that can grow magnolia’s like that for real! Ours in the north aren’t nearly as lovely! When styling a mantel, I think it’s best to put the greenery on first, and then whatever is going on the mantel after. It’s much easier than trying to add it afterwards.
One each side of the mantel, I placed some faux boxwood topiaries, and some really pretty , glittery bottle-brush trees. Behind those, I propped some metal snowflakes we carry.
And then I stopped.
I love styling so much, that sometimes I can get carried away. I know the idea is for someone to buy it, and sometimes if it’s too over-styled, people don’t know if it’s for sale or not. Almost everything in our store is for sale, except the really big display pieces, and even then…. if the price is right!!! I will say though, I love having it in the Makery part of the store,and I love the metal stag head decor. It makes me feel like I’m sitting is someone’s home, and I want everyone else who comes here to feel that way too.
