How to Decorate your Mantel for Summer
Well, I’m back again, changing my Mantle. This time I Decorated for Summer. I know, Summer is half over, but first I had my Memorial Day Mantle, then the Celebration Mantle for Andrew’s graduation and of course, the 4th of July Mantle. So, I’m just now changing it for Summer.
The Mantle is not the only place in the house that’s enjoying Summer. My Hoosier cabinet got a little Summer makeover too!
Once again, I’ve created a tutorial with a collage of pictures for you.
- I made this super cute pinwheel garland (look for directions on Wednesday)
- At one end I added a plastic sand pail
- And for balance, on the other end, 3 Aqua Mason Jars (my fave)
- I filled them with ivy and ornamental grass from the yard
- A bug catcher and jar of bubbles adds more whimsy
- And a Hawaiian lei to add even more color and texture
- At the other end, a Summer picture frame with a cute picture of Andrew when he was a toddler and a bright green Ice Cream glass
- A fun candle and pink placemat add more color
- And finally a pineapple candle holder and a Flip Flop bowl filled with squirt guns
Update: I posted the Pinwheel Garland Tutorial for you.

That is so fun! I love the bright colors. The pinwheels are so cute and it makes me want to hang out at your house with a lemonade!
Coming here from the Home May’d party!
I am still lovin’ those pinwheels! So cute and summery! All together it sure look lovely.
Love the pinwheel garland. I may just have to make myself one.
