Today I’m excited to be joining a group of over 30 other talented bloggers who are also sharing a Fall Mantel or Vignette with you!  A special thanks to my friend Krista at The Happy Housie for hosting this tour and getting us all together.  I created a blush pink glam fall mantel for the season and can’t wait to share it with you!

Our television hangs over our living room fireplace.  I didn’t thing I’d want that again, as I’ve had in a previous home, but as it turns out…it’s been perfect.  However, when it comes to decorating a mantel for the changing seasons, it can sometimes be tricky and make my options different than if I’d had a beautiful large mirror instead.

No worries, though.  I’ve found a way to decorate around it.

On the left side of the television, I kept a tall brass vase for height and also because I wanted to incorporate some gold tones with the blush tones.  I’ve found some beautiful blush glass pumpkins (as well as gold and silver pumpkins) over the years.  I grabbed a couple of them and added them to my mantel.

I placed a faux green leaf stem as a swag, coming from one pumpkin.

I happened to have some live eucalyptus from last week’s floral arrangement and thought it would be pretty to mix them into the faux greenery swag and then add some faux white and blush rose stems.

On the opposite end…

Remember these?

I decided to grab 2 of the 3 candle holders with the DIY Fall Glam Candle Wreaths that I made a couple of weeks ago and shared with all of you.  I left one of them on my buffet with something else.  I’ll update you on that later.

Adding a couple of more pretty glass pumpkins gave this mantel even more of a glamorous feel.

I liked the idea of just decorating from the ends of the mantel and not going all the way across.

I want to save the heavier decorating of the mantel for Christmas and keep this lighter but festive for fall and just the perfect touch of blush and glam!  What do you think?

The post Blush Pink Glam Fall Mantel appeared first on Summer Adams.

When we first moved into this home upon completion of the build last fall, we had the entire home painted the same color. It was easier that way and I truly didn’t know what I wanted for my office.  I finally put pieces together and revealed it in THIS POST.  It was lovely.  But something felt off….I knew what it was.  I needed to paint the walls a blush pink.  So I hired a painter and switched a few things up.  So here is my updated glam office reveal with blush pink walls.

Ok the “before” pics:

Again…it was lovely!  But if you know me and have followed me for a while….I LOVE PINK!!!!

Did you know I was actually born on National Pink Day?  Yep!  June 23rd and I just celebrated my 40th!  Ok, moving on….

The “after” pics:

The Blush Pink Paint Color I Chose:

I literally went through 15 samples of all shades of blush pink paint, of all different brands.  I went with my very first choice, oddly enough.  I found it at Lowe’s and it is called “Romance”, HGTV HOME by Sherwin Williams.  The code is: HGSW2067.
BUT!!!!  I had it mixed at 50%.
I did this with my other interior paint color throughout my home as well.

Even the ones that my friends swore by just didn’t look right in this office.  You have to remember that paint can look good on one wall but then if you put it on other walls in a different part of your home, it can look totally different. It might face the sun differently or the landscaping outside could have colors that reflect on the walls and make the color appearance vary as well.  The time of day, the interior decor, the season, etc.  There are so many factors.  So you just have to try different colors out and look at them in that space at different times of the day before making a decision.

There are 6 simple things I changed and updated for this office reveal.

ONE – Obviously, I painted the interior.

TWO – I swapped the desk and the cabinet and put them at the opposite sides of the room.  That way I could see my family coming and going easier and know what the kids are up to.

And if you watched my Instagram stories last month, I took out the middle leg because it didn’t do much but was an eye sore to look at.  Instead, I attached 2 small L-brackets to the wall and desk underneath for extra support and to keep it steady while working, typing, writing.

THREE -I added a gallery wall above the cabinet.

It took me FOREVER to figure out what I was doing here.  I looked at a ton of art but I have a lovely piece of canvas art on the other side of the room.  I already have a mirror.  I thought a gallery wall would be fun but I wanted it symmetrical and not too busy and cluttered or busy looking.  I also thought about a mood board but worried about the same previous dilemmas.

I included places of travel I love, fashion I love, and other pretty things.  The best part is that I can swap them out whenever I want.  Just like a mood board. I can frame things that inspire me.  I love that it’s symmetrical and clean-looking.

FOUR –  I swapped out my blush satin homemade curtains for pleated tab ivory curtains.

FIVE – I replaced the gold distressed mirror for a stunning venetian mirror.

SIX – I sold the infamous blush chair and found a new pretty one!

It physically pained me to sell my blush chair but blush on blush was not going to happen.  I was looking for something white and glam and the same style as the last one.  Remember….it looked like this…

So I looked and looked and I came across this sexy Hollywood Glam Tufted Acrylic White Club Chair from Decor Market.

They were kind enough to send it to me and help me get the look I had been envisioning for this space.  This is where my family comes in and sits and talks to me while I work.  Many memorable conversations happen right here and I love it.

Don’t you love those legs?!  This chair and mirror really took this sitting area to the next level and was even more sophisticated than the last.  I love it!  Please check out Decor Market for the most fabulous and affordable furniture!

Everything else stayed the same in the office!  The IKEA shelves, the office accessories, the art and sconces above my desk, the rug, the chandelier, round end table, and etagere end tables.  See my previous office blog post for any other details.

This darling BOW CHAIR has been a huge favorite of many viewers.  I sure love it too!
