All American Mantel

So glad you stopped by today for Thinking Out Loud Thursday!  Our mantel got a makeover this week and that's what I'm thinking out loud about today.

Last year we were getting ready for vacation over the Fourth of July so I didn't get out a single holiday decoration.  I didn't want that to happen again this year!  This week we transformed our mantel to an All-American theme worthy of patriotic bliss.

This year I was wanting something new to decorate with, so one stop by Hobby Lobby and I found some new treasures.  Three signs and a new vase quickly went into my cart and the new look was born.

Some of our old decorations made the cut to reappear.  The bunting banner has been around for years and is still hanging in there.

We have a whole collection of Uncle Sams.  A couple made their way to the mantel.

The candlesticks stayed from our Spring decorations and we added the wooden fireworks to finish off that side of the mantel.

We are ready for the fireworks!  I'm pretty happy how the mantel turned out and I'm excited to show you our tiered-tray.  It got a Fourth of July makeover too!  I'll be sharing it soon.

Now it's your turn.  What are you thinking out loud about today?  Link up and share!

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!
