Hi Sugarplum!

Summer Mantel

June 16, 2014

Hey there, friends! I hope you had a great weekend, and heaped lots of love on the dad-people in your life. Even though it was his day, Mr. Sugarplum still helped me with a few projects outside. My Home Depot Patio Challenge (it’s a refresh of last year’s makeover) is due this week, so we had a little sweat equity to put in this weekend. I can’t wait to show you the refreshed space in the coming weeks.

I know my Living Room has made multiple appearances on the blog lately, but with the replaccement rug breathing new life into the room, I find myself hanging out in the space a lot more. Well, that’s not entirely correct. ‘Hanging out’ indicates I’m relaxing…but in fact I’m zhushing…aka, being a rearranging busy-body. Which is pretty much my favorite pastime. The mantel was my latest victim.

Hi Sugarplum | Summer Mantel

Usually I keep it pretty basic, and stick with just the mantel, but I’m in a more-is-more phase, so I heaped it on and utilized the hearth, too.

I love the laid-back feeling of Summer, so I kept it casual by propping art, and using branches from the yard. Basically I did the opposite of my usual behavior, and didn’t over think it. #whataconcept

You dog-lovers wanted to know what Miss Maggie thought of the new rug….I think she likes it.

      Ha — I totally had to look it up…and my spell checker kept telling me it wasn't a word. But I disagree. 😉

    I love that this is so bright and summery, but not obnoxious looking 🙂 It's the perfect inspiration!

      That's a feat for me…since my stuff tends to teeter on the 'obnoxious' line! 🙂

    I love it! I love mixed elements like natural branches mixed with the classy gold finishes! Super pretty! I love your mirror too! Do you switch that out for different seasons?

    • hisugarplum says: June 17, 2014 at 7:01 pm

      Thanks Bekah! I love that mirror too, but don't really switch it up much. It's so heavy!!!

    May I ask where you bought the mirror from? I am obsessed!

      Hi Megan! I found the mirror at Home Goods, but had to give it a bit of a makeover…you can find that post linked above! xo
