mantle peonies

 The sweet short peonies 'season' is here in Southern California...

 when I rush to fill my mantle urns to the brim with peonies....

I did a break down of the process here.

 this year my summer living room 'art' was made by

wrapping my huge canvas with a striped tablecloth...

and then adding a rug over the top...for a bold graphic punch

this makes for a great summer background that easily converts for the fourth decor...
(I did a fast and easy 4th of July mantle post here)

and
carries on into the height of summer

by simply changing out my urns

wishing you love and joy

as you style your life
