Serious mantelpalooza happening over there. Lots of drooly inspiration. (Like this.)
But I couldn't link up. Cause I ain't got no mantel.
No mantel, no fireplace, no mantel to care for me
I'm so sad and lonely
Sad and lonely, sad and lonely
Won't some sweet mantel come and take a chance with me
Sad and lonesome all the time
Even on the beat, on the, on the beat
No mantel, no fireplace, no mantel to care for me
Baby I need some mantel love
I've had this fetching vintage drawer burning a hole in my bathroom. It was salvaged years ago from Larry's barn and loved back to life just in time to save me from my mantel coveting.
I wish I could tell you I meticulously planned its Christmas debut, but we both know that's not true.
And I love it.
I love it, in all its chippy, green, cheery perfection.
I love it next to the striped shower curtain.
After all, why should the living rooms get all the attention?
Show offs.
Chippy green perfection for sure : )
ReplyDeleteI love, love, LOVE it!
You always make me smile!
Sister, you better make sure that thing is securely attached to the wall because if I ever make it up there, I'm takin' it home with me! :-D
ReplyDeletei need your mantel song on my half-marathon training playlist. and i like your drawer. i really was so tempted to "accidentally" say drawers. because i'm like four years old.
ReplyDelete*sigh* chippy green paint.
ReplyDeleteAs if you weren't perfect enough already...
You are too cute and so is your chippy green shelf!
ReplyDeleteSwooniest! You do my dad proud! He would have so loved it.

ReplyDeleteOh, so sad. Me, too!! No mantel to love me. But I have a hutch and a buffet or two and they are decorated to the max for the holidays. Give us mantel-less ones some love!!
ReplyDeleteLove your post and your little green treasure!
Mantel in the bathroom. Gotta love it! I have a big, blank wall in my bathroom. Now if I could only find an old drawer...
ReplyDeletePerfect! I'd take that over a great mantel any day. Mantels are so expected.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the song too.
I love you. that is all.
ReplyDeleteLove it :-) also, that is my favorite mantel too. Obsessed.
ReplyDeleteYou've got a gift. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteShe sure has. Hands down, no questions asked. Quite disturbing. HAHA
DeleteI adore this. Such chippy goodness! Who needs a mantle? Considering I'm currently spending oodles of time in our bathroom at night nursing my new baby I can only wish I had a shelf so lovely to gaze at! :) where did you find the clean letters? They are my favorite part. I love a good set of Typography. :)

ReplyDeleteChew on it.

ReplyDeleteI ain't got one either.
I got a cute video a toddler sent me on my phone in which she sings, "no friends, no company, I'm so sad..." Your song reminded me of her!
ReplyDeleteI love your replacement for a mantle and the collection within.
A little larger pic with the striped curtain would have been okay, too ;)
Yes, I think a chippy green drawer/shelf wins hands down!! Very jealous of said green chippy shelf!
ReplyDeleteloving your chippy green fantle. you know that's what nester calls a fake mantle.
