We like to think that we live in a swanky, luxurious,
grown-up apartment. We sort of do (thanks to our budget friendly DIY and
decorating savvy), but some of the true built in futures (like a fireplace with
a mantle) are missing from our college student apartment.
Never fear though – free shelves are always near! Okay,
maybe not always, and maybe not for everyone. This is the second floating shelf
that Allison got from a friend who was moving out of her apartment. The other
one displays Chelsea’s “Antiques” sign in her room.

Anyway, this spare floating shelf has become our makeshift
mantle. You really can’t beat free either! We’ve been able to decorate for the
seasons and holidays on our new mantle.

Our current mantle “wardrobe” consists of a milk glass
candlestick (a la Goodwill $2.99), mini pewter vases (scored at a sidewalk sale
for a buck a piece in GA), green beer bottles (this is college), and a fancy LIVE
sign from TarJay (CLEARANCE $3.74 instead of $15!), and finally the flowers are
from Dollar Tree.
We’ve missed you all and promise that you’ll be hearing from
us more in the near future! We’re about to be college graduates!!!!!
Mantleous Love
