Simple, Rustic Mantle Art

I struggle so much with putting a mantle together because ours is so narrow., but when I found this crate for $1.00 a few weeks ago, I thought it might help me create the look I want.

I took a thrifted, oval frame and tossed the glass. I dry brushed white on it and sealed it with wax. Then I took a letter B that I had from my son's nursery and I sprayed it black. With the help of Gorilla Glue, I now have this on my mantle.



And here are the other items I recently picked up from yard sales and thrift shops!

I was drawn to this for some reason.


Coral for .25!!


Clock for $6.99


And the whole thing put together (I splurged on the ampersand at Target):
