Creating beauty out of chaos one story at a time
I’ve already shown you my Halloween mantel (and I’ve actually changed it a bit since taking these pics), but the purpose of this post is to see YOURS!
Go ahead and link up your decorated Halloween mantel, faux mantel, shelf, windowsill, etc. below and let’s all be inspired by the cuteness…er…spookiness!
Happy Halloween! Be sure to enter The Rusted Chain Jewelry Giveaway if you haven’t already! Winner chosen tomorrow.
Hi everyone! My name is Beth and I am the one attempting to create beauty out of chaos around here! Sometimes I even create chaos out of beauty :). Either way, I love to share my DIY home stories with all of you! [Read More …]
Two years ago, I wrote a “Trend Alert” post on basket lighting and cage lighting. (You can see that post here.) And in that post I included this fabulous 5 basket chandelier which garnered the most attention. I found the image in an online wholesale catalog and several of you begged me to find out a retailer that sold the light. I even called the company and spoke with a representative that told me I would just have to search for shops that carried their products and that she couldn’t help me beyond that. Uh…okay. Several of you suggested that such a light could easily be diy’ed. Now, let’s fast forward to the present!

I love that candy corn garland!
Mine is the same as last year and I don't want to bore anyone. LOL!
My mantle is hard to get to for decorating right now (tons of furniture in front of it while the basement is being worked on!) But I did add my fall decorations if that is okay!
Thanks for hosting, Beth. Your mantel looks great. I love the candles and the candy corn garland.
Well, my link isn't very halloween-ish, but does it still count if it's a Fall theme?
Love the whole look! Makes me wish I had a mantel to decorate!!!
I still love your mantel. It looks great. I like the addition of the candy corn garland. Too cute! I linked up!
Okay, I linked up girlfriend! Mantle, shmantle!
Very fun! Love your mantel parties

I don't have a mantel to decorate, sniff, sniff. So I posted a pic of our buffet table decorations. There are so many great mantel shots here. I'm so missing the mantel from our last house. They are so fun to decorate for the holidays.
I especially love the candles, Beth. Thanks so much for hosting!

Hi Beth, Just discovered your blog! Love the mantel party. I'm following, can't wait to discover more!
heeyyy!
i'm here. i added your button to the post too. sorry my post is a little more then the mantel, but it's the only one i have that isn't attached to one of the old fall festivals link parties. i would never want to link up a link party – even if it's old.
gosh, these links look crazy good & fun. i think halloween is one of my favorites for a mantel outside of christmas.
have a great day sweet friend!

You're making me want a mantal!
I have built in shelves. And I have a high top entertainment center in our little house. You've inspired me to work on those.
But I do have mantal envy!!
Thanks for stopping by and for your kind comments. I just found your blog and link up today. I love it. Quite fortuitous, I'd say.
LOVE the candy corn garland! Wherever did you get it? And when do we see the new mantel arrangement? Thanks for hosting this party– I'm having a blast visiting so many new blogs.

Thanks for hosting this! This is the first time I have come across your blog and I am hooked! Loved checking out everyone's beautiful homes. Great job!
The candy corn garland is darling!

Thanks for hosting the fun party Beth. And I love, love, love your mantel. I did notice that you changed it up a bit. Looks good.
Your mantle parties are so much fun Beth!! I am so excited that you did a Halloween one. I can't wait to go through the links and see all of the spooky loveliness! Thanks for letting me link up!

Oh no! I'm a day too late! Thanks for hosting this though, lots of great inspiration!
Hey, Beth, what a great turnout. Just so you know, I'm going back & adding a link over here from my foyer post.
Hey girl! I just posted my house and hope you don't mind. I am too proud of it not to show it off. I will post my mantle/mantel soon, I promise!
Thanks for sharing.

Holey mantel Beth!! Lookit the turnout for this one! Nicely done! Are you going to have a fall one too?
Donna
Have you ever done a linky party for any other holidays? I would love to see mantles and decor for other holidays especially the ones coming up. This was a great idea. Thanks.
Wow, I’d love to do this… makes me wish I had a mantle, but alas, I don’t. Please check out my Spooky Window display from last Halloween.
