You know me.. I’m am a little bit OBSESSED with seasonal mantels and today I’m brainstorming for Memorial day. 

Last June I also rounded up these 15 Patriotic Mantels if a dozen isn’t enough:


This year I’m thinking of using my paper straw American Flag, and I’ll probably create another reclaimed wood sign (since I seem to be a one trick pony!)

I have used this Pottery Barn Knock-Off Beadboard version for a while now, and it is time to change it up!

Most people make flags, but I want something different.  I am loving this star artwork from Sweet Rose Studio:

Lastly, I know I said “no flags” but this etsy listing is so fabulous I may ignore my own rule.

I'd love to hear any ideas you have!
