Did you have a good weekend?
I hope so!
My Blue September Mantel is my new favorite thing to look at in my house…
(besides Miss L dancing to the theme song of Curious George…that’s hilarious.)
To add some height to my little spray painted owls, I decided to rip the covers off of old books (bought for 50 cents each at Goodwill).
1. I grabbed books that looked a little old and yellowish…and like they would be fantastic reads if I ever got stuck in my house for days and had nothing else to read.
2. I grabbed one side of the cover and just rippppped.
3. I pulled off any extra binding that I didn’t want on the book off.
4. Tada! A super-easy (super-cheap) décor treasure!
I really do love this mantel…
and I really love this book cover.
I think I’ll keep it.
😉
Have a great day!
Great idea! They really do work so well with the mantel! Beautiful!

Thanks, Abby! I am already trying to figure out where else I can use them! 🙂
They look so much better now especially on your mantel- you should totally frame those book covers- LOL So funny!

Ha! They really are frame worthy! 🙂
Your mantel is beautiful! And what a great tip about those books….
