Updating My Fireplace Mantle Decor On A Budget!

Lots of us are doing a little home refresh in the new year and I am definitely one of them. I have been putting off some home projects for awhile and it’s time to get some things done around here! First, I’m starting small with updating my fireplace mantle decor on a budget, of course.

I love our fireplace because of the stone work but it can also feel really dark and heavy with too much mantle decor so I decided to go for a minimalist look with a little farmhouse style thrown in there.

Here is the before pic before updating my mantle decor:

I wanted to liven up the space with some greenery but bring in some textural elements. I also wanted to keep the color palette very neutral to match the Amazon curtains and balance out the very colorful array of kid’s toys that usually clutters our floors. Oh and I need it all to be on a budget. Seems easy, right?

I started with the biggest focal item which was this Amazon mirror. I loved the shape and the height it gives to the room. Next I added a basket with a tall pillow to give some height to the bottom along with a blanket. Then, I added some greenery to both the top and bottom of the mantle. Lastly, I added a magazine rack with birch logs and some candlesticks on the top. Simple, clean and doesn’t break the bank!

Here is the final updated mantle decor product:

Here are the items that I used to create this look:

Updating my fireplace mantle decor on a budget was a pretty simple task so now I’m ready to tackle another room. Stay tuned for my next project on a budget! In the meantime, check out some of my favorite finds of the day here:

Bestsellers of June!

My favorite blog post of the month, the bestsellers of June! I love looking back at the items that you loved the most. From the hundreds of items I have shared – below are the top 10 most popular, best selling, and most clicked on products from the month of June. All of these items are affordable and under $50!

1. Better Homes & Garden Indoor/Outdoor Rug (Walmart, $44 for 5 x 7)

This indoor/outdoor rug is my all time favorite. It is currently on rollback for $44 for a 5×7, which is pictured above on my patio. I also have the doormat size by my backdoor. The rug has held up extremely well in the rain so far. Also, the color is much more gray than pictured on the Walmart’s website!

2. Maxi Dress (Old Navy, $35)

Everyone went crazy for this floral maxi dress and for good reason. It is the perfect summer maxi and also comes in a white floral as well. It fits a tad big, I went down a size. The length is perfect for me at 5’4″, which almost never happens! I can’t recommend this dress enough but it does go in and out of stock in certain sizes so snag it when you can!

3. Eyelet Sleeve Tee (Express, $49)

I am a sucker for “fancy tee shirts” and this one is one of the best. I love the eyelet sleeve detail and casual slub knit material mixed together. This one runs true to size and can easily be dressed up or down. Also comes in a few other color options.

4. Sam Edelman Sandals (Walmart, $35)

I finally caved and bought these Sam Edelman look alike sandals to a much more expensive pair and I am so glad that I did. These suckers are so comfortable size up 1/2 a size) and literally match everything in my closet. Comes in tons of colors and are usually under $35.

5. Zip Up Hoodie (Walmart, $12)

This $12 zip up hoodie is perfect for all the casual days. It runs really small, so definitely size up 1 or 2. It comes in a few different color options and is the perfect lightweight hoodie to throw on when it’s cold or the AC is blasting.

6. Boho Top (Amazon, under $30)

This boho inspired Amazon top is so fun! I love this pink color but it also comes in white. Perfect paired with cut off jean shorts for summer. Its made of great material and is double lined.

7. Wirefree Bra (Amazon, under $30)

This wireless bra is a top seller every month. I bought this at the beginning of the quarantine as a comfy bra option and I never take it off now. It is wireless and bulge free. It is my go to bra under tight tanks because you can not see it. You also can see it through white tops which is a definite plus. Do yourself a favor and snag one of these, you will love it!

8. Distressed Denim Shorts (Walmart, $22)

I finally found a pair of distressed jean shorts that have good length to them and not too much distressing on the thigh. These have stretch to them and are not super tight around my thighs. Sizes are running out in these but they do come in a few different washes and styles.

9. Workout Leggings (Amazon, under $30)

These Amazon leggings are the best I have found. They are super high quality and so comfortable. The leggings are high waisted and come in different length options. I’m wearing the 7/8 version and they are the perfect length for me at 5’4″. Comes in tons of colors and patterns.

10. Swim Coverup (Amazon, $17)

I absolutely adore this coverup. It is a one size fits most and it super comfortable. Has a drawstring around the waist that you can cinch in. I love the wide straps at the top and the length is perfect. A definite winner!

And there is the top ten bestsellers of June! Be sure to follow along on Instragram for all my try ons, product reviews and random goodness! This post contains affliate links where I earn a small commission for items sold. Thanks for following along!

Target Spring Try On!

Target is killing it with the spring line that has just launched. I’m loving all the colors, styles and selection! Check out some of my favorites below!

For reference- I am 5’4″ and usually a size 2 or small.

$15 T-Shirt Dress

Dress / Jean Jacket / Sneaker / Bracelet

This dress is so comfy and cute. It does run big so if you are in between sizes I would size down! I am wearing the xs and have room. It is not overly short and I felt completely covered and comfortable. SO cute with a denim jacket and sneakers!

Navy Striped Jumpsuit

Jumpsuit / Sandals / Bracelet

This under $30 jumpsuit is a show stopper! It makes my legs look a mile long and is super flattering. I sized down to an xs in this one as well. It is the perfect length for heels or wedges on my 5’4″ frame but could work with lots of different heights!

Pink Pullover Jacket

Pullover / Long Sleeve Tee / Jeans / Sneakers

I am in love with the color of this $30 pullover for spring (or anytime) and the material on this one is insanely soft. I sized up to a MEDIUM for more length and it is perfect. Such a great spring staple with jeans and sneakers!

Striped Pajama Set

Pajama Top (could be work as a shirt too!) / Pajama Shorts / Pajama Bottoms

This pajama top could easily double as a plush tee and would look super cute with jeans as well. It is made from unbelievably soft material and is the perfect fit. Im wearing my normal size small and it is a relaxed fit. The striped shorts are unfortunately not online at this moment but I am tagging the same ones in a solid color, you’ll have to head in store to get the shorts. The coziest pajama set I own!

The Famous V-Neck Tee

The Best Tees / Jeans / Sneakers / Bracelet

These $8 tees are super popular and for great reason. They updated the neckline this year to be not quite as low and it is a thinner band that won’t get stretched out as easily. Buy these in all the colors and patterns because they are that good!
