Using Gold for Summer Mantels and #OURshelfie Game

Have you been following me on Instagram? I’ve been taking part in a 6 week Instagram decorating challenge where followers are challenged to decorate a shelf or mantel using the pre-set theme. The game is called…ready..#OURshelfies. Isn’t that just adorable!

This is the second week of the game and it is very easy to play. The theme this week is Gold. To play along you’ll need to follow my Instagram account (click here to follow) and the other great 20 co-hosts of the game. Then, simply post your picture of your mantel or shelf displaying your interpretation of the theme. Be sure to use the hashtag #OURshelfies so that we can see your entry. You have until 8pm EST Thursday to post your entry and we announce the winner of the game Friday. The winner gets featured on all 21 IG co-host accounts. We just added another great cohost!

Here are some inspirational mantels and shelfs with Gold in mind. Be sure to post your own mantels and shelfs on Instagram! It’s a fun time.

Here is a fabulous example of a Tropical mantel with gold by the Jungalow. The palm leaves really pump up this mantel. The gold and copper accents play wonderfully with the green plants.

You don’t have to make a tremendous statement with Gold. Sometimes you just need a little pop of gold like this Summer mantel by A Pop of Pretty.

On the other hand, you can have a very bold and colorful backdrop with gold accents. Check out this carnival summer themed mantel by DIY Show Off. The gold mirrors are so

Sometimes you will want gold to be the star of the show. Check out this beautifully styled shelf by Tiny SideKick. A simple white and gold theme is used with lovely green additions from the succulents and plants.

If you want even more gold, why not have the shelves be gold instead. These stunning gold shelves are by Ana Antunes from Home Styling.

Feeling motivated yet? Let’s see what you can do with the color gold. Snap a pic and post to Instagram. Don’t forget to follow my account and tag your picture with the hashtag #OURshelfies.

Thanks for stopping by my casa!
