Mantel before

As you know, I have been in the middle of renovation, and it has taken a lot of work to go from basic to WOW! An area that was kind of a gray area in my decorating skill level was the mantel. I know height needs to come into play, and that the mantel can either help coordinate the room or it can basically spell out disaster. I went seeking a solution and was graciously offered to review Bella Marie topiaries. Topiary come in many different styles, from single ball to double ball even triple and this makes a difference depending what you are attempting to achieve.  If you want very few pieces adorning an area, bigger is better, if you want just an accent, a smaller topiary may be just the piece of room decor magic you never knew you needed!  When you shop Bella Marie you know you are getting quality and magical decor as each offering inspires and creates a whole new whimsical look in a room and creates a warmth! I like rooms that are welcoming, and say ‘hang out here’, and when you add the right accessories, decor pieces it can transition a room.  When I placed my Topiaries on the  mantel I knew I had pulled my room together and made it the perfect gathering spot.  The final touch of decorating are the pieces that pull the room together and Bella Marie can help you bring your rooms together!

We decided to paint the mantel a brilliant white, and accent the center panels with a creamy beige that matches our walls. This has offered a tie-in color to the cement mortar, and brick that adorn the fireplace. I wanted the WOW factor on my fire place mantel, and I wanted the mantel to contribute to the overall look of the room, not be more, not be less, but be complimentary. I achieved this, through Boxwood Topiaries from Bella Marie.

20″ DOUBLE BALL TOPIARIES FROM BELLA MARIE

The name Bella Marie conjures up the thoughts of beauty and what is delivered meets and exceeds all standards of beauty, so much so that I thought they were real! I am actually still in disbelief that these are artificial! The boxes came in and they were tied tight, and the topiaries were securely fastened. The topiaries were packaged with pink tissue. The gift beneath was incredible. I unwrapped a whole new mantel in just 2 boxes.

The ceramic bottoms hold the topiary. They are creamy beige with crackles of white.  The planters the topiary are in are distressed, white washed terra cotta pot. The The double ball topiary is 20″ tall and looks as real as can be(perhaps because it is real and preserved)! The mantel was not meant to take away from the room, but to accentuate the theme of the room. I am always careful to not overstate, and blending by visual ambiance is always a welcome experience. The topiaries offer a ‘light’ to the room, a livening and a new introduction of fresh green.  The maintenance of the topiaries, a simply mist of fresh water monthly to keep them brushed off and green is all it takes. The topiary is made with real boxwood, and needs to be preserved. Do not place it in direct sunlight. The topiary are made with real boxwood and preserved to maintain a lush green color and many years of enjoyment. The pots are secure bases for the topiary and are sure to grace any mantel, room, table, or shelf they grace.
