I took a thrifted, oval frame and tossed the glass. I dry brushed white on it and sealed it with wax. Then I took a letter B that I had from my son's nursery and I sprayed it black. With the help of Gorilla Glue, I now have this on my mantle.
And here are the other items I recently picked up from yard sales and thrift shops!
I was drawn to this for some reason.
Coral for .25!!
Clock for $6.99
And the whole thing put together (I splurged on the ampersand at Target):

I love the crate! What a great idea to use that oval picture frame!
I love the simplistic rusticness of it!! Great job!
Love it! Nice finds too.
LOVE YOUR MANTLE!
it has a nice simple clean look to it!
Love the crate/frame/initial creation! Can't wait to try it myself.....
I love this! So creative!
Love what you did with the crate! I want one for my own, but with the letter Z. :) What a bargain on the cute clock, too!
All the elements put together look really nice, and I love the crate, very simple, plain colors and very elegant. Thank you for sharing.
Gorgeous! We have a real stone fireplace so I always like looking at mantels that are stone instead of painted.
Everything looks so lovely together!
Do you have any pictures on your blog of your mantel/fireplace from farther away? I'd love to see the whole thing.
I love it! Everything looks Fantastic, I love the framed "B". Great job!
ahhh, this is REALLY a cute look. You did an awesome job.
I am following both your Linky Friends and Google friends. Come by to see me when you can.

Came over from The Feathered Nest to see your mantel. You are the primitive princess - I love the rich texture of the pieces you chose!

What a great mantel! I love the rustic look and that crate was a great find! Happy to be new GFC follower. Saw you at Savvy Southern Style.
I love your creativity on your mantel.

I love this!! Thanks for Sharing!!
I love this look but just for kicks, group them all together closer in the middle and add some books under the clock for lift...it looks great but will be awesome done this other way!
I love this look! Great job! And what a steal of a deal to get the crate for $1!
Now I wish I had a mantel that I could adorn with my very own B in a box ...
Beautiful!

Great repurposed artwork! I also have a narrow mantel, so I know how hard it is to accessorize. In fact, I have nothing but an old clock on it right now. Shame on me! I love your idea.
Nice...looks great.
