Fireplace Makeover Part 2! Comment FIREPLACE for t Fireplace Makeover Part 2! Comment FIREPLACE for the supplies we used!🔥

When I say this design came to me in a dream I quite literally mean it haha it really came to me in my sleep. I had been thinking about how to make the overmantel work since the stone structure placement kind of made it more difficult.

Putting 2x4s up the wall allowed us to place the shiplap over the top part of the stone and took it out from the wall a little bit. Then Craig built the mantel over the existing stone one - which by the way was the worst mantel that ever existed. It was only about 3 inches deep, it was completely uneven, and it was tilted forward. So basically it was impossible to get anything to really stay on the mantel. Useless lol. Now I have a nice big mantel I can style and put up Christmas decorations and it just looks amazing. 

Overmantel paint color: @sherwinwilliams Worldly Gray
Mantel stain: Minwax Special Walnut

Obaku Denmark Watch Review & Giveaway

This post is sponsored through a partnership with Obaku.  All opinions are my own.

“Depth, strength, and elegance combined in an expression of simplicity.”

Those are the words used to describe the design and philosophy of Obaku Denmark watches.  I was sent two beautiful watches to review and share with you, and you will even have a chance to win your own below!

A little more about the watches and the design:

“Obaku takes its name from a branch of Zen philosophy and has created a universe characterized by a sense of calm, free from all superfluous details.”

Basically, the clean and simple design of the watches combined with the strong and durable craftsmanship makes these watches a must-have.  Also, because of the way the watches are both simple yet gorgeous, you can wear them with pretty much anything.  Dress them up or down easily!  You can read more about the watch specifications here.   I was sent the V158 model in gold and the V129 model in the gold & steel combo.  I really love the silver and gold combination look right now.  And you can never go wrong with some gold and a little Swarovski bling.



Our golden V158 with Swarovski elements ✨🙌🏼 #obakudenmark#feelthemoment#vsco#vscocam#watchporn#watches#watch#style#fashion#danishdesign

On the practical side, Obaku watches are all 3 or 5 ATM water resistant.  All watches are mounted with hardened mineral glass that has been strengthened to be highly crack resistant, and the batteries used are ecofriendly and help limit impack on the environment by being free or mercury and lead.

As for sizing, the watches have an adjustable mesh bracelet so you can choose your perfect fit. I like my watches to be a bit loose, personally!  You just use a small screwdriver (or something similar) to adjust the strap.   

If you want to stay in the loop with Obaku, check out their social media pages:

Instagram // Facebook 

Now on to the really exciting stuff!  Wanna win your own?  The exact V158 model that I have is up for grabs.  These Obaku watches can range in price between $150-$400+, so you will be getting something really nice! (also a great gift idea!!)

This would make a perfect holiday gift for a loved one (or for yourself of course!)  And there are various ways to earn more entries to win.

To enter (mandatory):

  1. Follow @obakudenmark and @bessh on Instagram
  2. Come back here and leave a comment saying that you followed both accounts and leave your instagram account handle so I can check!

For additional (optional) entries, do one or all of the below and come back and leave a comment here for each that you do:

  1. Repost my giveaway image on Instagram (seen below) and tag @obakudenmark and @bessh
  2. Share this blog post on any of your social media channels (leave link in comments)

The giveaway will end on Tuesday, December 8th at 12pm (noon) EST.  The winner will be selected by a random number generator.  Good luck!!

*PS: Giveaway only open to residents of the continental United States.  Puerto Rico, Hawaii, or Alaska residents are not eligible.

xo,

Bess
