Springtime Mantle

You may remember that I left you with a "reflection" of my spring~a~fied mantle...well today's the day you get to see! I'm excited! I have not really used yellow in the living room before, but it's so springy and vibrant, and so reflective of what is blooming right now, I just had to try! I didn't have a lot of yellow on hand, but I have been really tickled with how it looks!

White is really a staple in what I decorate with, but all I had for yellow were some lemons, tulips, and those cute little Peep bunny containers!

Have you seen these cute little bunny treat containers, so cute! OK, so they aren't the most tre chic accessory you can use, but they are fun to look at! :)

Last week, I photographed some daffodils, I printed them out here at home and framed them in a nice large frame. I really do love photography as art!

OK, now it's pulling together!

I leaned the frame on the mantle, overlapping the series of snapshots of the boys that I keep up all the time. The paper dogwoods (on branches) look really great in a tall white vase, if you haven't made these yet, you really must! I really love them!

I made extra blossoms and just laid them around on the mantle, a small bird nest too!

The white and yellow tulips are in a pretty glass apothecary jar, I just took the lid off. I love my wicker covered bottles, they add a lot of texture

On the far left you can see my Pottery Barn inspired ball finials, they do add a nice garden feel, and help counter-balance all the lines of the frames. I always try to use a nice balance of 'circles' and 'squares', makes it very pleasing to the eye.

Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you're inspired!

What colors are you incorporating in your home for spring?

Vist Marty!
