spring mantel tweaking

Spring makes me want to lighten and brighten things up in my home.  It’s the time of year when I really go for that whole less is more look.  I gave the mantel a fresh spring look without reinventing the wheel.  I basically used the same set-up I had up here before with just a few little tweaks to give it a simple spring look.

You can go back and take a look at the Valentine mantel I threw together last month.  You’ll see that for this spring mantel all I really did was change White Beauty’s scarf from a red winter plaid to a sheer light cream with pom poms.  The only other change was to bring in some trophy cups.  Since spring in Kentucky means derby and I clearly dig an equestrian look it just feels right to go ahead an get a little theme-y.  😉

A grouping of glass jars is such a simple way to let one inexpensive bunch of flowers really shine.  Plus  just by changing the flowers you have a whole new look.

  • Love! I have a big ole empty mantel staring at me everyday. I threw together something at Christmas but it was very underwhelming. I've seen many of your mantels and I just need to knock it out. I will be searching through the archives to find inspiration for my basic purchases.
