Spring Fireplace Mantle

My fireplace mantle is not new to the blog. I have posted about it's decor possibilities for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Now that spring has figuratively sprung (despite all the snow on the ground), we needed a cheery display. A television is now mounted to the wall, which creates a new challenge for a pretty display. Here is what I came up with, sticking to a fresh white, blue, green, and gold color scheme.


The right side has the ever present birdcage to hide the DVD player, with a white porcelain bird, fresh green plant in a bright white pot, and 2 brass candlesticks.


A long twig-y candle holder sits under the TV with green and blue fake floral accents.

  

On the left side is a large blue vase with very real looking fake hydrangeas (thanks Hobby Lobby!), a large intricate brass candlestick, and a small brass candlestick and two white birds to match the right side.  To add height, I have some twisty branches and old windows behind the display. The blue vase got a huge jagged hole in the back when filling it with rocks. Super sad, but I put a piece of clear packing tape over it to keep everything in.


Yay Spring!

I have a few fun projects coming up: a homemade shower curtain, bedroom wall painting, art collage wall, and chalkboard cupboard. Pictures will be posted soon!
