Hello Everyone!
Are you ready for spring? I know I am. I have been adding spring around the house for the past few weeks and just finished the mantel...
I was not sure what I wanted to do on the mantle this spring. While I was in Dallas last week I came across the flower/butterfly pictures and bought them because they were such a great price. I was not sure where I was going to put them but they ended up looking best here on the mantel and really brightened it up.
I found the basket candle holders at Hobby Lobby. They are actually made out of resin and are made to look like a basket. I like the texture they add to the mantel.
Since I have a plug right at the base of the pictures I had to find a way to cover it. I ended up making a simple arrangement with birds, greenery and nests.
I also made the arrangements on each side of the pictures. I love the tulips!
I found the blue vases and gold scroll over the pictures at Hobby Lobby too. I ended up adding some paint to them to bring out the designs.
More spring pictures to come soon! Have a great week!
Oh everything looks gorgeous. Your flowers are so pretty and I love the pictures too. Hugs, Marty
