Did anyone other than me wake up to ice and snow this morning?

brrrrrr

Around here today we’re looking ahead to warmer days.

35+ Home Décor Bloggers sharing Spring inspiration

It’s the perfect day for oohing and aahing and drooling over photos of Spring projects.

 

orange and yellow flowers for Spring Mantel

My Spring Mantel

My poor mantel has been half decorated since the first of February when I started on a Valentines mantel theme and never finished it.

 

Spring mantel ideas

It looks much better now.

I went out to the workshop, went through my stash of junk treasures, and came up with vintage door knobs, salt and pepper shakers, glass lamps, and other junky stuff to start the project.

The wonderful rusty metal grate thingie came from the Nashville Flea Market.

It’s perfect for the mantel because it has all those little holes that I can use to hang things.

I don’t need to drill holes in my brick, yea!

Since the bricks are multi-color it’s hard to find things to use on the mantel that aren’t too busy.

I can’t use anything with too much pattern but the metal backdrop helps.

 

flowers and vintage doors for Spring Mantel Decor

The vintage flower picture is usually hanging in what is known as “the granddaughters bedroom”.

I borrowed it.

I can’t remember where I bought the picture but you can bet it was a deal.

The yellow and orange flowers came from Michaels.

I did a little shopping after the Michaels Pinterest Party Smile

It’s nice having a stash of junk treasures to decorate with.

Do you pull things from around the house to decorate with or do you buy new stuff?

  1. Good Monday morning from the cloudy, rainy, generally yucky Lundy Gras land of the really Deep South. Can’t wait for the link party. Wish I knew how to do all the things necessary to participate. I’m working on it with my son trying to teach me. I have delayed development when it comes to technology. Just happy I know how to access your blog!

    • and yes ice a inch thick and it is still snowing here i am over winter way over it xx

  3. This looks so pretty, Kathy. I think we all are ready for spring!

  5. I have brick this same color surrounding fireplace. Have you ever considered painting? I am thinking of doing this when redoing family room. I know the object of brick is to be maintenance free, but in my case I am wondering if it would look better painted in a neutral shade or at least go over some
    of it with a light color to soften. I would appreciate your thoughts.

  6. Me, me, raising hand….me! We have ice and snow here today! So ready for SPRING!!!! Your decorations are so pretty!

    Happy day!
