Spring Mantel

Hi friends! We are back with another spring post. We are so excited about a new change of seasons- one of the best things about living in the northeast. It was sunny and warmer on Saturday and that gave us every reason to decorate some more! Come take a closer look at this spring mantel from Audra's house!

We have a pop of yellow on one side of the room but used green for this side and love how it turned out.


Grapevine is so cozy and warm, we love how this little wreath can add a touch of cozy!


Here are some fabulous Luminara candles! Can you believe these are flameless? Have you seen these before? They are definitely a decorator's dream! They look so authentic and cozy.


We wrapped them with some moss garland to add a touch of nature and spring. It takes the candles to a whole new level!


A vase is always the perfect mantel accent piece! Here we added some berry pics that are twine-like and fresh looking. Don't you just love it?


Some more greenery! It really helps add warmth and gives that spring feeling. Plus it looks so authentic!

We like to drape it down and around.


We were able to use a small theme in our mantel to tie it all together, and that is pears!



We find that it's always best to use varying heights in the vignette when decorating a mantel.
It's pleasing to the eye. 


A trick is to stack books under the vase to give it some height.


We love the finishing touches! It really is the little things...

There you have it! Doesn't it look fresh? The candles keep it cozy though as well.


We love to change our mantels for the seasons. It's a great way to liven up a room! For us, it makes such a difference, like painting a wall or re-arranging furniture! Do you agree? We would love to hear what you think.

  4. I definitely agree about changing the mantel for the seasons. It's definitely a fun area to play with. Your spring mantel looks great- I like the different elements, textures, varying heights. I love those flameless candles. I haven't bought that particular one yet only because of the price of them, but they truly are the best looking on the market!
