Spring Mantel



Today I am Joining Jennifer Rizzo for a Spring Fever Party.



Refresh Your Home!


I have been slowly incorporating Spring into each room.
This weekend I redid my living room mantel.
I tried my hardest to think of spring even while it snowed this weekend. 



After and before.


The new spring mantel looks much lighter and simpler even though I used some of the same items.





I just love this garden angel I received for Christmas this year.
I don't think he is not going outside though.


I just love the look of silver white and green.




This is Steiner, short for Einstein.  He was laying on the couch looking so comfy I could resist taking his picture.  He is the most lovable, snugly cat you could want.

Thanks for stopping by!
Make sure to stop by Jennifer Rizzo's for some great decorating ideas.

    Really lovely! That silver urn is so cool! I can imagine it's hard to "feel" spring when it's still snowing outside!

    i love how you can switch around the mantle decor depending on the holidays and time of year. the only mantle i have is the one that holds a television above it (not fun) so it is so great to visit to see what you've come up with. it's so pretty! xoxo
