Hello my friends!
If you’re familiar with this blog, you know I repurpose anything and everything and I rearrange my home decor for sport.
This years Spring Mantel is no exception, I shopped my house for inspiration and came up with a few pieces that would fit the mantel perfectly this time of year. I decided to go with brights this season, after a dreary winter, I look forward to a colorful spring! You may remember my post from yesterday where I shared on how I made a DIY Split Pea Spring Wreath, which I think adds some whimsy to this mantel.
The mantel was so simple to put together.
From other parts of my home I borrowed:
An old shutter piece that I had painted black and added a small chalkboard to a while back. I just used wet chalk to write a simple Springtime message on it.
In the center I used a vintage window that usually lives in my foyer.
And on the other side, a few empty frames. A large one made out of painted planks (a FREE Craigslist find!), and a small estate sale frame that I painted Neptune Blue (by Behr).
That little white owl came from Michael’s, last Spring! The “Home” sign, is from Walmart..you guessed it–I painted that one too!
To top it off, I kept our ‘family sign’ right where it was. I love it, and it goes really well with the color scheme.
I’m so excited that Spring is here! My mantel is ready to greet the season, the warmer weather, and the flowers in bloom!
Have you considered brights as an alternative to traditional Springtime pastels?
