It’s always a challenge for me when it comes to decorating our mantel for the seasons because it’s so massive, at almost 12 feet long! That’s a lot of space to style. Here it is, all dressed up for Spring with cheery pops of yellow. Having fresh flowers in the house feels like such a luxury to me – it makes me feel like a bona fide grown-up!
These vintage apothecary bottles were a gift from a very dear friend and another sweet friend gave me some beautiful peonies from her garden. Just looking at this little vignette makes me feel so happy and loved. I have the best friends.
Ahhh… Spring. You are so intoxicating. I just love how this cheery Spring mantel just brightens up the whole room. Wishing you a wonderful weekend and a very happy Spring!
Hi Jen!!
I hope you are well. I was wondering if you built this mantel . If yes what type of wood did you use??
Hi Leila! Thanks for stopping by! No, I didn’t build this mantle – we live in a rental and it was here when we moved in.
Thank you for replying. Its so pretty, looks well finished too.
It looks great. Those bright yellow blossoms pop out like little splashes of colour on the wihte background. You really inspired me for creating a a summer wreath 🙂
Love the mantle. Nothing says spring like yellow! I have a question. It looks like your window is just propped up on the mantel. How do you keep it from slipping? Whenever I try to do that I feel like it’s going to fall and either hurt someone or break a bunch of other things on the hearth. Thanks!
You can try putting a small strip of non-skid drawer liner right under your window. My window is just propped up, but I don’t worry about it slipping because the window and the mantle are both rough in texture.
