Fresh Mantel for Spring

Hi Everyone,
I hope you all had a wonderful Easter.
Friday was a beautiful sunny day here so it motivated
me to freshen up our mantel.


I just pulled out things that I already had and created 
a spring vignette.


Of course I had to include some pretty spring blooms.


I love using aqua mason jars too ~ the color just seems so
 perfect for spring.
{ Well actually, it's perfect for just about every season I think. }



These jars were purchased at barn sales for just
 a couple dollars each.


And the silver tray in the back is from the Dollar Store.


Can you see how beautifully the sun was streaming in that day?
Oh I hope we have more days like that soon!
Thanks so much for coming by to see my mantel!!

JoAnne

    Your mantel is so pretty and I totally agree that aqua mason jars go with everything. I'm thinking of getting mine out again. I used them last summer, but got into other things for the winter mantel display.

    I love everything on your mantel, especially the rose picture. Is that done on a part of a pallet? It's so soft and just right with your Spring items. Love how you combined just the right things for your mantel.
    I too love the aqua mason jars. I bought mine in MT & KY but here in western CO they are ridiculously expensive if I can even find them. Glad I have what I do as I have some older ones that have the wavy old glass. Only one of the clear ones I bought got broken so I guard them faithfully. Only since I've been getting on blogs have I gotten them out to use, I just love them. I'm so happy they are so popular and appreciated now. Happy week

Blue Kitchen Cabinets 2017

I have done a couple posts on kitchens with blue cabinetry in the past, after all it is my favorite color. It has been awhile though, so today I have rounded up some more  amazing kitchens with cottage style that also incorporate blue in  the design. source The kitchen above and the one below have white upper cabinets and soft shades of blue on the lower ones. This is a nice way to use blue without going overboard or ending up with something that you would get tired of quickly. source source Finding the right shade of blue would be key and using a lot of white and wood tones along with it creates a beautiful and timeless look. source source Isn't the kitchen above just so very unique? It has sort of a french country feeling but in an updated way. Wish there was a better picture of the script that's on the wall  on the right. source This kitchen is from Remodelondo la Casa and I've always thought the...

Family Room Reveal

Hello Everyone! I've been meaning to post about our updated family room for a very long time and I'm  finally doing it - yeah!! I had been ready to replace our brown leather furniture for a while and when a new Ikea opened very close to us last summer, I jumped at the chance to take a good look at their slipcovered furniture. Originally the plan was to buy another sofa and loveseat like we had but when I  saw the Ektorp sectional on the showroom floor at Ikea, I was sold.   It just seemed so cozy and I could really envision it in our family room. As you can see, we purchased the sectional with the white slipcover. You just can't beat the prices at Ikea and the quality is definitely good enough for us. I'm at a point where I don't want to buy expensive furniture that I feel like I have to keep forever.   We even had the sofa delivered and they took away the old sofa and loveseat  for a very small fee. We purchased...

AFFORDABLE WALL DECOR

Hi Everyone, One of the things I find the most difficult about decorating is finding wall decor that I like and is also affordable. That is one of the main things that I am always on the hunt for and sometimes I have to come up with some creative ideas. Just yesterday, I found this beautiful image of a  white hydrangea at The Graphics Fairy . The Graphics Fairy I printed it out in a size that would fit in a frame that  I already had.  I think it looks so pretty in the simple white frame. I'm probably going to hang it in our bedroom. I'm making a few small changes in there and I will show you when it's completed. This star is actually from the garden section of our local Meijer store.  It was originally silver metal and I spray painted it white. I have seen a lot of people decorate with bread boards. This one fit perfectly in the narrow space between my  cabinet and window and I love the warmth of the wood. ...
