An Everyday Mantelscape

Here is how I currently have my mantel decorated.  When I took down my Valentine's mantelscape, it seemed a bit too early to bring out the Easter decor so I went with this look for the month of March.

 

I have white mini-lights along the mantel and behind the mirror that I leave up year round. I've covered them with a sheer fabric that allows the light to shine through but hides the cord.

This black round vase is a recent purchase for $5 at TB!S (The Bargain Shop). I added some greenery to it.

 I like how the black of the vase coordinated with these black candleholders I already had.

Here's a trick that fools the eye...if you have candleholders that are the same height but want them to look different sizes, use pillar candles of different sizes.

These three glass votive holders are out of a

set of 5 I got a few years back from Partylite.

Faux gold leaves adorn the top of the mirror as well as below.

 

 Mr. Delight has promised a "mantel/fireplace makeover" but I know I have to wait for ski season to end and if you look out the window in the pic below, you'll see we still have a LOT OF SNOW so it might be awhile!
