Fireplace Decorated for Spring

 

Using neutral colours with touches of green, I was able to decorate our fireplace for spring with a look that coordinates with our living room décor.

Let me show you the details.

 
 
A boxwood wreath, a bunny and a birdcage with white mini-lights were the basis for my spring mantel.

 
 
I've mentioned before that I always have white mini-lights on my mantel and incorporate them into the various seasonal décor.
  Here, I wound them into a birdcage and added some ivy and two little birds.
 
 
 
On the left side of the mantel, sits a bronze-look bunny peeking out from some tulips and ivy.
 
 
Beside the bunny are two faux candles. 
 I just love these kind (Reallite) as they have a realistic looking flickering flame.
Some of the mini-lights were tucked in amongst the faux tulips.


A spring mantel isn't complete without a nod to the true meaning of Easter so I placed my framed "He is Risen" and a cross in the middle.


Can you see the little nest I attached to the middle of the boxwood wreath?




On the curtain rod under the mantel, I wrapped these curly dried reed-type strips.  I think it adds a natural rustic look.

 
The hearth also got a few spring touches.
Some spring grasses in a brown vase.
 
The hearth lantern gets some Easter décor inside.
A little nest and faux eggs fill the base and a butterfly pin is attached to a pillar candle.
 
Happy Spring!

  7. I love everything I saw on your mantel, especially the fairy lights in bird cage, so pretty. I'll have to be doing that tomorrow to put on my "mantel" which is my shutter shelf. I have several metal wire cages and several ceramic birds so will have such fun getting it made up. On second thought I'm going to put bird cage on nook shelves in l/r where I can plug the lights in. Will make the shelves look festive and more noticeable. You have inspired me so much. Love your way of showing things. I have couple of faux candles also, will use them on shelf with the cage. Thanks for your inspiration. Happy Spring Pinning this
