I told you that I was into decorating for spring.  Decorating is something that I have to be in the mood for.  My creative is strange.  If I am not really in the mood, it will not happen.  I can’t force it.  So when I started feeling like I wanted to add a little spring, I figured I better jump on those feelings.  Did you see the flower arrangement on the kitchen island I made?  That is what originally got me in the mood.

Simple Spring Mantel

Today I threw together a spring mantel using artificial flowers and candlesticks.  It is SO SIMPLE… but I think it is the picture that I added to the frame tv that stole the show.  I was looking for a new one to apply as a screen saver and when this one popped up, I thought it looked pretty cool.  It is totally unlike me.  LOL

I started with these artificial flowers that I had in my stash already. Some of these are unavailable but I found some similar ones and linked them here if you are interested.   I added them to some old rusty containers that I have had for awhile. 

Do you recognize the large candlesticks?  They were some of our transformation Tuesday pieces.  And, I love how they turned out.  I added another wooden candlestick to each side of the mantel and then, of course, added my favorite flameless tapers.  And then, of course, added the bird picture to the television.  I talked about our television here if you missed it.

So what do you think?  I have so many more things I will be sharing for spring and I can’t wait.
