Spring Mantel

By Stacy 20 Comments

It finally stopped snowing here in Utah so I decided to finish my spring mantel. I didn’t have the motivation to do it when I was still snuggled up with the fireplace roaring. But it has been sunny for a week straight so to celebrate here is my springy, yellow, mantel!!!

Another reason I held off was I was waiting for my tulips in my flower beds to be ready to cut.  Aren’t white tulips so sexy? And what scream spring more than gingham? Maybe green grass?

To cover up my TV, I just sprayed some foam board with chalk board paint. It is easy to prop up in front of the TV when it is not in use and easy to take down when we want to see a show :)

I realize that I still have not posted my fireplace tutorial (head hung in shame). I promise to get it posted soon.

I love my wood box. I ordered it from Joss and Main. The bunny was from Hobby Lobby and he got a coat of brass paint.

The vase is just a regular vase from the dollar store. I covered it in gold vinyl that I had left over from Christmas.

Happy Spring!!!!

    Very cute! What do you do with other accessories used for other seasons?
    I have a neutral, boring year-round mantle, cause (in addition to not knowing how to decorate it very well) I don’t know where I would store items not in use.

    Gingham and grass- perfect! And what a great idea for covering the tv! I’m absolutely going to use that for parties!

    It looks lovely – I thought spring was finally here in London, but it’s cold and wet again :-(

    Love it! We just installed a fireplace last fall so this is my first spring having to decorate it. Harder then it looks! Winter was easy… with pine branches and stuff but I needed spring inspiration thanks!

    I saw another comment asking how you store all your decor for other seasons, I need ideas for that also…

    I love the idea of spraying a foam board with chalkboard paint. What a lightweight solution to use when you need one.
