Simple Spring Mantel: Globes, Books, and Art Work

Hey all!

 It's Spring time, well the calendar said it was, but I think the jury is still out.

My mantel has been empty since Christmas. Usually, I attempt a Winter Mantel,

but this year all I had to do was look out my window to see Winter. I will admit it 

has been beautiful, but 60" of the white stuff is enough.   

For my Spring Mantel I used what I had in the house and spent nothing, NOT ONE CENT! 

Honestly, I didn't put too much thought into decorating it either. The globes were colorful    
and that's what I was looking for. COLOR

Big Black mirror: a staple and it shows up from time to time on the mantel. 

Reader's Digest books are my favorite; the colors on the

spines and the designs on the covers-LOVE!

Globes came from the thrift store and can be used anywhere.

Artwork: my sweet daughter painted it in her Art class. Frame it!

Deer sheds are from my brother and I use them all over the house. 

White vase came from Micheal's a year ago.

I'm ready to see blue skies and looking at these globes make me happy.

it's the little things in life

Have you decorated for Spring yet? I need to springify the rest of the house; maybe this weekend. 

It's suppose to be in the 50's and maybe even 60's this weekend. 

Fingers crossed the weather shows us some grace. 

xxoo
