Spring Mantel

I know, I know, I just did a post about my mantel decor.  :) But, ya know that was for Easter and Easter's over so I needed something fresh that would last for a while.

When I decorate my mantel I really do challenge myself to use things I have.  I move things around.  Steal things from other places in the house and make things new.  

Everything else I pulled out of my stash or borrowed from elsewhere.  You can find my burlap wreath tutorial here.  

It just got some new bows.  :)  The trough my hubby made for me at Thanksgiving - I just filled it with a garland that actually used to hang on my front door. I made a small purchase of a couple of ivy plants to bring some fresh green and life to the mantel.

I love the simplicity of it and the pop of color.  

I finished up a few pillows for the family room this weekend, and I'm waiting on a fabric order to arrive to put the final touch on the room for a while at least.  I think I'm ready to move to the backyard.  I have been scheming ideas in my head for that space!  :)

As always thanks for stopping by!
