Spring Mantel

Ah, spring, glorious spring. 
It's been a loooooooooonnng winter here in the Pacific NW. I've been so eager for spring this year that our mantel has actually looked like this since January, when I took down all of the Christmas stuff.
The sun finally showed its face today so I was able to get some pictures of our mantel while we actually had some natural light shining in the windows.


Nothing fancy, just a few vintage finds and some little pops of greenery. The candles, glass pillar candle holders, and faux greenery were from Ikea; everything else were finds from the antique & vintage shops here in Snohomish.



The art niche in our front entry received a coat of SW Comfort Gray to give it some interest. I paired an arched metal mirror with a white pitcher from Ikea filled with pussy willow branches to give it a little spring flair.


Now if we could just get the weather to be a little more spring-y, I'd be one happy gal.
