I hope you’re all enjoying the middle to your week, It’s going by so quickly!
I’ve been busy working on my spring mantel today.
Because I have a corner fireplace, I have a larger mantel to decorate and have to make sure I don’t overdo it! All the elements I’ve used shout out spring to me. Hope you like it!
I wanted to add some freshness with (faux) greens, my white candles, clear glass and a bit of nature with my driftwood candle holder. You can find the driftwood candle holder tutorial here
Love the white green and nature together with some lovely candlelight.
I”ve also added some branches that I usually use in my outdoor urns. I liked the pop of green that they add and our outdoor branches haven’t begun to bud yet.
The vase that the branches are in is actually a candle holder turned upside down! Gotta love pottery barn. All these candle holders were 50 % off. Because they’re clear glass they fit in with any color and decor.
I love the simple natural beauty of this and will change it up with some starfish and or shells in a couple of months for a summer mantel.
I hope you’ve enjoyed a look at my Spring mantel.
Thanks for stopping by today!
It's so pretty! It feels so fresh and clean.

Hi Kim,
I'm loving the simplicity of your spring mantel. I love the glass…simply elegant!!! You have the touch…I guess if you can start decorating for spring up in Canada I can get to it here in NY…Although as I write this it is 13 degrees outside….brrrrrr….
Very pretty, Kim! I love your driftwood candleholder, makes my heart skip a beat… thanks for bringing some Spring to my day!

Hi Kim,
I do indeed love your spring mantle! Like others have said, it looks so fresh and "clean". I especially love the tall green branches in the clear vase.
Hi Kim,
I just found your beautiful blog today and I am enjoying it so much!

Hi Kim,
your mantel looks gorgeous. I'm glad someone else uses fake greens too! I can kill even the hardiest plants in minutes no matter how hard I try to keep them.
I love the driftwood candle holder. I'll have to keep an eye out for a nice piece of driftwood this summer.
~Sam
This is drop dead gorgeous. I heart everything.
I'm jealous of the deep mantle. Mine is so shallow, there's not much chance for creating any kind of visual depth. This is just beautiful and I love, love the candle holder!!!
love it.. looks fresh, simple and clean
It looks like Spring has already arrived at your nest! I’m having a giveaway…be sure to come by and check it out…it ends March 6.
Blessings,
Linda
I found you at Funky Junk and I have to tell you, those corner fireplaces seem challenging, but you would never know it by looking at yours. It is amazing! Would it be okay if I mentioned it on my blog?
