My “Country Living” Spring Mantel

 

YAY!

Spring

has sprung here in Tennessee…

SprMntl

and so has my “Country Living” themed mantel.

You will see that I used some old relics I had on hand (thanks Mom!) to create my

spring explosion of country living.

Watering can, birdhouse, old washing board, flowers…

things from past and present come together

to celebrate the outdoors in springtime and create the feeling of farm life!

Along with some sprigs of flowers tucked in between the stones,

I used an old lantern, an old rusty colander and a metal birdcage (for a punch of color)

to adorn the front of the stone fireplace.

I love using old metal and wood together.

It was lots of fun creating my “Country Living” Spring Mantel this year!

Happy Spring Everyone!
