Easter Mantel

Posted on March 27, 2013 by Kristin

~Hi Friends~

Well, I’m a little late with my Easter Mantel this year but hey at least it’s done. Since I finished a little behind schedule, I decided on something super easy, no fuss, can keep it up for the next few months minus the eggs. I went with lots of green and a few pops of color using fresh flowers and some glass eggs inserted with feathers.

I don’t think I have ever shown you our “new” rug that I picked up at Joss and Main about 4 months ago. Guess we have been a little busy (smile). I went with an indoor/outdoor rug this time around for the durability and price and have to say I love it!

The moss monogram I made a little while back, you can find the tutorial here.

The cute little bunnies were at the dollar store, can you believe that, two for a dollar, I love that store.

And yes, I have embraced the huge dominant design feature in our family room.

~Hope everyone has a wonderful week, thank you so much for stopping in today~

I do receive many inquires on the fireplace so here is all the information.

Stacked Stone in Mountain Blend

The mantel is a 4×4 piece of lumber purchased at Home Depot. We stained and distressed it with a hammer.

The screen was purchased at a local iron store when they were going out of business.
