Happy May everyone!!! Where did April go so fast???? So, I have been looking, on and off, since we moved in here for new artwork for the fireplace. I never thought I would find something that I LOVE and was the right size. BUT I DID!!!! I was just browsing one night at the Pier 1 site and bam! I saw it! So, after we (Joe) got it hung for me, I had to redo the mantle and hearth!
Since the artwork makes such a statement, I kept the mantle design rather simple. I combined a blue hydrangea garland and a white hydrangea garland. Then I just added the candles. Simple but petty.
On the hearth I used my white basket and wired a green wreath to it then added a nest.
I love the little bird on the jars lid.
I will use this all Spring and Summer then will decide if I will keep it here for Fall and Winter.
I actually like that it isn't framed. It keeps it simple and can go with anything.
I have had the blue hydrangea garland for YEARS! I hadn't used it for awhile, it was stored away. But I knew I could combine it with the white one.
The white lantern got a nest inside. I perched a bird onto my bowl that I turned upside down and put a nest of greens under it.
These clay pots with nests and eggs are an old staple too.
At night, the lights come on.
I am so happy with the carved wooden lanterns on the hearth. I can't believe it took me over 4 years to put them here;)
Thanks for your visit. I hope you are having beautiful Spring weather where you are. We are so enjoying being able to sit out on the deck or patio! I have decorated it and have gotten all my pots planted so will share that soon too. Have a beautiful day!!!
