spring mantel & bookcase

Neutral & Fresh

Here's my simple look for spring...

 I was in the mood for something different, it's not my usual more edited look!

All of the vases (except one) are from my thrifting trips,
my tips on how to scour your Goodwill, and what to look for when you're thrifting
 are here, and my tips for painting them here.

The pots of wheat grass add a pop of color, freshness and texture,

it couldn't be easier to grow, if you want the details go here.
It's not to late for Easter!

The ivy in my topiary was rescued from a window box last fall,

if you'd like to know how to make one go here.

I shared an inexpensive framing tip here.

If you're thinking I like the look but I don't have that many white books,

think again!

Maybe you have some of these?

    Or, guess what color the inside of your book jackets are?
Just turn them over!

I even used a lot of paperbacks, just be sure you place them strategically
 and no one will ever know. 

I hope you're inspired to spiff up your

place for spring!
