Winter Mantel and a Warning

I’m going to start by warning you about my winter mantel.  It’s…well…

bright winter mantel

…decidedly NOT wintry!

It’s not that I don’t like winter.

I do, actually.  I love our rare Southern snowfalls, hot chocolate by the fire, scarves and mittens, and thick, fluffy socks.

But, as I explained in this post, I much prefer bright colors to tame neutrals (despite the paint color in my living room, which will change soon!).  In fact, more accurately, I like to mix bright colors with neutrals.

I found these at a consignment store for $10 for all three!

(Thanks, Mandy! Love her.)

 

So that, even when the trees are bare outside and the flowers are gone, it’s bright and sunny inside.

And I can think about how spring is just around the corner.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

  1. I love your bright and cheerful mantel…especially that print! Perfect timing with the return of the sun today. Mine feels drab and boring right now… You’ve made me want to liven it up. Have a great weekend!

  2. I love it! I am so over Wintery…I’m ready for color…just beautiful!

  3. Now that will warm anybody up on a dismal and cold day. Beautiful contrasts!
