White Wednesday, Mantel for Spring

I don't usually show our lower level family area very often.

It sort of lends itself to a more rustic feel.

A lot of dark wood and colors,

but still with a vintage feel.

The huge rustic mantel was needing to be lightened up for Spring.

So I decided I'd go with a simple theme;

white ironstone tureens and pitchers.

I change out my prints seasonally,

and this is one of my favorites.

I love the muted tones of the vintage landscape.

Books, baskets, birdhouse, and burlap wrapped topiaries

help break up the ironstone.

(I have a little addiction to white ironstone pitchers)

could you tell?

It's a comfortable place for the family

 movie watching, games, pets, and conversation.
