Easter Mantel with a Vintage Touch

Since changing up my fireplace mantel is like climbing Mt. Everest, I try to keep things a little easier to decorate. If I find a piece that works well up here, it tends to stick around for awhile. The mirror, wreath and Monogram are staples here, keeping those in place, I can more easily find elements that fit the season or holiday.

I've been using this old window box since last Fall with different faux flowers and greenery. I salvaged it from our old house, and it was just about rotted through, and totally non functioning. I couldn't use it outside, but it's a perfect chippy for a Dining Room table centerpiece or up here on the mantel.

I have Mason Jars inside that make it easier to anchor the floral stems. I had darker Hydrangeas last Fall, and over Christmas they were mixed with Evergreen stems. Spring needed to be lightened up, so I'm using Spring-y looking Hydrangeas in shades from white to green to edged with pink. Who knew there could be that many lives of a Hydrangea?

My Pottery Barn lanterns are still here and since Easter is around the corner my vintage graphic cutout Rabbit and Lamb are center stage.

I added my vintage shabby cherub candlesticks to the mix, to give a little more visual interest. 

I found these standup vintage graphic cutouts on MDF board a few years ago. I love the details and they are perfect for a vintage Easter vignette.

One of the newer members of the herd is hanging out here on the hearth with the vintage white painted demi-john.

I'm participating in two Spring Home Tours in the next few days. I'm joining in with Marty from a Stroll Thru Life for her Spring Home Tour on Friday and then next week with Amber from Follow the Yellow Brick Home for a Vintage Easter Hop. Hope to see you back Friday for more fun.
