Well here we are in March…
It’s not quite spring, but I don’t want to believe that it’s still winter. So what’s a girl to do?
Redecorate. Oh yes.
– – –
Even though we have a foot of snow on the ground (it is melting), the sun is shining, and there is a glimmer of hope that spring is just around the corner. So why not bring it inside!

I figured it was time for a mantel redo, so I decided to dress up my mantel for spring. And you can too! Shop around your home for colourful items, make a new wreath, buy some fresh flowers, bring in the garden by potting some indoor plants, have fun with it! You’ll be amazed at how good it feels to give your home a mid-winter pick me up!

Go to your local market and pick up some pretty tulips! They brighten up any room!
– –
Dream of summer grass with the addition of green!

Decorating for the changing season is such a nice way to say good-bye to winter! How do you decorate?

Have an inspired day!
Looks like Spring at your place! Love the purple tulips. Great choice!
I hope Spring listens to you and does HURRY! If not, you can pretend while looking at that CUTE mantel. It does sing Spring =)
Looks like spring to me…love the tulips. I have red ones in my kitchen. And I was looking at my garden today and saw a few starting to push their way up through the dirt. It will be spring soon. Have a great weekend.

I love the splashes of green that you have throughout your built-ins and mantel:) The tulips are just the perfect pop of bright color. Excellent job on the mantel:)
Gorgeous! I love the birch bark added to the display…love the nature inspired mantle all ready for spring….hopefully spring is on its way!

SO gorgeous! I’m not even fully decorated for St. Pattys Day yet. I feel like by the time the holiday passes it’s time for a new one. Your home is beautiful! I love the built in cases!
Puts one in the “mood” Jo-Anna !
Tulips = spring to me! Love all your simple touches. I can’t wait for warmer weather…

The mantle is decorated beautifully! Love the tulip bottles, and the vintage frame..so cute!
So so Springy and pretty 🙂

we don’t have spring here in the Philippines so i am quite curious how who people from other side of the world feels. we only have hot and cold season here in PH.
Love the tulips! It makes me feel very springy =)

Lovely! I may steal the tulips on the mantel idea….
Love love love your blog! 🙂 I’m your newest follower and tulips are my favorite. I love your decorations – so pretty!
Jo-Anna,
Gorgeous! I can’t wait to decorate for spring, either! I have been following your blog since before the summer and know that I pinned your mantel once before for another season. This will be starting my Spring Pinterest folder!
I just have to say that your blog is beautiful – so aesthetically pleasing. I was just thinking today that I should send you a message thanking you for the delicious yet simple recipes you share – tonight we had your roast pork with apples recipe (for at least the 4th time) and it has become a go-to recipe for our extended family as well.
All the best,
Claire @ alittlesomethinginthemeantime.blogspot.com
I’m so late in answering this e-mail – I’m SO sorry! I don’t know how it slipped through the cracks! Comments like yours are amazing, and they are the reason I blog! I can’t thank you enough for your kind words!

Your mantel looks great. I especially love the simplicity of the single tulips- they almost look like a small garden. Great job.

What a beautiful mantel! I’m popping over from the TT&J Wrap-Up Party. Really, this is one of the prettiest mantels I’ve seen. LOVE!

Your spring mantel is so pretty. I have a love for old windows and anything architectural. The two white shelving units on either side really makes your stone fireplace stand out. Very lovely!
I’m a new follower and would love for you to follow back on GFC.

Oh, wow! This is stunning! I love everything about it! The tulips, the birds, everything! And I am soooo with you! I cannot wait for Spring…Of course, I’m in Louisiana and we are already having some spring weather…It’ just stinks that half the week is spring and the other half is winter…I never know what to wear! lol I would love for you to stop by and link to my Sew Crafty Saturday Party!
Wow this is beautiful. i would love if if you could join my party and link up at http://twiggstudios.blogspot.com/2012/03/sunday-showoff-party-5-come-and-link-up.html?m=1 thankyou xxx
I love love love your simple, wonderful mantle! The first pic took my breath away, because tulips are my favorite flowers ever! And I also love how you styled them – are those apothecary bottles? I’ve got the same ones from my grandma, but only shorter in height. Visiting from Funky Junk (my entry is http://meehameeha.blogspot.com/2012/03/how-to-make-spring-vignette-in-5.html)
Wow! Your space is beautiful! Great job on your mantle! 🙂 Rosa
Your fireplace is just heavenly! I dream of having a stone fireplace one day…
Beautiful! I have been thinking of doing a spring mantle decoration as well. I’ve been a bit lax this year with my mantle. I kept a summer mantle up all year (except I threw in a few canles and Christmas decorations on it for show!). I just loved what I did over the summer – I have some beautiful carved shore birds that I got at a garage sale for a song, plus some coral and some sea fans. I love it and I didn’t want summer to end I guess.
So – maybe I can put my summer decorations on hiatus for a while and bring on the tulips and greenery!
Thanks for your beautiful inspiration. I was featured as well on Stephanie’s Under the Table and Dreaming blog.
Cheers!

Before you add moisture to the slices of the bread
will start to change and the mold makers. Now wear
the gloves and mask and start spraying the prepared solution on the affected area
is small and there is adequate ventilation in the house, get it
fixed right away. Make sure that you keep the room dry and cut off any left more than mold that does not necessarily indicate the
presence of mold in yourbathroom: start outby using vinegar.
It’s not my first time to visit this website, i am visiting this website dailly and get fastidious
data from here everyday.
Where did you get that stone from?
Where did you get your stacked stone from?
I LOVE LOVE your stone fireplace….where did you get the stone.?
Thanks
Hi Lisa! We aren’t the original owners of this home, so I don’t really know where it came from. But it looks like the ‘stone’ is a formed stone of some sort. I’m sure if you talked to a fireplace company they would be able to help you out! 🙂
