Our Easter Mantel


I thought I'd share a few photos of our Easter mantel this year. If you've read my past posts then you know that I like to decorate by "shopping" my house for items I can use. I always gravitate towards shopping for items of specific color. This time I was on the hunt for blue.

I can't for the life of me remember where I bought the banner, but I am certain that it was one year after Easter and on discount. Then it sat in a Rubbermaid bin for a couple of years before Samantha and I put it together last year. We stamped "Hoppy Easter" on it.

The blue books on the mantel were easy to collect throughout the house. And well, Ball mason jars are pretty common around here. Let's just say that I've hoarded passionately collected them. I regret every one of them that I've sold!

You might recognize the little bunnies from this post HERE. They're from World Market.

I keep meaning to spray paint that candle holder. Warmer temps are here, so now may be the time!


I am pretty sure the bunnies (one piece) came from Hobby Lobby. The wall color is Danville Tan by Benjamin Moore. It's been our wall color since we moved in ten years ago, and I still love it as much as I did the first day. It looks different at night than in the day. It's very calming in person. (P.S. This color looks great in person. It looks totally wonky on my cellphone screen, so keep an open mind!)


Do you remember the barn wood that Ken and I got off of a an old barn/army building HERE? And also used to make THIS?

We used some our favorite pieces to make some free wall art for our mantel. The color is all natural and original. All we did was cut it and attach it together.


The "S" is for our last name. ;) The window was picked up on one of our Craig's List adventures.

I had fun pulling everything together. Everything other than the fresh tulips and the tiny bunnies on top of the books are things we already had. My favorite kind of decorating...FREE!
