I'm sick...

1/2/3/4/5/6

I've got this thing called a "Spring Fever". Yes, I know it's only the fourth day of January... but I'm ready. 

Ready for color, warmth, sunny days, my boxwoods not to look so dead fugly, and bright color blocking clothes. Can I get a little resort collection my way? 

So since I've been sick lately, I decided to get a jump on things and make a spring-like mantel. Here she is...

Let me know what you think. I personally think she's missing a couple staffordshire dogs. Just sayin. 

Man-tle

This year my mantle is a tad man-ly. That's fine, because I want it that way. I decided to continue on the "tartan-chic-hunting-equestrian" theme throughout the house for a cohesive look. 

 First I started with the lattice mirror in the background to project light, and then added my new cintage brass urn with deer antlers and greenery.

Then I kept my traditional  blue & white vases with the preserved boxwoods and flanked the mantle with my sparkly gilver deer.

Inserted greenery with pine-cones throughout the whole piece and then added red Tartan bows, of  course.

These stockings are our place holders until I get new ones... a last minute find last year and well... they work.

More Christmas pics to come soon!

I like to...

Rock out. 

My mantle. Check out my new addition. 

It rocks.
