spring is here and summer’s right around the corner, but it’s not as if you can just hide your fireplace mantel away until you need it again. it most likely still holds a pretty prominent place in your home and sometimes front and center. so its still got to look good while it’s sort of hibernating for the season’s warmer months. i recently shared this pretty mantel filled with flowers which is always a nice option. or line up the candles — it’s always lovely to have a romantic glow going on here, even if your fireplace isn’t lit. and mantels are the optimal spot for displaying your beloved vintage trinkets and pieces of treasured artwork — keep it simple, or layer it up like crazy with all those mementos close to your heart.
