Spring Mantel

The Nester is hosting a mantel party and I am actually feeling a bit like a party animal today.  Especially when this certain party involves one of my favorite things…Mantels.  Mmmmm. Love.

I recently changed up my mantel area in my living room.  Notice I say “mantel area” because like I have whined said before, I have 3 fireplaces in my house and none of them have a “traditional” mantel.  For a girl who loves mantels this is a little hard, but I am so grateful I have 3 fireplaces {i heart them} and I have fun challenging myself to decorate around them.  (Don’t you worry, I have a plan to transform this one and add some mantelish-ness to it…one day.)

This alcove is actually so beautiful. With the plastered wall and the curve on the top, it is so unique and different.  Because of this I always seem to have a problem decorating it.  I way over analyze it because I feel like I never get it to reach it’s full potential.  But, I keep trying.  I have had it a million different ways.  How boring would life be if we didn’t have any decorating challenges, right?

Thanks for checking out my Spring Mantel.  Hop on over to the party and check out all the amazing mantels…so fun!  Oh and by the way, the sun has been out at my house for the last couple days.  YAY!
