How to Decorate Your Fireplace for Spring

Now that the holidays have come and gone, it is time to consider decorating your fireplace and mantel for spring.

Below are some decorating ideas for spring and Easter:

A quick and simple idea is to place daffodils in either one large crystal or glass vase and on the mantel in the center or using tow vases on either end of the mantel herald the coming of spring. You can tie a soft pastel colored bow around each vase for a finishing touch. For summer consider using a larger vase filled with
gladiolus placed on the hearth to add color and bring summer inside your home.

Another idea is to use a line of fluffy chicks, or bunny rabbits to decorate your mantel. By using several chicks or bunnies, which are either stuffed toys, fine porcelain, or collector's items they will make a wonderful spring display. My mother would use stuff animals, which she received as Easter gifts as a child to decorate her mantel. She'd also place Easter grass on the mantel. Today, I've carried on her tradition, but have added pastel gingham bows to accent the spring display.

A friend of mine decorates her mantel with antique candleholders made from Depression glass, crystal, milk glass, and pastel glass. They all are of various heights, but take on a gorgeous look when she fills most of the candleholders with springtime colored candles like lavender, pink, pale green, and soft yellow. The remaining
candleholders she sets decorated Easter eggs.

Another idea is to use a fireplace candelabrum accented with egg shaped candles, or pastel candles. When my children were small, the Easter Bunny would replace several of the candles with Easter eggs, or chocolate bunnies------perhaps they aren't too old for the Easter Bunny to return this year.
