The delightful Rhoda at Southern Hospitality is having a Spring Fluffing party. I do not have much decorated yet for spring but because she is such a sweetie I did not want to miss her party so I thought I would share my fairly new mantel decoration with you all.
When my daughter Dana from Dana Moore Designs was here the weekend we were putting together the entertainment center she ran down to the basement and pulled up some spring things to fluff up the mantel.
The first things she brought up were my huge French rabbits that I like to use at Easter time. They fill in the space nicely. With these 18' ceilings you really need big items to make any kind of a statement. These big rabbits caught my eye at The Great Indoors several years ago and I look forward to using them each season. I purchased the blue and green Mama rabbit with her babies sitting on her and the green watering can at the same time. Dana used the books to set the watering can on to give it some height. Then she used an antique candle box that we had downstairs to carry the dark wood from the entertainment center over to this end of the room. The terra-cotta pot with moss in it adds a little softness to the arrangement.
This picture from upstairs shows the full fireplace with the crooked floating rug in front of it ;)Thanks Rhoda for the party. I hope you enjoyed your visit here. These parties have been a fun way to meet other bloggers. I so enjoy hearing from all of you and so appreciate your comments and all of the new followers of Life At Home. Stop by Southern Hospitality , join in the fun and grab a cup of coffee and spend some time visiting the other participants. I hope to get around to visiting all of you soon.
Happy Spring Fluffing.
Hugs,
Sue

Love your mantle. And to have an interior decorator in the family...You are so lucky!!
ReplyDeleteI see you're from Michigan. My daughter was married last July and then moved to Michigan for her husbands new job. They live in Muskegon and are walking distance to the beach! It's the only reason I let her move :0)
Oh how pretty! Your french rabbits on your mantle are great! My favorite though are those cute bunny pillows on your chairs. Your home is lovely! Thanks for the tour.
ReplyDeleteIt all looks fantastic! My favorite thing is the watering can. I need to get me one of those!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post, lovely decor and I enjoyed your blog sooooo much! This really got me in the Easter/Spring mood!
ReplyDeleteXO,

Those rabbits are so cute, but I really love your fireplace colors. Super!
ReplyDelete*** Like everyone else, I ADOOOORE your PRECIOUS, UNIQUE bunnies~~~ sooo totally delightful & lighthearted, and your sweet daughter did a GREAT job!!! THANK YOU!!! Warmly, Linda
ReplyDeleteHi there Sue!
ReplyDeleteI'm still making my rounds on the Spring Fluffing party. I must say I LOVE, love, love your bunnies! They are so adorable. I also like the way you have decorated with the ivy. English ivy is my favorite indoor / outdoor plant. I also love the soft green of your living room walls. So fresh and springy! Thanks for your visit to Carolina Panache and for your thoughtful and sweet comments. Hope to see you often.
Warmly,
Alisa
What a STUNNING shot of your room! Totally so romantic! I love the draperies! ~CC Catherine
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Spring Fluffing....Love all the Springy touches she added to your mantel! Looking Good!
ReplyDeleteCame here by way of Rhoda... Like your fireplace bunnies- they are so cute and humongous! And the bunny pillows on the 2 chairs are neat, too. Like you, I have windows on each side of my fireplace like this and have yet to put anything on them. They face the woods and I am not worried about privacy, but I get the west sun and it is starting to fade my leather. Have never seen blinds on the top windows before. Love them, they look nice. Guess I have to give them a try. Will be back to visit. Sue
ReplyDeleteI am so in love with that room! The wall color, the windows, the furniture, it all looks so "together" and inviting. The mantel is adorable too.
