Vintage Botanical Mantel

I think my favorite find this year was this vintage fireplace mantel.  You may see how we found and installed the fireplace here.  I luv that I can change it up and style it for every season and more!  Here’s the vintage mantel decorated for spring into our botanical mantel.

I found these botanical book pages when I discovered I ran out of ink for our printer…  I had an old flower garden textbook that I found on our bookshelves that was filled with botanical photo pages.  What a find, and now I will have an abundance of them for different seasons.  So if you are out thrifting, look for those old flower books!

Spring Botanical pages

I started by hanging a couple of vintage windows that I had picked up in Maine last summer over the vintage mantel.

I framed the botanical book pages into 8 X 10 vintage copper frames that I found on Etsy.  They even look cute just sitting on top of the mantel.

This botanical mantel is such an inspiration for us in the spring.

I hung the botanicals onto the vintage windows with a fishing line and just a few tacks.

Here I added a few antique brass candles and a little blooming forsythia to the botanical mantel.  Super simple!

The forsythia is finally blooming here in Vermont and I have it scattered all throughout the house! Have you ever tried to force Forsythia to bloom in the spring?
