Who’s ready for SPRING??? Check out this vintage door spring mantel!
I am!!! The weather is getting warmer and I am getting excited for capris, flip flops and picnics!In the meantime, I thought maybe if I decorated my mantel for Spring, that might help it get here sooner LOL.
I found a beautiful old door at a local architectural salvage yard. I LOVED the bright green/teal color that it had been painted many moons ago. Someone had tried painting over the teal with some white paint later, so I sanded off as much of the white as I could with my handy little mouse sander.
Then once it was clean, I applied some vinyl with one of my favorite Spring quotes from Emily Dickinson. I love it!
I also spray painted a couple frames (from Cut It Out Frames) in bright, Spring colors.
The next thing I did was recover some canvases with bright fabric.And then I covered a letter with moss.
And then I added my Spring Paper Wreath. (A tutorial on that coming up tomorrow).
I took an old doorknob I’ve had sitting in a bowl for a few years and it fit perfectly in the door!!!
I hung the wreath from the doorknob with some pretty YELLOW ribbon.
And then I added my Chevron Pendants that I made last year.
I love the POP of color the door brings to the room. It’s so bright and CHEERY!!!
Amd it goes so well with my new pillows and throw from Target (I love that place).
Have you decorated for Spring?? What have you made for your home?
Leave me a link to YOUR idea – I would love to see it!!
Happy Spring!!!

Hi Jen – what paint colors did you use in your living room and kitchen? It’s a beautiful gray.
Hi Jennifer!!
It’s called Sharkey Grey by Martha Stewart’s paint line at Home Depot. It’s a very warm grey. I really love it!

Can we switch houses??? You have a beautiful home, and you’re so creative which makes it so unique! I love it!
W-O-W. really. The way you put all this together, with the colors, and the textures, and ALL of it – love, love, LOVE it. I’ve had my eye out for an arched window pane to lean above my mantel, but now I’ll be looking for an old door, too! I’m pinning this for Spring : )
I LOVE it Jen!! I have been hunting for an old door, but haven’t had any luck yet. It looks great with the frames and of course I love the color!
wow that looks great. i got to get hopping and get my easter stuff out.
I’m sure you get asked all the time but where is your couch from? Thanks!!!
Hi Lindsay!!
I had slipcovers made for my couch by Slipcovers by Shelley 🙂 http://customslipcoversbyshelley.blogspot.com/

Wow! That looks really amazing!! Sadly, I have done NOTHING to decorate yet. I got my box out of stuff for Easter and it’s still sitting on my dining table. Maybe I’ll just wait till after next weekend and go Spring crazy :o)
Can’t wait for the wreath tutorial. It’s gorgeous!
OMG I am so in love! This is so cute and cheery. So creative. You did a great job…..Now can you just bring it over to my house 😉

Jen, I just LOVE the colors in your home! This mantel is so bright and fun!!! All I’ve made so far is an easter egg bouquet centerpiece that I haven’t posted yet… But I will! 😉
It’s so cheerful! The colors are so fresh and springy! Beautiful as always!!
I love your creativity.
So CUTE! We have started decorating for Spring too- mostly outside though.
Jen that is adorable as usual! I love that you hung the wreath from the old doorknob! Those colors are so fun and spring like! I need to get a few spring things up in my house too!
That is SOO cute!
Oh!! I love this. What a creative idea!!
I love the idea of using a door. Such a fun and cheery mantel. I love all the wonderful colors and textures.
I love the colors! It adds so much! I am using that same color combo in my little girl’s room.
I’m so jealous of you big mantle! It’s beautiful, just like the rest of your home! I love all of the colors! Thanks so much for sharing, I love it!
I love this!!! All of the colors are so bright and cheerful. I can’t wait to see the spring wreath tutorial. : )

Jen, it is beautiful!! You and I are vibrant color soul sisters, I think. 🙂
I love it! The details are amazing! Can’t wait to see the wreath tutorial. I need to figure out what a mouse sander is…so going to google that now.
Beyond gorgeous!

Jen, oh how I love that wreath!!!! It looks so cool with the door and other decor. Love the home shots with all the bright colors. Nicely done 🙂
I love the room! It looks so warm and airy.
It looks beautiful! Funny enough, you have the moss “H”, and the wreath looks like an “O” … my eye kept wanting to find a “P” and “E” to finish off the word to match the quote! 🙂
I thought the same thing…looked for the rest of the word too! ;^)
I keep thinking that if you turned the last chevron piece sideways, it’d look like an “E”. now just for a “P” somewhere 😉
I think a P could be put in the yellow frame. Cute, cute idea, BTW!
Your mantel looks great! The quote you used is one of my very favorite quotes and I’m actually working on something for spring with that very quote. 🙂
Love!! Is your sectional slipcovered?? I LOVE it!!
Can you come decorate my house next? I will be pinning this on my spring board AND Where Women Create. 😉
