Black Mantel

Potted Amarilys "Before"

Potted Amarilys "After"

Fireplace "After"

Every year, after the Christmas decorations come down the house feels so sterile. This usually spurs a change of some sort. This year it was the mantel. It got a fresh coat of black enamel and it really made a difference.

I came across these potted Amarilys on clearance for $1 each. I brought them home and re-potted them in clay pots. Aren't they a pretty little Valentines accent?

Thanks for all feedback and comments. I have really enjoyed visiting all of your blogs as well!
