A Mantel Styled With Dollar Store Greenery

It was time for a little switcheroo on the mantel, but I’ve been struggling to find an arrangement that I like.  I’ve got plenty of accessories kicking around my house that I can pick from, but I just couldn’t find a combination of things that worked for me.  I wanted to use all real plants, but I don’t get enough light on this side of the house for most plants I own.  I tried a few different items, but it just ended up looking either cluttered or unbalanced.  Lately I’ve been craving more of a clean and simplified look.  Less stuff—and using only the pieces that I love.

I ended up using a sign I made with the verse from Jeremiah 29:11, a cute pot and faux plant from Ikea, a vase, some old books, some white distressed candleholders and a live plant.  I tried putting some faux flowers in the vase, but I didn’t love it, and I felt something was missing.

So when my friend @audrajenn shared on her Instagram feed these cute faux palm leaves from Dollarama, I thought they would be the perfect thing to stick in my vase!  They tie in with the other greenery and I love the simplicity of them.

The white vase is a thrift store find that I chalk painted.  The white pot and faux plant are both from Ikea.  My white candleholders are from HomeSense.  The green plastic flower pot is from Dollar Tree.

I also found the cute little faux succulent in the cement pot at Dollarama for $4.  Isn’t it cute?!!  I also love these adorable succulents!

It always makes me happy to find a great piece of home decor at a dollar store.  Sometimes you just have to have a little imagination for what a piece could look like in your home!  What’s the best dollar store find you’ve ever come across?  I’d love to hear in the comments below!
