HIGHPOINT CIRCLE: rabbits

I think the Spring Cleaning bug is visiting my house--don't worry the infestation won't last long, in fact, it may be gone already. I'm trying to get over it!

It began when I took down some tired window treatments in the kitchen. That decision lead to a cascade of changes. Down came the window treatments, down came the "stuff" on top of the cabinets, and the mantle got stripped too. Now what? This is what happened next...

Funny thing is I liked the mantle before I photographed it but the picture of the mantle looked sparse , so...

I added a couple of platters behind the greenery. It may just the way a picture changes the way a room "reads", but I like the mantle better without the platters when I'm in the room. I don't know if any of this makes any sense.....but, I would love your opinion. WITH THE PLATTERS, OR WITHOUT THE PLATTERS, please vote by leaving a comment.

Here's a closeup of those rabbits (which I leave out all of the time). They used to be terra-cotta orange. I sprayed them years ago and loved them all over again!

Also, last, but not least, I'd like to shout THANK YOU to Marty from A Stroll Thru Life for the $150 gift certificate I won to glasses.com. I was shocked and delighted and I knew my son wanted a pair of sunglasses, so I passed the joy on to him. Here he is in the glasses he got for free! THANKS MARTY!
