A few post back , I did one of my "Pet Peeves " post , "The Line Up". . . I showed a few mantels that suffered from the mindless line of objects. This is a big pet peeve of mine, because I just know we can do better. This most important space should be given something interesting to look at. The cream of the crop of our accessories. I am really enjoying this beauty. Even with no fireplace at all , the mantel will still become the focal of the space, so show some style. Let your creative juices run. I love this little cozy corner, small , interesting and just so perfect. My own mantel, at Christmas time . . . special because the painting was done by my mom and all the little Santa's have special meaning to me as well, most were gifts from my girls when they were small. ( Note the Santa made from a toilet paper roll, just precious.) So take a look, is your Mantel Singing?

Over a year and a half ago, way back on September 1, 2015, we asked a question in a blog post. We had a mantel we'd need to build any day, and we needed to make a determination on just how that mantel in our living room should look. Well, we've been slowly working on this living room project and have finally reached a point where that day has arrived. Before we get into details, let's recap (in case you don't remember our blog post from a year and a half ago). The original mantel in the room was a poorly made pre-fab mantel from the early 90s. Too small for the room and fireplace, and just not all that attractive. It had an odd style, rounded corners, and just didn't fit with the style and age of the house. While it looked just fine at first glance, that old mantel essentially fell off the wall because I looked at it sideways. In other words, it really wasn't installed very well, which made it rather easy to remove.
For those of you fortunate enough to actually have a fireplace and mantel to decorate (which I don't, YET...), there are endless ways to arrange accessories and hang art / mirrors. I've rounded up several snapshots of accessorized mantels that range from minimal to eclectic and everything in between. What's your preference when it comes to accessorizing the mantel? What do you currently have going on with your fireplace decor? ***It's hard to believe that another week has gone by and we're quickly headed toward Thanksgiving - it will be here before we know it! I wish you all a very happy weekend and please be sure to visit next week as I have something super exciting to share with you! xoxo - Julie [IMAGE CREDITS: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12]
