More mantel, not as cheap.

So while we are talking mantels. I have another mantel I love. My dear hubby and I built this one in the corner where once was a wood burning stove sitting on a pad of bricks. Nothing wrong with that, I just always wanted a fireplace and a mantel I could decorate. So when it was finished I just couldn't cover any of the rock that we so painstakingly put in place. So I went with this large metal plate.

Not terrible, but blah! So off I ran to Tai Pan, didn't know I was a poet. (ran, pan get it) Anyway, I found all these items, didn't know what I was going to do with them I just liked them all. I made this arrangement and Wa-La I loved it.

So what do you think? I think I spent about $45 on all the items. I know, it's not free like the other one but I really like it.

  1. It looks great! I love the star and the little pops of green. It almost looks like it needs something just a bit taller on the left side of the mantel though because the ceiling is so high there.
