I DREAM OF A MANTLE !
Monday, April 2, 2012
THIS MANTLE WAS MADE
WITH A SHELF I GOT
AT THE THRIFT STORE FOR
$4.99 AND I BELIEVE IT
WAS 25% OFF THAT DAY,
WHICH MADE THINGS EVEN BETTER.
THE PIECE WAS STAINED AND
VARNISHED, AND IT WAS SCRATCHED
UP. IT WASNT THE LOOK OR
THE COLOR I WANTED!
THIS SHELF WAS THE PERFECT
PIECE I HAD IN MIND
WITH A LITTLE PAINT TO
GIVE IT THE WEATHERED LOOK,
SOME STAIN, AND 2 CANDLE
HOLDERS I PURCHASED AT MARSHALLS
WHICH I WOULD USE AS THE
BRACKETS THEY HAD THAT
CORBEL LOOK TO THEM.
HERE IT IS!
THE PIC'S WERE A LITTLE HARD
TO TAKE AS ITS DOWN IN THE
FAMILY ROOM AND I DID'NT HAVE
ALOT OF NATURAL LIGHT TO
WORK WITH.
HOPE YOU LIKE IT
I HAD ALSO REDID THE
MIRROR ON THE MANTLE AND
THE OWL HERE'S
WHAT THEY LOOKED LIKE
BEFORE...
THE MIRRORS COLOR WAS
ORIGINALLY A GLOSS WHITE
AND I WANTED IT TO MATCH
THE MANTLE SO I GAVE IT
THE SAME DISTRESSED LOOK
AS I DID THE MANLE.
I LOVE IT AND I CAN'T
WAIT TO DECORATE IT FOR
THE HOLIDAYS.
