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.
I WISH IT WAS THAT EASY!


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.




IM OFF TO LOOK FOR MY
NEXT PROJECT!
