We have an orangy looking pine mantel but it was custom made to match our kitchen and hubby would die before he let me paint. I love the milk glass vases and the cute stockings. You are so crafty! The ornaments looks so cute with the greenery. You have a great eye for detail, something I need to work on! lol!<br /><br />Jane xxBlondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8264090993272772256.post-79159825296556945962014-12-07T20:20:48.077-05:002014-12-07T20:20:48.077-05:00Your mantel is so pretty!

Before, the wood just blended into the brick and wasn't the focal point that it is now. You took it from ordinary to an important feature. Great job! <br />Those finials are incredible, I love them so much, that I'm going to keep my eyes open . . . I would like to do that, too. <br />Have a happy weekend.<br />Connie :)Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8264090993272772256.post-39975793779255968912014-12-04T13:48:41.159-05:002014-12-04T13:48:41.159-05:00Sherry the White is fantastic!
