Touch My Mantel

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

So I’m all moved into my new apartment. Still have some things to organize and hang on the walls, but I’m pretty much done. But I’m stuck on my fireplace. I have a huge (non-working) fireplace in the center of the living room. Not only am I looking for cool candles to put in the fireplace…I need to figure out what to put on the mantel.

I have my painting Kate McLean made for me of my cat fighting a bear right above the fireplace…but have nothing to accent it. Should I do candles? Cool funky bottles? Wine bottles? Knick knack stuff? Gnomes?

I’m by no means an interior decorator, so I’m stuck on what to do? What can I put on my mantel?…Help!
