I am so excited....
I finally got a REAL fantle!!!!
- What's a fantle?
- A fake mantle, of course!
We have lived in this house for eleven years, and I have NEVER had a mantle....
Since I am not smart enough to know how to attach a mantle to a brick wall, it finally dawned on me that I could make a fake mantle by attaching a plank to the bottom of two old shutters!
I found some old shutters that were the exact right size, and screwed the shelf to the bottom.
Ta-da!
Done!
So easy.....
I am not sure why I never thought of it before.
I am going to have so much fun decorating this shelf, ... er.... fantle, for the different holidays and festivities....
That is where this ugly fireplace sits....
I painted all the brassy material black, and I like it a lot better...!
But I was afraid a bigger shelf would get bumped, and things would topple.....}
Yay!
I finally got a REAL fantle....
I am so excited...!
