Mantles can be so difficult.


I always have a difficult time with fireplace mantles. Why put so much pressure on myself? So, here's my first draft of the mantle in my current home. The mirror was purchased at Michael's several years ago. It has a blemish so the manager gave me another 10% off. The flowers came from Joann at the end of the summer for $14. The clock is an antique from my hubby's grandparents. Total cost for the mantle today is less than $40. I think I need to do more but not quite sure. I would like to tone down the white stone fireplace. It's just too bright. What do you think?
