This mantel is my mantel. This mantel is over 90 years old and sits peacefully atop it's fireplace. This mantel is a bungalow arts and crafts mantel. This mantel is always evolving, ever in flux.
It's time to learn how to dress it properly.
A mantel is a gallery wall and the first thing that catches your eye when you walk into a small bungalow house. A mantel is full of endless possiblities in design and decoration. Therefore, it is a pain in the ass to figure out when to say when.
Edit, edit, edit. Therfore, this first mantel is my non edited mantel. It's my "in your face" mantel. It's a mess. And this is a blog about how to take a mess, and craft it into a masterpiece. A monthly mantelpiece.
The year begins. The mantel waits for February.
