I lost my mantle to the television. We wall mounted it a few years ago and it was the best decision we could have made for the living room ... it opened up so much more floor space because we were able to get rid of the tv console. But I do miss decorating my mantle so much.
Yes, you see some wires ... that's what happens when you downgrade your cable service and then a cord comes loose in the wall. We haven't been able to fish it back through and we are not wanting to cut open the walls again. It really irritates me to see them all. I'll probably be purchasing those plastic wire covers for the meantime.
I wouldn't mind dressing up the fireplace a bit. I'm thinking a fireplace screen and maybe some large candle sconces or something.
We purchased the two entertainment cabinets on either side of the mantle to house some pictures, books, baskets and a few entertainment boxes. I love them. Crate and Barrel rocks my world.
I also love the sweet little pictures of my son hanging above the cabinets. My Mom got the frames for a steal from Pottery Barn a few years ago.
The tops of the cabinets and mantle usually turn into a catch-all during the week but I cleaned them up just for you guys. I'm sure some bills or magazines will find their way back over there today.
Hope you enjoyed! Have a great weekend!
