"Where are we going to hang our stockings?!?!"

When we were buying our house, I woke Steve up in the middle of the night with this question. I fell in love with our fireplace and never really realized that it didn't have a mantle until we were in the process of buying our house. Luckily, I have a VERY handy husband. His answer was, "I'll make some." Yes, he made me mantleS...plural. :)

Here is what it looked like before we moved in.
Here it is now! :) I'm not completely satisfied with the "stuff" on the mantles, but that will be changed for Christmas anyway.
