Lower Level Mantel


Today I decorated the mantel in the lower level Family Room. Since our house is up for sale through the end of December, I wanted to keep it simple.

My youngest daughter always has a party with her friends on New Years Eve . I really wanted to decorate the hearth, but that seems to be the first place people are drawn to when they come downstairs and I wanted to keep it clear for potential homebuyers.


I really love the fireplace screen I found online last year.


There are shelves on either side of the stone fireplace. This is the shelf to the right.


Thanks for stopping by!
I am linking up with The Lettered Cottage for their mantel party!
Head on over to seem some FABULOUS mantels!
Tomorrow I will show you how the vinyl artwork I made over the weekend looks on my daughter's wall.

  5. Nice and simple. I'm sure you will have no problems selling your home, it is beautiful. So are you staying in NC or moving elsewhere? Just curious because I live in Raleigh.

  8. Your mantle looks lovely. I think it is perfect whether your house is up for sale or not. Ours is up for sale as well and I'm struggling with just how to decorate this year. I love your lanterns.
