I found this beautiful shelf at a local antique store while browsing on my lunch hour. Yes I even squeeze treasure hunting into my lunch hour. It is kinda pricey (not less than $100) so I cannot justify just buying it outright. The store owner agreed to let me put it on layaway for 6 weeks. I hope to own it in 4 weeks though......
The detail on it is beautiful and the measurements are perfect. I don't have a (proper) mantle at the present time. The fireplace in my home would have to be one of my least favorite fixtures. It has a "Southwest" vibe and really NOT my style. I think this mantle will really soften it and change the entire feel of the room.
This is what my fireplace looks like now :(
I'm considering painting the chimney a different color. I have Dunn Edwards "Quicksand" on the walls and fireplace now but with the addition of the Sage Green mantle, I'm thinking a Cream color on the chimney would accent it nicely. Any suggestions??? You know I appreciate them one and all......
So picture this mantle on my fireplace and a huge smile across my face. Thank heaven for layaway!!!

I think a nice warm darker shade behind it will really bring it out even more and create a more dramatic emphasis on the chimney. Your Phat Friend. =-)

Wow, that will look great! I can't wait to see it! I think once you get it home you will know what color to paint!
I bet you can't wait until you get the shelf. It will look so nice over the fireplace.
