New Mantle

Edit: Yes, that's a mirror on top, it has a shelf on top of the mirror and tow round shelves on either side. The trim matches some of the trim on our banister. Tom is thinking about building it out of the wall with oak and putting some sort of heating underneath it then. The other option would be to cut a hole in the wall. We have been talking about adding a fireplace for a long time now, so it is exciting for both of us.



We got a new mantle curtesy of our (old) next door neighbors. They lost their house after their mother died, couldn't afford the payment anymore. They're still coming by to clean up and somehow Tom managed to convince them to give us their mantle, which was original to the house. This is exciting for him as he is trying to restore as much as possible back to original.
