WOW! Thank you for bringing my thread to 'life' again! I haven't been on here in awhile and I was thrilled to see it pop up again! Thank you! The room still looks the same, just more baby toys! But I am having a party in a few weeks and I would like to spruce it up! lmayer- I have been trying to decide for the last few months about the window treatments and I am leaning more toward roman shades and I think a nice splash of color would be nice...any ideas? I can't part with the spiral votive holder...I decided to somewhere else in the house. katy texas- oh, I just LOVE that print...I had no idea they had a poster of it! This makes it MUCH more affordable for me!!! I'll show hubby. neesie- fabulous idea! Thanks. It just looks SO bare especially since we still haven't purchased any doors or screens for it yet. I would LOVE to get some more ideas from everyone, I'm having SUCH a hard time with this room. It's getting there though....

Totally agree with LALA ... with your mantle being so wide and close to the ceiling, I think a layered look would be perfect. You could even incorporate the two white pieces in your picture with the vignette. I like a mirror being the focal point (as in LALA’s first pic), but here are some other looks below. If you a search for ‘layered fireplace mantle’, lots of good inspiration comes up. Basically, with so much horizontal shapes in there, you’ll want varying heights of things for the most interesting look.

what type of style mantel is this called?

I need help decorating my corner fireplace. it is in my family room. Prefer to keep the family picture, unsure what to use with it. thanks for ideas. photos attached
