Art on the Mantel

My fireplace in the living room has had random things perched on the mantel over the past few weeks, like here and here, and I have finally settled on a permanent arrangement (well, I'm sure I'll tweak it for next season, but for now it's pretty permanent!).

I started with some fireplace inspiration, seen here, then went to Goodwill in search of..... something, wasn't exactly sure what.  I came home with a large gold frame and created artwork for the frame here.  Now, I have a new piece of art on the mantel.  And the husband says he likes it.... HUGE plus!!!

Here's a full view of the living room, the fireplace and the mantel...

It's nice to go from this....

Living Room Before

To this....

Art

There were a few things done to the living room to get this far.... it's been painted, you can read about that here and here, the room was decorated, the bookshelf styled, knobs added, a brass lamp and art added, then a gallery wall created and now a spring/summer decoration for the mantel...

See you tomorrow.... I'm revealing the makeover of my son's bedroom!

    Thanks! I've only recently began an obsession with gold.... I think it adds the right amount of sparkle to a room....

    oh my gosh, i'm loving your whole space here. great layering on the mantle. i'm compiling stuff like this to show my coworker for her new house. she doesn't understand layering.

    I love to layer (and lean) things on the mantel.... it's so easy to update the look without having little nail holes all over the wall.

    HI Kristy, I love your living room. I'm in the process of making some changes to ours too. Your living room is so clean, bright and really well put together.

    Well done.

    The next time I read a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I mean, I know it was my choice to read, but I actually thought you have something interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you could fix if you werent too busy looking for attention
