I had a love/hate relationship with that thing. I loved the shade it provided us in the heat of our Virginia summers but I absolutely hated all the raking that we had to do--nearly nine months of the year. After 4 years in that house I finally made peace with the magnolia tree when I made a simple cardboard wreath shape and hot glued the beautiful golden yellow leaves in a layered sunburst around the wreath form. All the stems were in the middle and the leaf tips pointing out. It was stunning!!! I knew the leaves would turn brown and they did.... But here we are a year later, with a lot of caution when we moved, I still have my wreath. A few leaves have broken off but otherwise, it looks beautiful still.<br /><br />Your mantel is gorgeous!LeAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05687205705045519701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-34903807427560298602012-12-08T21:43:00.338-05:002012-12-08T21:43:00.338-05:00Your mantel is beautiful - I would love if you wou...Your mantel is beautiful - I would love if you would stop by to link up to the Christmas Mantel Linky Party happening now!<br />Stacey of Embracing Change<br />http://staceyembracingchange.blogspot.comStaceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02937925666890282193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-20081511819490248532012-12-08T10:15:39.732-05:002012-12-08T10:15:39.732-05:00Beautiful!

I just used evergreens, pinecones, green apples, tealights and votives and tapers in glass bottles - so mine were higher up - but I love your wood risers that you used! That's going in my memory bank.<br /><br />Your dog is so adorable. I have to get a dog back in my life - I had the best dog in the world for 9 years and he passed away a few years ago right before Thanksgiving. A dog really makes a home - and a great pic by the beautiful fireplace.<br /><br />I am posting my mantle in the linky parties. <br /><br />Happy Holidays!<br /><br />LindaLinda,http://www.thecolorfulbee.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-47398372862367766652012-12-07T15:11:50.576-05:002012-12-07T15:11:50.576-05:00Please tell me the exact color on your walls.

They aren't something we find here in wintery middle of Canada. Seeing your mantle all nicely decorated really makes me want a mantle. We have a gas fireplace, but it's a stove style - so there's not even a way I can fake a mantle, as the chimney gets in the way. :) So - I will just enjoy watching your mantle change from season to season.

I'll bet the mantel is much easier to decorate now, isn't it? I keep thinking, though, that it would be cool if that hollow space in your corner was a secret compartment you could access.
