Fresh and updated and...VERY nice job on the mantel! Fresh and updated and classic all at once.<br /><br />My husband and I have a hearth products store... so decorating above mantels is not new to me. Here's a tip for you on hanging mirrors - whether above a mantel or just on a wall.<br /><br />Any mirror that's hung above eye level will reflect the ceiling of the room as you look at it. It's all in the angles. BUT, if you hang a mirror so the top of the mirror is away from the wall, and the bottom of the mirror is against the wall, it will reflect what is in the room. WAY more interesting. An easy way to do this is to put a couple of eye screws in the sides of the mirror frame, but below the vertical halfway point of the mirror. String picture hanging wire between the eye screws, and then hang the mirror on that. By having the lower point of attachment, the mirror will angle away at the top.<br /><br />The other thing we have done is to actually put two hooks on the mirror (like the old style used to hook a screen door closed), and eye screws on the wall. Then we hook the mirror onto the eye screws.<br /><br />This all assumes you won't be moving the mirror too often! I hope this made sense! Keep bringing the great ideas -- I love them!!Marilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04390857014603746389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-53307707275558374792011-05-30T20:03:03.210-04:002011-05-30T20:03:03.210-04:00Love it!

Looks great and very fresh- very much reminds me of a personalized version of a PB display in a good way. <br />I am with you on the corner fireplace. My mom has one- it's a large brick fireplace set into a corner, but the wall above it is finished at an angle too- so there is no recessed corner behind/above the mantle. I think it makes it look more seamless because instead of looking like the firebox part is stuck in a corner with a corner above it, it looks like just a room with angled corners. Hard to describe. But it gives you that flat wall above your mantle to display things like any other flat walled fireplace. Have you ever thought of either DIYing or havinga contracter put drywall diagnally across that corner for that kind of effect if you hate your mantle? My mom's crown finishes across it and it's a really built in look for a corner fireplace. Just a thought.<br />Anyhow, love your mantle scape!Erinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-75956822044012616022011-05-29T16:42:57.069-04:002011-05-29T16:42:57.069-04:00Wow - that looks amazing!!
