A Mantle for Christmas

When we moved into our home in 2001, I was so excited to have 2 fireplaces. But there was 1 major detail missing from both of them...a mantle ! Each Christmas we have had to nail our stockings into the wall near the fireplace. (which creates little holes that I don't like)

But this Christmas is different and new. We have a MANTLE up and I am THRILLED beyond measure. I have found myself sitting and just gazing at the mantle with the stockings hung over the fireplace. I absolutely LOVE it ! I couldn't be more pleased. I am so thankful to my wonderful husband for making the room complete.
