New Mantel

Mantel old vs. new. What do you think??












More pictures!! Here's one with some vases, the chair, and the dog, for scale. My little vases look sad don't you think? What should I put on top of this mantel?

Here's some close-ups of the moldings we used. Note that this is the same crown molding that would put up on the ceiling and the same baseboard that will go around the whole room.. of course the rest will be painted white...
