My friends Kari and Kijsa are having a mantel party and although I don't have a fireplace I purchased this large shelf to stand in until I do. The stockings get hung here and it is definately the focal point of my living room. (this shelf is huge!) This is the first place I decorate for the changing seasons and it now holds the first Senior picture of the family. So it's like a scrapbook of sorts. Hope you enjoy.

Love the big mirror behind your display. It adds depth and light. Beautiful!
What a gorgeous mantel...I love the look of the old tin ceilings. It calls my name whenever I spot something of that genre. And it calls loud! Nice job of incorporating into your home!

Paula, this shelf is great and definitely serves the purpose of a mantel.
You have great things placed here, and the arrangement of each is so complimentary.
Is that tin ceiling tile under the shelf ?
That's a beautiful shelf! I love seeing pictures of everyone's mantels today. I'm getting so many great ideas. Thanks for sharing yours.
That shelf is incredible!!! Love the collections, and the design of mantel decor on a shelf- perfect inspiration!! Beautiful!!

Hi, Paula, thanks for stopping by. I love those ceiling tin shelves, yours looks great. And congrats on finishing your pretty walkway. I've got a project similar in mind for our backyard.

What a great alternative to a mantel!! It affords you the same versatility and looks beautiful.
By the way, I LOVE that walkway!! I used to have one a few houses ago, and miss it terribly. Right now, we have ugly big gravel! ~~Sigh~~
Hi Miss Paula... Miss you! Im going to do another K&K post with them tommorow. It's on flags. I painted it last night and my house still reaks of the fumes, ugh! It's so worth it though... Do yall have big plans for the 4th? Not us just another day to get things done around the house. Maybe bbq and a few fireworks. Take care , Susie H~
