You can tell how thrilled I am at my new fire mantel by the amount of clutter it has accumulated within 2 minutes of being up.
I've wanted one for a while to give our Victorian brick fire a bit of feature and personality, and there's no denying it's one more surface to put stuff on.
We bought this one off an eBay seller (Fire Surrounds) who does standard sizes as well as a made to measure service. For just £52 - including postage - it arrived in 3 days made with beautiful detail and craftsmanship. It's completely solid, all we needed to do was paint it (1x spray can of white satin from Wickes) and mount it with a pair of floating shelf brackets.
The mirror is a thing of beauty from Gallery Reflections, via Achica of course (currently can be found on sale at Brand Interiors).
It's all looking rather festive in our little abode. We never usually bother decorating the house but this year we decided we wanted to get into the Christmas Spirit (and I'm not just referring to the gin). Even though last year was our first in the house, this is our first Christmas not spent surrounded by boxes, paint brushes and DIY tools. Actually, yes we are. Scratch that last comment.
