Faux Fireplace Redo


Hello,

Today I made a new Victorian look fireplace, well I added to my faux fireplace with bits and pieces of things from around the house to make it sorta look like a Victorian.

I had my son hoist my sofa table on the top of the mantel, I added a mirror from my Bunny Tales Cottage shed, put another little shelf that was laying around collecting dust bunnies on the very top. I than added decor, a Victorian piece on the front of the fireplace and an iron chippy shabby chic piece that was originally a candle holder I bought at a yard sale for a buck. I took it apart and added it to the front of the sofa table.

I painted everything white, except the iron chippy shabby chic piece. I want it to stay shabby.

I'm going to add some lace across the front of the sofa table, just underneath about 4" wide, the length of the table, where the iron chippy piece is.

Now I can't decide if I want to add wood legs on the front of the faux fireplace and another thin shelf on top of them. I thought it might be cute with tea cups sitting on it. Still deciding. That's about it. Smile another day in my life. :o)
