Show Us Your Life - Mantels

I am linking up with Kelly's Korner again for Show Us Your Life.  The subject today is Mantels.

In our home the area above the mantel was designed to hold your TV.  This really limits the decorating possibilities.  It was hard for me to like it at first because I was so used to the mantel being the focal point in a room.  I do like that I don't have to worry about having a tv stand or big armoire elsewhere in the living room.  I hope a few other girls with TV mantels link up so I can see what they are doing with theirs!

Paint color on our mantel is SW Urban Bronze.

Talk to ya soon,
Angie
