Spring Mantle and Ralph Alert.......

I thought that I would give you a peek at my spring mantle since I will soon be changing it out for summer.
  First, I put up one of my favorite old windows that I found in an alley and then layered a wood piece that one of the dealers in our store had brought in and was selling for $5.00.  It did not look like this when I got it and of course, I forgot to take a before photo so I  flipped it over to the back so you can get an idea of what it looked like before I painted it.  I finished it off with some of my favorite silver trophies, old books and some mercury candlesticks that I got on sale at Marshall's for $10.00 each and a white wreath.

This is my Spring Mantle.  The arched shutter was raw wood when I got it, this is it after it was painted, the photo below will give you a idea of what it looked like in it's "before" state.

I forgot to take a photo of the shutter before I painted it so I just flipped it over to give you a idea of what it looked like.

This is what it looked like after.

Finished Mantle!
