he built us this mantel addition just in time for the holiday decorating. after all, who doesn't love a mantel decked out in stockings and garland?!
inspired by something i've seen a few years back from the woman i not-so-secretly long to be (minus the prison term), and some slight lack of communication within the house on what we thought it would initially look like, this is what we have. the piece fits the outline of our mantel perfectly and paul "one-up'd" her by adding felt to the bottom so it doesn't scratch. so take that, martha! it'll be held on by small c-clamps and then they'll be hidden with garland. i plan on using that tin-foily looking garland from the 70s or 80s. i do love that stuff.

i'm joking about the tin-foily garland. i despise it.
and on the snow front- no new inches to add to the tally. we have had flurries the last 3 days though.
