Before and After: Fireplace Vignette

Remember this little guy? Well, he’s found his home.
This was alright. Pretty simple, but not really doing it for me. Time to get a more layered eclectic look. So…
Ta-da! See the little greyhound working hard holding up our family albums and books? Going up the wall has given us the opportunity to include some family photos, and the framed sculpted paper art, makes it a little more special.
The vase, “E”, and floral tea light holder were already there, the books migrated to the mantle, and some natural branches add an organic touch. Let’s take a step back and enjoy shall we?
The 12″ depth of the mantle leaves it open for a few different options.
So there you have it. A very simple before and after. Hang a couple of photos, add a few books, but a very different look no?

That is the perfect grey for my wall. Do you have the name of the colour handy? Thanks!
