Do It Yourself Mantel
Here is my hand made Fall Mantel. My inspiration came from another great Pinterest pin!
A trip to Lowes for wood, a few cuts with the saw, some stain, add some antique looking accessories, and it's done. I really like it. Goes well with all the dark, warm French Country look I have in our home. Can't wait to transform this into a "spooky" mantel for Halloween!

For some contrast between the top boards and bottom board, I decided to stain the
top pieces much darker. Then distressed the top boards to "antique" them a bit.
I will be honest. The sconce was bought at an antique store. You can buy them in the raw at your local home improvement store and paint and distress them yourself, but when I saw this beauty, I couldn't pass it up.
The weather will be getting cooler here in Texas, so I hope to get back out in
the garage working again.
Thanks for visiting!
