Crystal and Candles Mantel

Simple with a bit of rustic and romance is the look of the mantel in the master bedroom.

An old berry garland, entwined with burlap ribbon was the basis.

Three crystal vases were added.   The two on each end
are identical;  the one in the middle
 is  larger and elevated a  bit.

Inside each vase  candles are lit for a soft glow.

It's  actually snowing just North of us, so 
we may be in store for a fire tonight.

Until next time, Honey

    So pretty, and how fun to have a fireplace in your bedroom. It is a cold and blustery day in TX today and that would come in handy!

    I guess, this is my first time to visit your blog.

    What a wonderful place. I love the crystal candle vases. I always adore cut crystals/glasses. It's something that attract me.

    Great job.
