DIY Mantel Shelf
01/30/2011
Good friends of FWandD suggested that we document the building of our new mantel shelf. This is the before photo. Our fireplace has probably looked this way since 1988. Thanks to FWandD husbands, brothers, friends, sisters-in-law and fathers...and a three-day weekend get-together...this DIY project took shape very nicely. We used the following link on the diynetwork.com site with deviation as needed and as laziness required. http://www.diynetwork.com/how-to/how-to-make-a-hollow-plywood-mantel/index.html
The men at work. We let them keep the game on so they'd stay motivated. Just kidding.
The finished mantel! Thanks for the labor of love guys! We'll cherish our new home for local artists' work (we're thinking of a horse painting...or maybe a local barn), candles, photos and of course holiday decorations.
