It is absolutely beautiful... and I am inspired to create something similar. I have a fireplace mantle that I thought I would be able to use in replacement of a plain mantle I currently have in my family room... but unfortunately it does not fit the dimensions of the firebox. Then I remembered your project...and I just shared it with my husband. We are sure we can do something similar in my living room. I'll keep everyone posted and make mention who inspired me to do the project! You! Well...it's Christmas Day and want to wish you and yours a Merry Christmas.

I tried to respond to your question and realized that you didn't have a blog...so thought I would answer you here with hopes that you will come back by. The olive green that I have used in my living room was a color that I found on a paint sample at Walmart...called "River Bank". I took the color sample to Home Depot and they mixed it up for me in Behr's paint brand! Sure hope that helps you out!<br /><br />Warmest wishes,<br />ChariChari at Happy To Designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05475994012652473793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993564595448887939.post-42010495570123121082009-12-11T16:12:52.447-07:002009-12-11T16:12:52.447-07:00Your fireplace mantel is gorgeous...love all the d...Your fireplace mantel is gorgeous...love all the decorating you've done with it.<br />I've read all your posts about this faux fireplace and enjoyed them all!Lenorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12947875569801363043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993564595448887939.post-75605233425309109662009-12-10T10:27:39.048-07:002009-12-10T10:27:39.048-07:00I love the fireplace wow it is amazing, you decora...I love the fireplace wow it is amazing, you decorated it so beautifully, lovel the wonderful flower garland...my friend bought a faux fireplace and then bought a heater insert that plugged in and has logs and fire and all and doesl not need an exhaust, She saw it on the devine design show on hgtv, just somethin to think about...love your blog and never get tired of you talkin....Phyllis @Around the Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06518514759461027787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993564595448887939.post-63425933065930977302009-12-10T01:19:23.383-07:002009-12-10T01:19:23.383-07:00Your fireplace mantel is beautiful.

So, needless to say I'm going through bloggers withdrawal. <br /><br />Your fireplace hearth is lovely with<br />the dramatic gold touches. I especially like the chunky Noel and the majestic reindeer. They really make a grand statement against the mantel.<br /><br />I'm so thrilled your Apothecary Spigot Jar made it safely.
