Ladies Mantle

Although our house is pretty much a work in progress.... One area that is complete (nearly) is the main bedroom.

I love the fireplace including its mantle...... It is the girliest place in the house ...

I adore flowers especially Roses, what else can you fill a fireplace with.

Across the Mantle, we have some special treats.


oops  need to polish the mirror!
I love the mix of old and new. My bottles of perfume, tealight holders which look amazing in the dark, vase for my pins and brushes, vintage rose prints and postcard and a lovely old box...



The box is handmade to look like a row of tiny books, inside it contains my makeup!! (and a secret compartment)


A wonderful surprise was the print of the roses, it was in a frame that my daughter bought for £1, she only needed the frame and gave me the prints.



The vintage postcard is of Godshill on the Isle of Wight and is 100 years old and was a fab Christmas pressie.

Currently this is my favourite part of the house!!!
