Dressing up the Mantel

I decided to change my mantel around a bit. After all of the Christmas junk came down, I decided the stuff I had up there before the Holidays was too FAll/Autumn looking. Those colors work well in this room, but I wanted to lighten it up a bit. I shopped around my house and started with the Ivory plaque over the fireplace. The tall candlesticks were a pewter color and I spray painted them with Rustoleum's Heirloom White and put some glaze on them to age them a bit. I really need to get better about taking "before" pictures... sorry.
