Our fireplace has a very large surround and really long mantel (96") it's really just a board on top of the surround and I'd LOVE to change it out and make it look more like a traditional mantel/surround but one thing I've learned from living in various quarters/homes you gotta work with what ya got .....

I love the glittery ornaments from Gatherings on the Prairie, the pictures really don't do them justice but I hope you like my mix of fancy and plain!
The Home blocks are from Cypress Bridge our local home decorating store that is lovely and has the best scented candles EVER! The wreath is Nativity ornaments I collected at Kathe Wohlfarht in Germany.
