How to decorate your mantel the right way:

1. Remove all that clutter on your mantel, dust and clean if needed
2. Go buy a large beautiful painting or print (see above)
3. Lean the painting or print on the mantel shelf
4. Anchor a few (notice I said a few) items on either side of the artwork
5. Consider your job done!

 

Now go light your fire!
