We're thinking of moving house soon, so of course I've been noticing all the things I love about our current home. It's certainly a quirky house, with alcoves, and sloping ceilings etc.
One of my favourite pieces is the large chunky mantelpiece. It's so useful as a surface, and I love to take photos of it through the year.
Today it's got a thank-you card for Amy from one of her friends for going to their birthday party. There's also a printed out digi LO, some Transformers (a story in themselves), as well as a couple of photos of us. Just beside the train is a Drumstick lipbalm, which does taste a bit like the lolly, but is actually really sticky.I really think a mantelpiece would be on my list of must-haves for our next house, I love how it can be dressed up for any occasion.

I love mantelpieces too! Mine has my first's husband's flag, tons of photos and everyone's diploma.
Nice post. I also love our mantlepiece and am thinking of trying it as a photo spot for some off my layouts in the future.

so much nicer than mine - which is a nasty little narrow one!! Hubby says we can decorate after christmas in the lounge so hoping for a new one then!!
This house didn't have one when we moved in and I soooooooo missed the lovely one I used to have. I now have one, perhaps not what I would have chosen if money had been no object but it does its job and I too love dressing it for different occasions.

It is a gorgeous mantle piece love all the different photos of it:)
Mantels are so cool. I love how yours changes with the seasons.
Great post, we don't have a mantle, we had them removed, but they were not very attractive. Something I will be looking for when we move.
