Gorgeous! My son just found three old mantels in an old shed while out cleaning up some scrap. They are beyond gorgeous, but thankfully a little smaller than the one that you found.

I have found auctions to be a wonderful source for adding furniture to my home. It's incredible the pieces that some will shun that you can acquire for a mere $2, slap on some paint, change out the fabric, or just give a good cleaning and touch up with a scratch cover.

The boxes are amazing at auctions also. Often in the trashy looking cardboard boxes that go for a dollar or two, treasures can be found. One day I found an antique leather drs bag in a pile of junky stuff. You can see some of my finds at www.theoldblockhouse.com

Absolutely amazing! I love everything about your home. The pallet desk was your first project that I came across. That made me take note and I've been watching and learning ever since. LOVE what you do!

This is gorgeous! I'm still amazed at bicycles being stored in apartments like this. I'd never really thought about what apartment dwellers did with their bikes when not riding.
