It makes your room seem just that much more important, by taking your eye up!...I just think that adding moulding & large base to a room is like adding jewelry to a dress!....So very pretty! And also, I received my Country Home in the mail...and immediately dog-earred that very page!!!! I adore that idea!!! Must do it!!! Let me know where you are thinking of adding a little phrase?.......Enjoy your weekend! And I posted about the Scooterblu Award tonight! Thank you...such a sweet idea! ...heidi XOHeidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00486014228700868893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227602705016929287.post-35626811204280110512008-08-29T17:46:00.000-02:002008-08-29T17:46:00.000-02:00beautiful mantel!!beautiful mantel!!THE SANDY DOG BAKERYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10273708762703538457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227602705016929287.post-90114776976601843382008-08-29T13:24:00.000-02:002008-08-29T13:24:00.000-02:00Hi Rhonda, I love what your doing to your home.

Your mantle is beautiful and I love the heavy look of the molding you're using. It makes me want to do more in our home. We only put in a little trim when we built the house and added more a couple of years ago. I'm ready for more and yes I know that feeling of relinquishing of control and I try to keep my mind on how it will all look when any project is going on. But isn't easy.<BR/><BR/>I love the idea from the magazine! Now I need to figure out where to use this.<BR/>A belated happy birthday to Ashley.<BR/><BR/>Have a wonderful weekend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227602705016929287.post-71578483646215133282008-08-29T11:06:00.000-02:002008-08-29T11:06:00.000-02:00The mantle looks so much better.

If a picture frame is angled wrong I can't resist moving it back!! Terrible! But oh my that fireplace! It looks completely different and really changes the look of the room- it looks more "you"!!! It is gorgeous! The moulding is going to look fantastic! I can't wait to see the finished result. I am with you on the strangers in your house too. I am glad we never have to hire anything done because Marc and I do everything ourselves..........of course it takes ten times as long too. Always a positive and negative to everything- it's all in the attitude!!<BR/>Have a great one!<BR/>HUGS<BR/>Heather :)Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11532317885585434894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227602705016929287.post-17772730181930669332008-08-29T00:11:00.000-02:002008-08-29T00:11:00.000-02:00Hi Rhonda!
