Thanks, Angela! I really appreciate that. My hubby surprised me with it, and I think it makes the most of a very atypical living room layout.]]> In reply to Angela.

Awww! Thank you so much! Yes, I love that pen and ink sketch. I've thrifted it several years ago from Goodwill and have been in love with it ever since! Not sure who it depicts or who the artist is, but he's so cool! :)]]> In reply to Donna J.

Literally squealed for joy at work as I was catching up on blog posts this morning. I am “Waiting in the 80’s”, and yes, long time reader/fan here. I used to comment myself as “Emily (Not Henderson)” on blog posts back in the day that didn’t differentiate between commentors and author in order for people to not think I was THE Emily Hendo chiming in lol. And yes, my husband is way cooler than me. I show him every time a picture is featured on here with a Paul McCobb chair ha. But on to the mantle – thank y’all so much. I am definitely excited about painting the mantle a darker color. I would love a plant up there, but I am afraid it would not get enough sunlight so will have to explore those options. I’ve known I need to pare down the items on the shelf and so this will give me another push to undertake that. Thank you all again so much! Also, if anyone has similiar high/large mantles and have styling ideas please let me know!

I see lots of agreement with this comment from Julie S and I get it but I'm also all in with this series being presented the way it is. Sure, if there's an expert in rendering on the team with the bandwidth to make it happen, that would be great but they'd also need to ask readers to submit a lot of measurements, etc. I'm here for the discussion around design and sourcing. I'd rather see more reader submissions presented this way than 1 or 2 renders.]]> In reply to Julie S.

Thank you, Jess and the contributors who offered up their mantels for suggestions. My own quirky situation falls into a combination of In Need of Cozy (with a higher raised hearth) and Waiting in the 80’s, so I have gleaned some inspiration. I had debated plants on the raised hearth (current version) versus the mantle and now I feel ready to switch it up! Thanks so much, and redundant, but I’ll say it again… I love Fix it Friday!
