Fireplace Mantel Decor

 

Vintage Books, Seeded Eucalyptus, and a Bit of Sparkle...

Picture
Vintage engineering books, seeded eucalyptus, mercury glass, and some printer's type set letters all came together to don our winter fireplace.  It all started with a box of vintage engineering books that belonged to our good friend, Joe Bonk, who passed away last March.  His wife, Janet, was "excavating" Joe's room, and feeling a lot overwhelmed.  She turned to me and said, "and what am I going to do with these old engineering books?"  I immediately replied, "Vintage books are really hot in home decor.  I'll take them."  We packed the books and I'm sure Janet thought I was crazy.  They were old, weathered, and some were missing parts of covers.  They were PERFECT!

The inspiration for our warm, winter fireplace makeover all began with a box of vintage books,...seeded eucalyptus, some sparkle, and printer's type set letters.  Check it out.
