I did something kind of crazy.

Hello friends!  Happy Happy Monday!

I am excited and a little nervous to show you what I did this past week....

You MIGHT think I am CRAZY!

Remember my Fantle {Fake Mantle} that I made out of an old cabinet this summer?!

Do you remember its sweet vintage beach-y cottage decor?

Well I know that you may have seen the new looks my mantle got for the fall...

Well......

I made a change once again.

I have NOT yet worked on decorating my mantle for the winter holiday...

That will be happening SOON...

but until then I made a kind of big change to my little FA-NTLE.

I gave it a paint job.

Graphite Annie Sloan Chalk Paint was my friend this week!!!

I think the dark made a huge HUGE change to the look.

My tastes are ALWAYS changing but I think I am really kind of becoming a little crazy about the simple sleek look of the dark look.

My eyes go straight to the mantle----where as before the mantle was just one of many things in the little living room space.  And that my friends is just what I was trying to accomplish!

Alright----I am ready.... lets get some feedback from you!

What do you think?

White is right or bold and black?!

Regardless----I do have to admit that it is fun having a fake mantle because it means I get to make crazy changes AS OFTEN AS I WANT.....

I mean who knows maybe it will be another crazy color a month from now!
