Name: cindy Title of Question: what to decorate a mantel with? Question: I have a fireplace with a mantel. I know what to do at christmas time but am lost the rest of the year. any suggestions. Post Your Answer To The Question Above: Name: Your Answer: Name: JH | Date: April 3, 2008, 2:46 pm | Answer: I have five ceramic blue and white transferware pieces ( you can look it up on e-bay). One is a chinese ginger jar style, one is a large bowl in the center of the mantel, two are plates on stands(one oval and one is rectangle) and at one end is another smaller ginger jar on top of two hardcover books (without jackets)because the last jar needed some height. Above the Mantel is a piece of art work. I would avoid pieces that are too small and the rule is to group or use things in odd numbers. Pottery, baskets, chunky candlesticks are suggestions. Purchase a few magazines and look for ideas.
