What do you think?

Mantle project:

found this wall paper online...I like this color...
this will be the top header part...

this is another tile option for the inside and sides...I really, really like it...

amd then there is this one...it all has a tuscan feel and wallpaper is easier and less expensive to do than the tiles themselves...now I just need to make a decision...but which one???...leave me a comment and let me know what you think...

My $10 rummage sale find...

the mantle...last week...Rebecca called me on her lunch hour...she was out running to rummage sales...she found the mantle...asked how much it was...I heard the lady say $10 and she decided she didn't need it...I asked her for a description...I said for $10...nab it...I'll take a chance on it...if I didn't like it...I would resell it...
she delivered it tonight...I like it...put it in the kitchen...the only wall in the house available right now...if I keep it...will retile the bottom half...pull out the fake logs...line the bottom with bricks...and set candles in groups inside there...the top is hinged for storage and the backside has shelves for secret stashes...

For those doubting Thomases out there who didn't believe...

...that Mr Wiggles helped picked peppers should have seen him trying to take out a green tomato or chew on the little peppers this afternoon...I tried to tell him we pick peppers green and tomatoes red...but I don't think he understood the concept...
