A bit of the old country

The best part about having a fireplace? Decorating the mantle.

Mine is problematic because the space above the mantle goes up so high, so the framed photos I had there weren't cutting it. So this weekend I finally got around to framing an old map I had, and the results are quite delightful.



The truly best part of this is that the map is actually a high-end piece of wrapping paper. It cost about 5 bucks. Pricey for a piece of wrapping paper, super cheap for a frameable map.

Delight.

That map is fabulous! I love the entire vignette, but that globe really makes the scene more enjoyable.

Thanks! I smile every time I walk in the room and see it.
