Romantic Mantel: Every Room Should Have One

This vignette highlights the Victorian mantel in my apartment's living room. The wall color was inspired by the movie, Marie Antoinette, but the color is called Jamaica Bay (Home Depot). The fake roses were part of a huge flower lot ($5.00) and found at a yard sale (from Restoration Hardware with price tags still attached). Mid-century, McCoy pottery acquired from around the U.S. Mid-century, abstract, Parisian city scape paintings ($5.00 for the pair) found at the monthly, Alameda Antique Fair. The mirror came with my partner of 8-years (he only shops at off price retailers) and was most likely purchased at Marshall's. The vintage iron work was pulled from the neighbor's trash (as they most likely didn't appreciate its beauty) down the street . Thank you tasteless neighbor from down the street.
