I am redoing my fireplace and need a mantel but I don't want to spend the money. They can't be that hard to make, right? Do you have any plans for building a mantel?
Yes, please! The mantel was missing from our fireplace when we moved in, and it is screaming for one. And now, so am I! LOL It can't be that hard, Ana--whatcha got?
Honestly, I know I've seen plans for a few on hgtv.com so I'd check there. Similar to a crib design, I'd be leary of posting a mantle plan just for safety & liability reasons ;)

She had this post for a faux mantle - not sure if you'd need the whole thing, but it's worth looking at: http://ana-white.com/2010/12/f.....where.html
