My wife always wanted a mantle to hang our stockings on for the holidays and when this plan was posted I showed it to her. She immediately said she loved it and asked me to build it. It fits perfectly in our house along with all of the other projects I have build from Ana's plans. The center part was done with vinyl tiles cut to look like rocks and then grouted to fill in the gaps. We are both very happy with how this project turned out. Definitely one of our favorites.
