Now that we have been in our house a solid 2 months I have started doing little touch ups to make it more ours. This is what our mantel looked like when we moved in. Pretty bland and did not stand out at all. 
I was on the Benjamine Moore web site and cam across a Metallic Bronze paint, i knew that was exactly what i needed.
A couple hours later i had my new mantel, and love it..... my first project in my new home! And it turned out perfect.
