Fireplace mantel project

 This is the original fireplace from out 1930's home. Isn't operational but makes a nice decorative piece, I have used it in different rooms. It was out inspiration for the mantel below.
We purchased this mantel at a garage sale this summer it was painted white and had a mirror in the center. What we did, strip and stained, purchased an electric fireplace insert, the black around the insert is a piece of plywood that was painted the silver trim is detailing fro cars, the decals in the corners where for what use I do not know we found a bag of the for a dollar and painted them. I am super pleased with this!
