More Stuff for the Cubicle Contest

I mentioned in my earlier post about the faux fireplace/mantel I am making.  It turned out much cuter than I thought it would!

I still needed to paint the top to emulate wood.  I had to go to Walmart to buy some dark brown.
Then I painted the back panel (more cardboard).  I think the fire could have been better, but hey, you get the idea.

The mantel will have garland around the edges/top and hopefull hide most of the mantel.  We'll need to keep it light in the middle since there's nothing really holding up the middle box lid.  I don't want it to sag.  I made a sign (which I will post later) that says "Dear Santa, We can explain."  LOL. I was debating between that and the "Define Good" saying.

I can't wait to put it all together.  I'm bringing the pieces to work tomorrow and more pictures will follow!
