Anyway, Brian decided to build a box for the top piece so if I change my mind (or the next homeowners hate it) we can just take it off and go back to the original mantle.
He also added in 3 strips of wood along the front to match the existing ones along the side. I painted the brick black (was gray) and repainted the mantle in white.
Please ignore my mantle decorations, I fail big time in this area.
Before (sort of, we don't usually have the painters tape there).
After:
Awesomeness. Thanks Layla for the inspiration!
