 Hi, I'm Ty Pennington, and this is another one of Ty's Tips. Are you tired of looking at your too small to hold much boring old mantel? Do you dream of a roaring fire beneath an impressive and ornate shelf boasting portraits of the lord and lady of the manor? Sorry, got carried away there. But the thing is, mantels do more than just hang stockings and old photos. They enhance the most prominent feature in the room, the fireplace. And updating a mantel is a pretty simple do-it-yourself project.
