My Christmas House - Missing Mantle

We have no fireplace, and consequently no mantle at our house. I'd love to have a fireplace, but we simply don't have room. But in truth, we rarely used the one we had in our previous home. What I missed most was a mantle for display. My solution is to treat the top of this china cabinet as a mantle. It even allows a place to hang our stockings. I change the display according to the seasons.

If you too are missing a mantle, open your mind to a piece of furniture or a shelf that might do just as well.
