Interior Inspiration: Mantle Styling

Since moving into the new house, I've been thrilled that we finally have a serious architectural detail that has been a huge void in my life up until now: a mantle.  Our fireplace is bricked over and doesn't work, but I'm so happy to finally have a gorgeous surface upon which to put my things!  Here are some shots that are inspiring me right now, and even if you don't have a mantle, these looks could easily spice up a credenza or dresser.
