I need help with our mantle. One day we will redo the whole thing but for now it is what it is. I have picture frames on it now but I don't think they work. Would candles on each side work? Thinking clusters, 2 on one side, maybe 3 on the other. It isn't very wide, maybe 5". The black boxes are speakers so they are staying till we can afford new speakers for the walls.

Picture is from Christmas so ignore the stockings.

Also we are getting a new fireplace screen. Just haven't replaced the one the precious owners left.
