Look at any home improvement show or DIY program and notice that people are always looking for creative decorating ideas. A theme gaining popularity these days is finding a use for an item that has been discarded and then placing that item in a house where it has not been traditionally seen.

A mantel header and shelf combination or what is referred to as a breastplate mantel, placed above a queen size bed has now been transformed that mantel into nontraditional headboard. A breastplate mantel is a mantel without the legs or uprights. This same breastplate mantel above a fireplace looks in place here also.

Fireplace mantels are always the focal point in a room. Then why can't your headboard be a focal point also, so consider a breastplate mantel for a headboard? Many mantel manufactures custom build shelves and surrounds, so having a breastplate mantel built, as a headboard would not be a problem.

Now where can we find a manufacturer for this product? Searching the world wide web for mantel companies or better yet check out eBay. More and more people are value hunting for products these days from yard sales to flea markets to online auctions, so good luck in this pursuit.

Breastplate mantels usually come with all mounting hardware and instruction included in the box. Fireplace mantels, fireplace mantel shelves and other fireplace accessories do not always end up around a fireplace, so be imaginative! Don't be afraid to explore other options when it comes to decorating. You can find plenty of decorating ideas on the web and in home magazines

Mantel Or Headboard, Depends on the Location
