First time commenting... <br /><br /><br />Your home reminds me of our first Christmas, we built 6 years ago. No paint, nothing hung over the mantel. Now, 6 years later, mostly everything has been "filled in". Just did a similar post yesterday on my blog.

I never understood those lightweight mantel hooks - useful only when stockings are empty. My mother always did the same - used nails on the wooden mantel. What to do with the stone? Hmm.<br /><br />You will get things sorted eventually.
