Rearrange Mike's house
Mike from absent.canadian posted this photo of his living room mantle the other day, and while I liked the items he chose and the reasoning for them, I thought the arrangement screamed "bachelor" and he needed some help with arranging.
I photoshopped his stuff into this configuration and told him that it would look even better if he had some more items of different heights, because three of the items were all about the same.
We got to chatting and Mike said that a lot of his post-divorce house could use some help. He thought he would post photos of the current configuration and his blog friends could help him rearrange. I think it is a fine idea.
And don't worry, I already told him that the shoes on the hearth have got to go!

A staple gun on the right side there?
Okay from the very first look I saw the shoes and was like oh no no I know this isn't Jens house....So I am happy that it is that of a bachelors. The mantle looks empty. I mean it has all this stuff but its empty. Taller items, fatter items, different shapes something....And I am with Rob on this one is that a staple gun?
You told him all he things I didn't, lol. Shoes gotta go. Who even lines up their shoes anyway?
Rob and Heather, no, it isn't a staple gun, it is a wooden box made of wenge? I dunno, go visit Mike at his blog and ask him what the hell wenge is.
Mel, great minds think alike! :)
It amuses me that you took the time to Photoshop that stuff into its "proper" place.
A nice tall painting, would be good. Even the cheap kind you can get at a craft store, that looks like a wrapped canvas, leaning against the wall on the mantle would be a great addition.
