What’s a fantel you ask?It’s just my little table that I use as a fake mantel until we get a real-live, grown-up mantel of our own some day.Chris made it for me last year out of some barn wood (off the barn out back) and some old two by fours that he took out of one of our walls.

I still can’t get enough of it!.This year for decor, I did bright, happy, kid-friendly stuff in the living room and more subdued stuff in.

I tried to make this fantel bridge the two styles..

I filled in the space above with some burlap and.First, take a pair of scissors and cut down in between the rows of bristles to help release any of the tangled up pieces of hair.. Next, grab yourself a big bowl, some baking soda, and the essential oil of your choice.

Lavender, Eucalyptus, Lemon, and Tea Tree oil are all known for their cleaning and disinfecting properties so they’re all good choices..Fill the bowl up with warm water and add in about 1/2 cup of baking soda, stirring it so it dissolves completely.

Add in about 20 drops of your essential oil of choice.I grabbed the lavender to use for this project, so that’s what’s in the picture, but when I opened the bottled I discovered it was empty!
