Okay, so my mantel is sadly bare. I am not a foofy person, and my style is contemporary/eclectic, but my mantel does need SOMETHING. I had some really cool black and silver swirly branch things of different heights (from the dried flower section of Hobby Lobby, painted by moi) in bud vases on either end, but our cats destroyed them all. So what I need are ideas for things my cats cannot knock off. Ideally I would like them to be things that don't even interest the cats. (The swirly dried-branch things looked amazing, but in retrospect I can see they were too tempting for the cats to resist. Not that they ever tried.)
