Updated Christmas mantel

Do you ever walk by something that you decorated and think that it just doesn't look right?   I have been walking past my sitting room for a few days now and the fireplace mantel is bugging me.  My sitting room is right before the master bedroom so I walk by it several times a day.   I feel like I needed something behind the decor.  Well, I think I have the solution.

I know that it is not a big change but I think that it changed it completely.  Here is the before.

I am totally liking the screen that I put behind everything.  Now all that I need to finish in here is the hearth area.  I have to say that I really like this better.
