The two parts after "either...or" are not parallel: "she will hang it on the wall" (a full clause) vs. "rest it on the mantel" (verb phrase). Fix by making them match, e.g. "either she will hang it on the wall or she will rest it on the mantel" or "either hang it on the wall or rest it on the mantel."
