My Fall Inspired Mantel

ByJo-Anna Rooney PublishedSeptember 13, 2011March 9, 2023 UpdatedMarch 9, 2023

Decorate for the prettiest season of all with a fall inspired mantel!

Ahhh, it’s fall! There is a chill in the air, and the leaves are changing. Love, love, love it! So I took advantage of a cool, windy day here and made over my mantel! It was time to take down the summery colours, and bring fall into my home! And the best part is, most of the stuff I already had! I only had to buy the pumpkins and squashes. So easy, affordable, and pretty pretty pretty!

For me fall means pumpkins, squashes and earthy accents. I started with a barn inspired mirror as my back drop and got to work!

I gathered some birch wood I took from my parents place, then added some leaves I already had. Put together some mason jar tea light holders. Simple.

I love the little punches of orange, mixed in with the whites, and greens. I don’t like a lot going on all at once, so the little bits of colour make me happy.

Love.

Don’t you just love white pumpkins? They add such a simple funky touch!

Very very simple. Just the way I like it.

I use these twigs for all seasons and holidays.

Here’s what it looks like at night with all the candles lit. Cozy!

Thanks for coming on my little tour! What are you working on? Do you decorate for fall? What is your style?

Those pumpkins down at the bottom would definitely be dragged away by a little dog in my house. 😉 Seriously, though, it looks great. 🙂
