Greetings!!
If we could've pried our fireplace mantel/surround from the wall of our old house and nailed it to the wall here in our new house, we would've! I truly miss it, but, we hope to "beef" up this one a bit in the near future.
Until then, I can't neglect our simple mantel and had fun adding a few Fall touches to it, with things that I already had on hand ... don't you just love free decorating?!
A pretty Fall print that I snagged from Tuesday Morning a couple of years ago, along with our whimsical "GIVE THANKS" blocks, take center stage:
I like "easy" decorating, which is why I love filling inexpensive apothecary jars with petite pumpkins, acorns and leaves:
A simple basket becomes the perfect place to toss a few pillows and add a soft blanket, inviting "warmth!" Annnnd, our "falling leaves" made a return, too!
Instead of buying a new fireplace screen, I propped a metal piece from Kirkland's we had on hand against the glass:
I love the soft glow that the lights hidden behind our "GIVE THANKS" blocks, along with the fireplace, give off at night!
And, "speaking" of Fall mantels, I was very surprised (and appreciative) to see one of Fall mantels (from our old house) included in a fun Fall mantel article from Country Living! Thank you!
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to finish up our kitchen project where the cabinets are now enjoying a lighter and brighter look... yay!
Happy "early" Fall friends and thanks for stopping by,
