The Gold and Glam Fall Mantel

Happy Monday everyone I hope you had a great weekend! I’m so excited to reveal our Fall Mantel today! I’m calling it my goldy-glam mantel because of all the sparkly gold. There’s just something about gold (real or fake) that makes everything feel fancier right? Anywho, here she is all glammified.


I love the new mirror I got from Kirkland’s because it’s substantial in size, and looking back I think I’ve been using mirrors that were too small above the mantel! By the way, this is my “fake” mantel if you are new here to my site. :) Then flanked the ends with 2 large vases and some red berry filler and I love the size of those too.

I bought those 2 owls at Homegoods and they were originally dark brown, so I just spray painted them with a metallic gold spray paint.

And next to the owls I just put some vase filler in my 2 large cloches I already had. So simple! And yes, you’ll notice I went for symmetry again on this mantel. I just can’t help it. Me and symmetry are like two peas in a pod. We just get along well. :)

I have to give big props to my husband for hanging up my garland for me. Yes, I said my husband.

It’s like ummm, perfect, and that’s why I had him do it. :) My garland is just the $2.99 strand from Hobby Lobby in the Christmas section. Then I found some pretty copper pinecone ornaments to hang in between. I love how it came out because it’s just like what I had envisioned in my head!

He hung everything up with the tiny command hooks and picture wire.

The ornaments are hanging just on their regular ornament hooks.

I took my dough bowl and filled it up with glittery pumpkins and gourds and my giant antique acorns that I got last year.

And here are a few more full shots for ya.

So what do you think? Are you loving gold this year too?  I always love white/silver at Christmas time, but I’m thinking a gold tree would be pretty awesome. We’ll see what happens with that! :) In the meantime though, I’m loving the more traditional Fall colors on our mantel this year.  And while I don’t have tons of orange or pumpkins on the mantel, it doesn’t mean it’s not seasonally appropriate. I think it screams Fall in a more elegant way than I normally do! And see, I told you I love several different looks. :)

Also, If you want to check out my other Fall Mantels you can view them in this post. Linking this post up to Kate’s Fall Mantel Party.

xxoo,

    Love, love, LOVE…..truly, it is STUNNING! And here I was feeling all sorry for myself because I don’t have a mantel, until I saw the last picture and discovered it is just a shelf that LOOKS like a mantel. And now I love it even more. :-)

  2. Jessica @ Home and Faith says

    You know, I have never been much of a gold person, but this is beautiful! And I think I could incorporate this into my home! I agree, it’s a much more sophisticated/elegant way of decorating for fall than we normally see. Great job!

    Oh I absolutely love this fake mantle idea. I may have to try this, I really want a mantle to decorate :) of course, the fireplace would be nice too.
    Your mantle display is just fabulous.
    Happy Fall,

  9. Lori m says

    Simply stunning, you do have a great talent for designing.

    My husband finally agreed to a fake mantel, I’ve been bugging him since seeing all your beautifully decorated displays. Now I just need to decide what I’d like.

    Hugs, Lori m

    Love it! I’ve always liked gold and silver too. I’m putting both in my bedroom re-do. Maybe a bit glitzy but hey, as far as I’m concerned, if I like it, it’s ok. :) Seriously need a mantle/shelf like that! You always do so many neat things with it. This display is beautiful! The garland really is great.

    Beautiful mantle, the garland is so well done, I love the idea of using the beaded garland and adding the pine cones. It’s gorgeous, I love it.

  16. Trude says

    It definitely says fall for sure! Love the color scheme, so lovely with that antiqued shelf/mantel. I think I love the glittery little pumpkins most. :)

  19. Ami Allison says

    Oh my GOSH!! It’s GORGEOUS, Emily!! I love how the mirror some how transforms in my mind and looks like it’s encircled with little circles of wood. isn’t that funny? But, it totally does. AND just when I thought that garland wasn’t “in” anymore, you go and prove me wrong! ;)

  21. Mrs. Handyverger says

    Love it! The gold owls are just fantastic, and I love the whole gold theme you’ve got going on there. Very autumn-glamtastic! :-D

    Stopping by from Centsational Girl’s mantel party! :)

  22. Anita says

    I have that same mirror over my mantel and I just love it! You can dress it up or down during any season. I love your faux mantle, by the way. I want one to go over my spa tub in the master bath. Need something to warm up all that tile!

  24. KC says

    Hands down from all the fall mantels linked to the Centsational Girly fall mantel party, yours is my absolute favorite! I keep revisiting it for inspiration. Thank you so much for sharing!

  27. Diana says

    I love it! I don’t have a real mantel either. I automatically go for gold during Fall, it’s such a gorgeous way to bring out the natural elements. Very glam but not froo froo. It’s perfect!

  31. Annie says

    I love your Fall Mantel! Where did you find the actual mantel? I just have a small wall shelf but I’m looking for something bigger and bulkier, like what you have… but I can’t find one! Urgh! Please share! Thanks!

  33. Toni says

    I love the fake mantle!! And it’s decorated so beautifully. We have a pellet stove and often wondered if I could put something like that behind it but in the end I think that would look dorky. But I could put some floating shelves on either side of the vent pipe. Hmm, I’ll have to think about that a little more. Way to inspire us :-)

  34. retirement planning says

    At retirement, two choices are there for that retiree.
    Nonetheless, diligence has to be taken in order to acquire the silver bullions which fulfill
    the specifications imposed from the Internal Revenue Service which can be at least 99.
    Experts have thought about the gold and silver as savior in crisis.

    Trends show investment in these commodities to get highly risky.
    Similar on the gold Individual Retirement Account, a silver Individual Retirement Account can also
    be physically possessed.

  35. halong cruises says

    Most people have heard of this island chain because they have
    heard of Darwin, the scientist who was primarily responsible for the creation of the theory of
    evolution. The area is so amazing it was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994.
    Thus choosing a good cruise agent will help tremendously.
