The Fall Mantel

Well it’s that time of year again…Fall!!  And nothing gets me more excited than to decorate the mantel (and the house) with Fall decor.  It’s just a cozy time of year. :)

This year I went with a rustic look and used lots of natural elements and textures.  I was going to try and do a more modern mantel this year, but every time I see the beautiful classic Fall colors of red, orange, and brown, I just love them and want to use.  Can’t help myself. :)

You’ll see I have my yarn wreath, the Ballard knock-off books, and a lot of my antique goodies on here like the old window, the scale, and the giant acorns.

I found that mango wood bowl at Target on clearance for $11, because a piece of wood was broke. Nothing a little hot glue can’t fix. :)  But the bowl is perfect for my acorns!

I bought the galvanized pails at Garden Ridge for $5 and used them as vases.  I just used the same foliage I had from last year’s mantel, and added some wheat straw for more height.

And my antique scale which I love!

The pumpkin is just sitting on a piece of scrap burlap.  Nothing says Fall like a little burlap. :)

And just a few more…

I love how the mantel colors tie in with the new office curtains too!

And that’s a wrap!  What do you think?  Are you diggin’ the rustic/natural vibe too, or are you going to go more mod this year with your decor?  I love many different styles and colors and it’s hard to choose!

And I’ll be participating in these lovely ladies’ Fall parties which are coming up…

So get ready and link up to Layla’s Mantel Party!

    Just gorgeous! I love how you mixed so many different elements to create a central theme. All the little details really make a very pleasing vignette. Thanks so much for sharing such great inspiration.

    I love this, Emily! This is the shelf I’m getting in a few months :) Promise I’m not copying you! haha. I actually blogged about it about two weeks or so ago. Then, I saw literally a day or two later that you found the same shelf. Isn’t it an awesome ledge?

    You did a great job with yours! I can’t wait to see what you do with Christmas. I’m hoping to have my ledge up before Christmas :)

    Gorgeous as always Emily! Love the stack of books with the pumpkin on top. I’m planning on doing that for my mantle too, just haven’t gotten around to it yet. You are so on the ball!

    It looks LOVELY ! I really love the yarn wreath – so cheerful, yet cozy… as is the whole vignette.

    thanks for sharing,

    Love the mantel…is this something you made or the one from PB that I have been salivating over for a month now??? LOL! Lovely job! BTW, officially a follower…excited to have found you!

    Came here from TLC – It turned out absolutely gorgeous! Love how well it works with that fab antique shelf. So light and bright, while still being fall. Totally pinning! :)

    I love the light and bright feeling of your mantel. The boldness of oranges and yellows often don’t go with real decor and this is perfect. Great eye for creating the arrangement.

    Great Mantel Decor….Fall is one of my favorites and yours is very tasteful! P.S. I’ve seen this “Mantel around blog world..where did you get it Please :)

    Cute! I love how the colors pop against the neutrals. The yarn wreath is really pretty. I made my first one the other day, and now I’m hooked!

    Oh my gosh I was just thinking about your mantel the other day! Wishing I had that cute mantel rather than mine. Not that I don’t love my mantel, ( I actually 5 fireplaces with mantels, but only decorate the one in the family room) but I also have built ins next to it and it never fails that I end up changing them out as well. Yours is just so perfect to decorate, and I would have to say, this is my favorite look you have done so far since you scored the mantel. Great job!

    Great job! Looks beautiful and a lot lighter than the normal fall decor. The colors are beautiful and each piece fits so perfectly together. I love it!
