Even though the weather still feels a lot more like Summer, now that Starbucks is featuring Pumpkin Spice Lattes, it is officially fall! That means it is time to update my mantle. (Yes, I am even a little earlier than last year.)
I even made a banner out of paper dollar store leaves. I just wrote on them with Sharpie:
And my great thrift store find from last year, the Pottery Barn leaf plate:
The rest of the mantle was filled in with other natural things, like pine cones, apples and eucalyptus.
On the floor I used an antique children's chair to feature two pumpkin soup tureens. (One I got on clearance last winter at Pottery Barn and the other was $5 at the thrift store and originally came from Williams Sonoma.)
Now that my mantle is done it is truly:
It turned out so beautiful! I love the idea that it's officially fall once Starbucks rolls out the fall beverages..lol. Genius!

ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful. I have a large leaf like yours in metal, I've always used it as a tray but you've inspired me to use it on my mantle this year. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful mantle project, thanks for sharing and these pics are lovely! For all the autumn lovers this must be pretty inspiring! I like pumpkin towers, bails of hay, tons of mums, new wreath, etc. and will try this too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful mantel, Kim! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks. I am going to work on one that is more specifically "Thanksgiving" but I love that I can leave a generic fall one up for Halloween and Thanksgiving.
