FALL MANTLE 2017

Hello friends.

I hope your week is going well.

In the last couple of weeks I have been slowly decorating our home for Fall. It took me a while to get the bins down from storage and I have been selecting here and there what I wanted to use this season.

It is amazing how much Fall decor you can collect through the years! :)

I have been taking my time, since our temperatures are still in the very high 90's and it is hard to get into the

 Fall decorating mood.

My kitchen and family room are almost done, so today I am sharing with you our Fall decorated mantle.

It is very simple since this year I decided not to go overboard. :)

I mostly used items I already had to decorate our mantle for Fall. The only things I purchased new were the "Thankful" wood letters at Kirklands and the two orange rope pumpkins at Ross. 

On each end of the mantle I placed the old glass jars from Homegoods with some leaf branches and the lanterns I bought at Kirklands years ago.
I left our homemade shutters on the mantle to create a backdrop for the lanterns.

On the hearth you will find the the sign I purchase last year, my old orange pillow and a metal container 
filled with acorns. All items I already had.

And next to the fireplace I have the Fall subway frame I made a long time ago

And that is it! Quite simple, but enough to give the family room a cozier feeling for the new Fall season.

I have been working on the kitchen decor and also making a few things for the front porch, so I will share those 
as soon as I am finished.
Meanwhile, have a wonderful day and I will see you all soon. 
Take care!
