It's finally fall here in Texas!! I'm on the couch now with a blanket and the front door is open letting in all the cool air. A few weeks ago I changed out my summer mantel for my fall mantel. Just about everything on this mantel I already had. I only puchased the pumpkins, picture frame and picture. The rest of the stuff I shopped my house for.
So here's how it all came together.
The pumpkins are from the dollar section at Target. I love the shade of red on them. The ugly owls are from the dollar spot as well from last year. I think they are hideous little owls and they would look so much better spray painted a different color. Maybe I'll get around to it...maybe not.
Our friends down the street had some firewood they were getting rid of. I grabbed a log and had Matt cut it down for candlesticks. I think it adds a natural element to the mantel. (That's me trying to sound like I know what I'm doing or talking about)
The picture frame was an awesome Goodwill find a few weeks ago. It had a gold color on it but I sanded it down to the wood. Now it looks more rustic.
I love the red church picture. It's an Episcopal church in Alabama. I found the picture over at The Lettered Cottage. You can visit over there if you would like to download the picture. I had it printed at Walmart for $5.86 for an 11 x 14 print. It brings a bit of warmth to the room too.
All together I think it looks good. I love all the warm colors and the mix of the natural with rustic elements.
It's fall ya'll!
