Fall Mantel 2013 {Neutral Fall Mantel Decor}

Hey Y’all!

Happy Tuesday!

I’m so excited to share my Fall Mantel with you today! This year’s mantel incorporates a lot of things that I already had on hand & if you’ve been following this blog for a while, I’m sure many of the items are gonna look familiar. However, even though I’ve done a bit of recycling, I still feel like this mantel is “new” all over again. And let’s face it, when you don’t have to buy much to create a new look in your home, that’s always an added plus. Am I right?! Free decorating is the best kind!

Well, what do you think?! 

You may have noticed that with last few displays, I’ve tried to stick to a somewhat neutral color scheme. This season’s mantel is no different. Our home is decorated in cooler colors, so it’s hard to bring in the traditional fall color tones. Besides, I kinda LOVE the mixture of creams & whites. The natural colors of the baskets warm up the display just a touch & the dried hydrangeas bring in just a pop of color.

You may remember this little owl. I picked him up last year at TJ Maxx & used him in last year’s fall mantel. I thought it was only appropriate to bring him back again this year! 🙂

I love the pretty hues of green & pink that the dried hydrangeas add to the display. My mom has two large bushes at her house & I have a few smaller bushes of my own. Between us, we had a plethora of blooms just begging to be used!

The baskets in the display were all Goodwill purchases. I bought a variety of sizes & shapes to use in my spring mantel earlier this year. The miniature white pumpkins were purchased this past weekend at a local produce store. I just love them!

If you have been following my blog from the very beginning, you may also remember this DIY Pallet Art that I made a couple years ago. It had been stored away for quite some time, but I decided to dig it out for this season’s mantel. I thought it worked well with the color scheme & I love the message it brings to our home. Great daily reminders!

More pumpkins, more hydrangeas….

I always bring in books with every mantel display. They are great for adding height & also bring in more of that natural color.

I’ve used this Mossy Monogram in several different displays. I’m sure you know by now, that I’m quite fond of it! I just always works so well with each display & I love that it adds a little personalized touch to the mantel.

The white bowls & pots that you see on the shelf are from IKEA & Goodwill. I love mixing in the different sizes & styles.

One more hydrangea picture….because it was just too pretty not to include! 🙂

So, that’s pretty much it for this year’s fall mantel decor!

And if you are keeping track, the only thing that I really had to buy for this year’s mantel were the little pumpkins! Everything else was recycled, reused, or picked right out of the yard! 🙂

Happy Fall Y’all!
