Let's see...the scroll shutter thingys I've had for years. I believe they came from Michaels. They were white, but once my family/living room walls went from orange to beige, they no longer showed up. Instead of having them collect any more dust in the
I found this neat wall centerpiece when we went on vacation to Vermont. On the ride home, we stopped off in Lake George, NY & I found it there. It was filled with red geraniums, but I knew I would want to change them. Someone obviously made it out of an old shuttered cabinet door & stapled burlap pockets on it. Pretty ingenious...I wish I thought of it! Metal birdhouse from Christmas Tree Shops.
I made the Fall banner from felt.
My wire cloche filled with pumpkins. The metal pumpkin candle holder next to the cloche is dear to me...my daughter brought it to me at the hospital when my son was born, October 2001.
Wooden candleholder & ceramic pumpkin both from Hobby Lobby.
And there she is...my fall mantel 2011!

Your mantle is great, I too love the warmth of the colors of fall. Spray paint is wonderful, great idea to use it on the shutters. I dont always think of paint as an answer for changing something up.
ReplyDeleteLove your fall mantel. I really like the shutters with the burlap pockets. I see shutters all the time at an auction that we attend every Monday. What a great idea to attach the pockets to them!
ReplyDeleteI love your fall mantel! Great job!
