Fall Mantel

For this weeks Met Monday I decided to share a closer look at my fall mantel. Above is my every day mantel. Just by pulling some of my regular items down and adding some fall fare in the form of pilgrims, pumpkins and fall foliage I instantly changed the feel of the mantel.

Tying some fall ribbon around the candle sticks was an easy way to dress them up for fall.

I think this tole tray evokes fall with its warm colors. A friend from the HGTV message boards sent this lovely tray to me. She is a talented lady, this was hand painted by her.

I have had these pilgrims for 19 years. My mother in law brought them from New Hampshire for me on a trip she took there.

Hope you have enjoyed my mantel makeover. For more wonderful transformations visit Susan at Between Naps on the Porch I hope everyone has a blessed and warm week!
