A Very Simple Fall Mantel

After my trip to Vancouver, I turned right around for an unexpected trip to Dallas last week.  I’m finally back and still getting all my ducks in a row as they say.  We’re embracing fall like temperatures in the mornings these days.  I can attest for the 53 degree weather as I sit on the screened in porch with my coffee and blanket.  I had decorated for fall prior to my trip and here’s a look at our fall mantel…

IMG_5580When I say, “a very simple fall mantel,” I mean it!  I just noticed a client’s chair (which tuned out to be fabulous) in the background, oops, and the “flying” bat is part of Elizabeth’s Halloween party decorations she’s been planning!

IMG_5582I took faux silk garland and draped it on top of the mantel.  And then I added the twigs!

IMG_5575I absolutely love the addition of the twigs!  It adds a sense of dimension and elegance, and it’s straight from the yard!

IMG_5572Because our home is already so layered, I tend to scale back with holiday decorations.  This very simple fall mantel adds just the right amount of fall inside our home!

Enjoy the day!
