Fall 2013 Mantle

This is my first mantle decor! This is very exciting because the last house didn’t have a mantle so I finally have one to decorate. Unfortunately, due to the lack of unpacked decorative items, it’s sort of a mash-up of whatever I could find. Vintage books, grapevine pumpkins, sticks with dried orange berries, jute spears, an art nouveau illustration, and a vintage pocket watch in a cloche. It worked out nicely that the primary colors are orange and yellow, with natural browns and tans – very fall indeed. It’s certainly not bad for being thrown together in a pinch, and it’s just in time for Thanksgiving!
