Casually Elegant Fall Mantel

I absolutely adore fall…..the colors, the scents, the coziness, boots and scarves. Soon the crock pot will be more the norm than the grill.

The mantel in the family room is one of my favorite spots to seasonally decorate. This year I've gone for casual elegance.

Today along with other bHome App members, I'm sharing a touch of fall in our home. Are you familiar with the bHome App? It's a fun and simple way to follow your favorite blogs. You can view their newest posts as well as social media all in one convenient place.

This year I decided to go with a rather neutral mantel and let the oil above be the centerpiece of color and pattern.

I added 3 faux stems to a glass cylinder. I had hoped to use dried hydrangeas, but mine just didn't produce as well this year. I anchored them in the glass with dried white northern beans for stability.

Tucked behind them is my set of tobacco baskets from Décor Steals. They are perfect for adding extra layers to the mantel.

I actually left the large candleholder in the same place. I added a small boxwood wreath from décor Steals as well and placed a gold spray painted pumpkin atop. The pumpkins were found at the Dollar Tree. A little spray paint with twine wrapped around the stem and you have an inexpensive touch of bling added to the otherwise neutral mantel.

The larger pumpkins were from Walmart last year. Just chalk paint them and again hot glue a little twine around the stem. I have quite a few of these faux pumpkins. Some are quite old and have faded. I've been painting them as well to give new life.

The sweet trio of brass owls belonged to my mother-in-law. I have several of her owls. She loved owls and had quite the collection. Now they are so hot!  Such a treasure to use them in our home….a way to remember.

The sweet little printed burlap pumpkins were from Hobby Lobby last year.

A couple of small books complete the look. I removed the covers so they would blend more seamlessly with the mantel.

Candlesticks don't have to be just for candles. With moss, they make a great little base for little baby pumpkins….again from Dollar Tree. Spray paint them with antique white and paint the stems gold and you've got a quick and elegant look.

Now if it would hurry and get fireplace weather…..then my fall would be complete!

Tomorrow I'm be sharing links to all of the bHome App members with fall inspiration for your home!

    You’re lucky I don’t live down there. I would show up unannounced, ask you for a glass of wine, and then when you’re in the kitchen I would swipe the owls. Beautiful mantle, Christy!! XO

Do you change your bedroom for the seasons? I’m Do you change your bedroom for the seasons? I’m a bit loosey goosey about it. I tend to decorate it in a way that will work for a couple of seasons at a time. The easiest way to do this is with pillows! I went a little unexpected color wise for spring because I found these gorgeous pillows @potterybarn and had to use right now! I love a pillow that will do double duty in other rooms as well. These will also work in the family room for a quick change. You can see all the details and more of our bedroom with a rug change by visiting my link in bio to this fun tour with 5 of my blogging friends.

After so many days of clouds and rain, the sun is glorious! Look at that blue sky! I took advantage of the day because I was just too excited to unroll my new @boutiquerugs outdoor rug on the patio! #ad I don't think I've ever been more pleased with an outdoor rug. It has totally defined this outdoor area. While our temps are still all over the place, we are already sitting out here on warm days. Daily outdoor living is right around the corner so now is a great time to take advantage of my discount code SOUTHERNHOME60 to get a sitewide discount on a new rug and more! We are supposed to be 70 today, so I'll be working out here today! Check out my stories for up-close details of this rug.

That quote totally sums up spring in the south! I laughed so hard when I read it. 

Nothing brightens a table like blue and white with pops of yellow! SWIPE to see all the photos. This color combination gets me so excited about the promise of warmer days ahead! ☀ I freshened up our breakfast room with a few new things courtesy of @oldtimepottery #oldtimepotterypartner 

A little old with some new spring finds gave a fresh look to our kitchen table.

I used to make all of the birthday cakes for my ki I used to make all of the birthday cakes for my kids years ago. I’ve never had a class, but you can learn a lot from books and Youtube these days. This is the first one I’ve made in probably 8 years. These little smaller mini cake pans are so fun to make a taller cake. I’ve got all the details on this semi-homemade cake that starts with a box on the blog today along with a few recipes from my friends. Each month we come together to share a simple recipe. 

It’s not perfect, but made with love. 💕 It was a big hit for @ashlyn_little ‘s birthday on Jan 30th. I can’t wait to make another one! You’ll find a link in stories today or visit my link in bio @oursouthernhome to visit the blog.
