How to Create a Fall Vignette

I pretty much skip over our bedroom for holiday decorating except at Christmas.

Sadly, I leave our master bedroom mantel the same old same old all the other times of the year. Why you ask……well decorating around a flat screen TV with a fireplace can be a challenge.

You don't want to obstruct the view or interfere with the viewing.

I am so excited to be participating with the Scoop Group in its very first tour. This month's challenge was to create a fall vignette. Be sure to see the entire tour schedule at the end of this post!

This sparked my imagination! Why not show you all how to create a fall vignette around a flat screen TV. I don't know why I haven't done this before. We watch TV frequently as a family in our bedroom…..two in bed and two in the club chairs in front of the bed. Now it is so warm and inviting for our family to enjoy!

fall-mantelTV

The key is to keep things low in front. You are OK as long as you don't get too close to the viewing area. I would recommend keeping things here fairly neutral as to not distract the main viewing event!

master-mante

 A little embarrassed, but it has looked just like this for 9 years!!! ……except for the little Christmas change!

Thanksgiving-tv-mantel

Why did I wait so long? Let's break things down so you can decorate your TV mantel!

Let's begin at the floor. I added my very large olive bucket from Decor Steals. It's filled with a few pieces of drift wood and a throw.  The book/magazine stand was a Restore find that was painted with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. This warms up the space from top to bottom.

thanksgiving-fall-mantel

 For this mantel, I didn't spend a dime! I shopped our home, yard and woods! Add your height on either side of the TV. Here I have used the candle urns from my dining table that were not currently being used. They have an iron base with a bubbled looking amber glass. I even left the wine corks in the bottom. My handy-dandy helper saved the day and took our dog on a treasure hunt with the list I gave her……twigs, cedar limbs, magnolia clippings, boxwood clippings and pine cones. My daughter and lab had a blast. She loves doing this! Due to limited space it this room, it is hard to get a straight on shot and not be in the reflection of the TV screen. The side urns are a little distorted due to the angles, but are really matching in size in terms of urn and greenery.

fall-tv-matel

 Simply start arranging twigs and greenery of your choice. Even just an urn full of twigs is perfect! You can even spray paint the twigs. I placed the urns first and took a look. I like to start with my bigger anchor pieces first.

Next, I moved to the center. I have two of these oval wooden trays found at two different thrift stores at different times in two different states! I was quite excited! It fit perfectly on the mantel. Then I placed my same battery operated flame-less candles from Ballard Designs. I've never wanted real candles right under the TV. My luck they'd flame up and destroy the TV screen! I'm starting to see my vision. I placed two of the large twigs off of each side of the wooden tray. I Knew I wanted to keep the center symmetrical for TV viewing so it wouldn't be distracting.

Notice on either side that I went a bit asymmetrical. 

fall-tv-mantel

 The center is very simple with just the addition of some compact boxwood branches and pine cones…..all simple and low.

The vignette starts to grow out as you get closer to the edges of the TV.

fall-tv-mantel

This is where I go asymmetrical. I covered one book with craft paper and wrapped a piece of ribbon around it. Then I stacked an olive wood mortar and pestle from a trip to France many years ago on top with one little Annie Sloan Chalk painted pumpkin!

I filled in with a couple more painted pumpkins, pine cones and boxwood. Notice I left white areas so there would be obvious space on the mantel.

fall-tv-mantel

I didn't fuss over the urns…..fast, simple and natural was the look I wanted.

fall-tv-mantel

 I did the same on the right side, but added 2 books and a large bookend.

Also on OSH!  Fall Ideas for the Home

fall-tv-mantel

If you want to use real greens for your fall party or Thanksgiving follow these tips.  1) Decorate the mantel in advance with the exception of the greenery, pine cones and pumpkins. 2) Shop your home for items that work well with your mantel and TV.  3) Maybe you want to skip the greenery urns. Place large candlesticks on either side of the TV. Instead of candles place pumpkins or moss balls. Use multiple candlesticks in varying heights. 4) To keep things looking really fresh wait until the day before or the morning of to add your greenery. It really takes no time to cut clippings. 5) None of mine were placed in water. 6) From my experience, boxwood and magnolia last quite a few days before looking withered. My cedar can go a few days. A lot depends on your home and air.

These simple ideas can be applied to all of your mantels with a TV.  I'll be sure to share my Christmas mantel and a NEW everyday mantel in January!

    I love the layering with the books and little gourds. I do the same thing, which is to style the sides, but I don’t put anything in the middle. it’s so limiting, I think when we take down part of our wall i’m going to set the tv off center.

AD: Call me quirky, but I love a great grocery sto AD: Call me quirky, but I love a great grocery store. I could explore forever. Ashlyn and I enjoy cooking together so shopping for our favorite steak taco night dinner was the perfect opportunity to visit our new @foodlion in the Greenville, SC area. We are no stranger to Food Lion! We shop there when in NC while visiting our family beach cottage. The extra fresh produce and meats section always blows us away. Food Lion prides itself on keeping prices low and passes savings to its customers. Be sure to sign up for an MVP card in-store & online. Swipe to see more + our yummy dinner! Also, check out my stories! Easy, Fresh, affordable, you can count on Food Lion every day!!! https://lnk2.io/wb5NmqG #ShopFoodLion #FoodLion #Fooliongroceryhaul #FoodLionMVP #groceryshopping #FL #budgetmeals #MVPsavings #shoplocal #localgoodness #savingsatfoodlion #steaktacos #tacos #yeahthatgreenville
Good morning! Another gorgeous day before the rain Good morning! Another gorgeous day before the rain and cold creep back in. The weather is a big tease around here! A tip & a question! Please read below...help a girl out! 

🌸 Do yourself a favor, when you go to the grocery store....pick up some fresh flowers. They are inexpensive and instantly brighten your day. Change out the water every couple of days and most will last a week. Cut a little off the stems as well. 

👁 I recently had an eye appointment. My doc wrote a prescription for me to get progressive readers. Folks, She said that I need 2.5s! I’m in a 1.75. It’s such a pain. Here’s my question. I can no longer pluck my eyebrows with my magnifying mirror! 🤣 The 52 struggle is real! What’s a girl to do? Become Bert or go to the salon. I don’t wax because it’s too irritating. @ashlyn_little offered to pluck them! 🤣 Anyone else in the same boat? 

Favorite @lovechicos look! My So Slimming Girlfriend jeans are on sale! Today is also the last day of their first-ever warehouse sale!

Curious? Do you make your bed daily? We do! We usu Curious? Do you make your bed daily? We do! We usually have a last one out rule. I just can’t walk in the bedroom with an unmade bed. My dresser may have a pile of folded laundry for a couple of days, but that bed is made! That Amazon blanket is linked in stories. It’s soooo good! 

This is perhaps my favorite look for our master bedroom! Soft toile, linen and leopard print bedding and blankets are so cozy! http://liketk.it/3953P #liketkit @liketoknow.it #StayHomeWithLTK #LTKstyletip @liketoknow.it.home

I have not been this excited about the weekend sin I have not been this excited about the weekend since last weekend! Ha, ha! Happy Friday! No big plans here, but I’m still trying to dress up for a date night in on the weekend. We’ve been eating a lot in the dining room lately. It’s a cozy space with the twinkle lights that I don’t have the heart 
to take down. It’s like feeling like we are in an actual restaurant opposed to the daily meals at the kitchen table. Just that little extra effort makes a difference. #ad

Loving these separates from @lovechicos This lightweight chevron sweater is perfect for now and spring. The lines are so slimming with the flowy ¾ length sleeve. Guess what! My So Slimming Girlfriend Jeans are on sale now thru February 25th! All full-priced jeans are $59!

Been watching the news before cooking dinner and e Been watching the news before cooking dinner and enjoying a glass of wine. It’s heartbreaking seeing what’s going on in Texas. The people, the animals....I pray that everyone finds warmth, food and water tonight. It makes me look ahead to warmer days and carefree times of summer. This photo was last summer....I’m ready for outdoor weather. 🙏

Never regret anything that made you smile. – Mar Never regret anything that made you smile. – Mark Twain 

I’ve been on a no sugar or anything processed lifestyle change going on 7 weeks except for that weekend cheat meal. Spent an afternoon doing a little shopping and indulging in a vanilla chai latte with my daughter, and it made my day! No regrets on the sweet splurge. #ad

This outfit with pieces from @lovechicos has been on repeat the last couple of weeks! I don’t tend to wear bright colors like this in the winter but let me tell you…. this sweater changed my mind! I am sharing 4 fun looks on the blog today with some of my favorite @lovechicos pieces. #lovechicos

These So Slimming Girlfriend jeans are the only ones I reach for these days. They work with boots, heels, flats and sneakers.
