Fall mantel and quick and easy DIY bunting from Our Southern Home #fall

I confess…..it sure doesn't feel like fall here in the Upstate of South Carolina.

I'm hoping that if I act like it is…cooler weather will quickly be on its way. Are you with me?

I just pulled out all the boxes from the attic Saturday and started with our family room mantel. My goal this year with fall decorating is to keep it pretty simple using what I have with the exception of a few real pumpkins when they become available in our area.

I'll also make a few crafts along the way…like this simple Upholstery Tape Bunting.

Today is the first of several fall tours that I'll be participating in this month. This week's tour is featuring an amazing line-up. You will find the links below. Visit back here each day for the new links to click on for that day. It will make it easy to visit each day. 

I'm excited to see all the creativity. Fall is probably my favorite season.

Our family room mantel is created with everything I had on hand. The shutter, wicker tray, and wooden pedestal were all thrift store finds. They have been used all over the house. Do you see the white pumpkins in the olive bucket (Decor Steals)? Those are the really fake looking pumpkins from Walmart. I painted them with chalk paint last year. You can find that post and how they were a topiary last year HERE.

I have a huge roll of this stuff. It is a burnt orange color. Many craft stores sell the redder version. I bought this online. You'll be seeing this used in lots of places in our home this fall!

I cut 10 inch lengths for the bunting. Fold it in half and cut out your triangle at the bottom for the ends.

Do you see where the crease is in the center where I folded it? Apply hot glue.

Place the crease in the center of the jute twine and press together to adhere.

I hang the jute twine first using clear Command Hooks. You really can't see them unless up on them so I may just leave them there. Don't get glue around the jute so you can adjust the bunting.

I'll be able to use this year after year. So simple…so inexpensive!

I got the white Fleur de-lis back in July from Hobby Lobby. It was in their clearance section dirt cheap. I got $132.96 worth of decor at 80% off for $26!!!  I absolutely love the velvet pumpkins that Love Feast Table sent me last year.

The faux boxwood is from Ballard and sits atop 2 different thrift store finds which are layered. We have a large collection of mortar and pestles.

I layered a little wide burlap ribbon and upholstery tape on the black faux books to soften and bring a bit of orange up.

Thanks so much for all the comments and suggestion Thanks so much for all the comments and suggestions about my back yesterday. I did absolutely nothing and rested it. I slept better last night, and it's much better today. Last year on this very day, I posted our winter mantel. I loved this look. We enjoyed it so much throughout January. Keep on using your fresh greenery and twinkle lights if it makes you happy! Going through old ideas has me inspired to spruce up our mantel. Sadly, I haven't really done anything to it since Christmas. I went straight from putting up Christmas to painting the mudroom! Have a cozy evening! Visit the blog with the link in bio @oursouthernhome Just type in WINTER MANTEL in the search bar.

This New thrift store makeover post almost didn’ This New thrift store makeover post almost didn’t happen! It’s the first one of the new year! I was 1/2 way through the project while simultaneously painting the mud room cabinets. Down on the floor painting lower cabinets and twisted a certain way which did something to my lower back/hip. Ugh!!!! I got it done with the help of @ashlyn_little ⭐️ I couldn’t sleep and currently on heating pad. I’m going to be useless today! Any remedy ideas? I’ve got to get back to painting! I can’t take things in disarray. Lol! I’ll be working on the laptop in bed today I guess and checking out the other projects from my blogging friends! Link in bio and stories to the blog post!

Happy New Year & Wednesday friends! @bentleywestie Happy New Year & Wednesday friends! @bentleywestie  here! My grandma has taken a little break from social media and the blog to enjoy time with us before Woods and Ashlyn started classes back at Clemson. Personally...I’m ready to see her get out of sweats and put some makeup on! She did finally get all the Christmas packed away. With the tree gone, I’ve got my other bed back in the den! I think she’s coming off a sugar high. She mentioned that all the Hershey kisses were gone. Oh, well! Things are getting back to normal around here! Maybe they’ll get me a haircut!

I’ve been wanting a pair of sequin pants FOREVER I’ve been wanting a pair of sequin pants FOREVER! I wore them for the first time out Saturday night for our anniversary dinner! @lovechicos Now I want to wear them all the time! They are so comfy, stretchy, lightweight and just freaking fabulous! ❤️ Paired them with a sweater from @amazonfashion so it toned the look down a bit. I felt dressy casual. I’m also going to be wearing them with a white sweatshirt and tennis shoes! Life is too short.....So wear the sequins! Follow me on the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app to get the product details for this look and others http://liketk.it/34KjY #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKNewYear #StayHomeWithLTK

You’ll find me here all day in pajamas. That’s You’ll find me here all day in pajamas. That’s right! I’m not doing a darn thing today. I always lounge the day after Christmas to recoup after days of cooking. After Christmas is when I can finally relax a bit and enjoy the beauty of the season. I finally watched Little Women this morning and loved. Now I’m watching season 2 of Virgin River. How are you spending your Saturday? I’ll be getting dressed later this evening for our anniversary dinner. #31years tomorrow! 🥂

Today is the BIG 52! Gulp! It’s been a cozy Chri Today is the BIG 52! Gulp! It’s been a cozy Christmas Eve Birthday with my family. I’ll admit, it’s been a busy day of chores, but it’s been extra special because the kids are both home with us. Hunkering in for the evening. Here’s a tip when you’re wanting to feel put together at home. @spanx faux leather leggings work dressed up or down! Add a pair of @isotoner.us ballet slippers and you can fake a ballet flat at home! Over the knee boots and scarf are Amazon finds. I’ll be linking the look in the #liketoknowit app soon. Merry Christmas Eve!
