Fall Mantel Ideas

By 35 Comments (this post may contain affiliate links see my disclosure)

I finally got my mantel ready for this wonderful fall season!!  You may remember when I showed you how I distressed this blue picture frame, and how I made DIY barn wood.

If you haven’t seen those yet, you should go check them out!  Well, I really have liked how that whole project turned out.  I decided that I would try to incorporate the barn wood picture frame into my fall decor this year.


Have I ever told you how much I LOVE the end of season sales.  I talk a little bit about it over here.  You seriously can find some great stuff at such a discounted price!!  Some of it will have to go in a box and used next year but a lot of what I get can be used year-round.

I got both of these grey/white dipped vases from Target for like $3 each!  They were originally around $20.  Even if they had been a color that I didn’t want to use I would have still grabbed them up. These would be so easy to repaint or makeover some how. One of the main focal points in the off white/grey wreath.

Can you believe that I made that wreath for FREE?? You gotta go check out the tutorial over here.

This little natural wood basket has made its debut before, like, over here and here.  I found this lovely basket at a thrift store and I just love its shape.

I picked up some fake sunflowers and added them to this basket.  I felt like this mantle was turning out all grey, which isn’t necessarily bad but I wanted to add a little bit of color.

Now it has blue from the frame, yellow from the flowers and green from the candle and moss balls.

I am such a sucker for lanterns.  I have to watch myself because I find that whenever I see a cute one I feel the urge to buy it quick!!  I then have a memory come to me that reminds me that I already have about 5 at home that are looking for a place to reside.  I got this lovely lantern from Pier-1 last year and I love it!!

Awhile back I showed you a super simple DIY Centerpiece.  In that center piece I used some moss balls that I got from Joanns.  Since I am no longer using that centerpiece I took those moss balls and added them inside this lantern.  It helps give it a little bit of color!

Aside from loving all lanterns, another thing that I love is metal crafts.  ( I realize most lanterns are made out of metal…..)

If it is a craft or home decor item and it’s made out of metal, chances are I will LOVE IT.  I think I got that from my mom, lets just blame her  😉  She also has a love for metal.

This cute little metal pumpkin came from Joann’s THIS year.  If you hurry there might be a couple left.  I love that they come in a few differnet sizes.

Last but surly not least, the fall banner is also a DIY FREE printable.  Head over here to grab your own FREE copy!!

    • Thanks Jillian! That metal pumpkin caught my eye and I had to snag one for myself. I love the metallic color that it brings to compliment the other colors.

  7. My living room is very similar in color choice and concept. Oddly, I love the wheat and sunflowers in the vase! I am always so drawn to aqua that I must get some more warm yellows in. Thanks for sharing on Merry Monday.
