Fall Mantel

I started decorating my mantel for Fall but quickly realized I wasn't quite ready to put away all of my aqua pieces that have been on the mantel all summer. So take a look and see how I used a little aqua with my Fall mantel decor.


I worked my favorite aqua bowl in with some Fall pieces. 

I reasoned that the white pumpkin could sit close to the aqua and be ok.

I added lots of stems of berries, fall flowers, and leaves.

My aqua candle sticks are still standing around too.

At the other end of the mantel is another of my favorite aqua pieces from my summer mantel with more fall added.


I love the stick pieces added at this end of the mantel.


 Maybe by October I'll be ready to put away my aqua pieces and replace them with a scare crow or something scary - Judy.

  6. Love that wreath, Judy! I can understand how you feel ~ it was 80 degrees when I was putting my Fall decor out. It's hard to be in Fall mode with warm temps.

  11. Very lovely, a truly elegant fall mantle. We went with the Halloween decor right off the "bat" this year because we're leaving on vacation and time just won't allow decorating twice. Plus I got some "wicked" inspiration for movie/book/theater themed Halloween decor which turned out SO fun!

  14. I love the addition of a non-traditonal fall color. It really pops and doesn't detract at all. Beautiful.

  16. Hi Judy,
    think your mantle looks lovely, I really like your turquoise pieces in there, so pretty. I always laugh to myself when I see those colors, and I see them in my house too! lol
    I think of the old Howard Johnsons
    motels and restaurants from when I was a kid.......do you remember them too! There colors were that blue and orange. The outside of my home has the peacock blue cedar about terra cotta, black cream and white brick, so when I put my Fall decor up...yep, I think of Howard Johnsons! lol

    Thanks for coming by hon and for your sweet comments,
    Blessings, Nellie

  37. VERY smart idea to put the white pumpkin near the aqua! It works perfectly!!!!! It's kind of like that unexpected pop of red that turns up in an arrangement or on a tablescape or in a room that makes all the difference. It really stands out while still blending in. Very cool! The wreath is GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!
