This week is the start of our new series “Fall into Autumn” where 5 bloggers will bring you a different area of their home decorated for fall. The first area on our list is Mantel’s, have a look around and make sure you head over to see the other blogger’s mantels on the tour today.

 

 

Fall Farmhouse Mantel

How about a little Fall Farmhouse Mantel with thrifted items, fresh flowers and produce, and a little junk mixed in? I like to change up my mantel with the seasons but hate to invest in new decor items every time so this years Fall Mantel is a mixture of anything that fit the theme and was on hand. The paining of the cows is a favorite of mine and I never seem to tire of it, plus it’s colors are perfect for a Fall Mantel. I debated on painting something new but decided against it. I think I will have to have some fresh art for a winter theme though.  My Fall bunting is a paper craft project and I will be back later in the week to show you how that was done, I attached it to the old tool box with clothes pins off the line and the rusted metal you see on the face is springs from our old wingback chair. The runner was made from two thrifted napkins that are in perfect condition, and the yellow candlesticks were once blue but with a little spray paint they now fit into the Fall color scheme. I think I always like a project that is thrown together with what is already in my stash better than if I had shopped for items. Maybe I just have to get more creative this way.

 

Fall Farmhouse Style Mantel

I’m not sure why I always call this my mantel, when it is truly the cabinet where our television is stored. We purchased it at an auction years and years ago, it was formally a storage cabinet in shop class at a local high school.  All I did was give it a coat of off white paint and add new hardware.  It’s a great piece to store quilts on and other vintage finds. I use the vintage laundry cart all over my house, right now it is holding the new 100 year addition blue canning jars, sometimes it has quilts in it, or even vintage linens.  It’s a great versatile piece to have.

 

Fall Mantel

Don’t think you have to buy new every time you want a new look.  Shop your house and see what you have and make do with it.  I tend to decorate my whole house in the same color scheme so it makes it easy to move pieces from room to room and get a fresh look.  I also hate clutter and don’t want to store a bunch of items so this method always works best for me. Remember to visit the other 4 sites that are showing off their Fall Mantels today.  I hope you see some inspirational ideas that you can incorporate into your own Fall space.

        Dawn, I’ve loved your cow painting since I first saw it! Earlier this year, I showed it to a friend and told her I wanted a cow painting for our cabin. Imagine my surprise when she told me she’d FOUND one! The store had a couple of them, so she put one on hold until I could get up there that weekend and see it to be sure it was the right one. And it was–and now it’s mine! Now…if she could just find me your cabin! 🙂

    Dawn, I love how you’ve decorated your mantel! Those cows look perfectly content up there with the sunflowers! I have some of the blue Ball anniversary jars but sadly, they are still in their cardboard carton! Love the way you have yours displayed in that laundry cart!

    Dawn,
    I love your faux mantel. Those cows just make me smile. You just want to hug them they have the sweetest faces. I love that you did a farmhouse fall decor mantel. Very different and unique. Love it.

    I love it all and crazy me, my favorite pieces is the old chair springs. I am not sure what I would do with them, but they are a fun piece for different vignettes.

      Carol, the dog used to sit in the old wingback and I was tired of it stinking like a dog so I took it outside and burned it, all that were left was the rusty springs and I kept them not knowing what I would do with them. They worked great to hold the bunting up.

    Oh my gosh…there are so many things about this that I love. The quilts, the blue jars, the enamelware pan hanging. It’s all perfect. I am trying to use what I have this year too…although I usually end up buying something! I can’t seem to help myself when I actually get in a store. Love the cow but can’t wait to see your winter piece. Pinning everywhere!

      Vee, I think we all love color too. I adore all the white home and white decor, but it just doesn’t fit into my log cabin. Thanks so much for dropping by and taking the time to look around.

    Dawn, first of all, I love the way you use this cabinet as a mantel. My favorite has to be the cow print. I really do have a thing for cows, and secondly, love the little numbers on the tins. Wow! You 5 bloggers sure are a creative bunch! Everyone decorated so completely different. Beautiful to look at each and every one!

    I LOVE your “mantel”. I have a feeling you and I would be great friends if we lived close by. I have that same cow picture. I fell in love with it when I first saw it. The colors you are using in your house are pretty similar to what I have. I don’t have an actual mantel, but I have a couple of pieces of furniture that I decorate around, as if they were mantels. I have a thing for sunflowers, too. Color makes me happy. That green chair is fabulous. There are lots of happy colors surrounding your mantel. I like everything in that photo. I love how it gives a nod to Fall without looking like you moved the Fall section of a craft store into your home. Can’t wait to see more of your Fall decorating. PS – I don’t usually gush like this. Especially before finishing my first cup of coffee.

      Denise, you are so sweet:) I don’t shop the craft store for my decorating, I just grab what I have in the house and use it. I couldn’t afford to drag things home all the time or have the place to store them. Thanks so much for stopping by, glad to hear you have the same cow print. I love it!!

    Okay, Ladies! All of you who have the cows/”girls” print! Hubby and I both love it, so would SOMEBODY please tell me what stores have this piece?! Please, Please? I have been hunting it since I first saw it, and he happened to be looking over my shoulder and told me that he “loved the cows!”

    I really would like to find it, too, for our kitchen that we are planning to re-decorate soon! Thanks!

    p.s. Love your style, obviously!!!

    Thanks so much for letting me know, Dawn! Actually, I get the Antique Farmhouse emails, as well as those from their “sister” site, Decor Steals, and buy from D/S all the time (way too much, & mainly because of their consistent $5 shipping for anything!) I will have to be more faithful about checking BOTH daily! I know things “come back around” regularly … As is obvious, we love that print, and I love ALL your fall decor!

      Kathleen, I do believe I have seen someone say they found it at Home Goods also, you may want to check there as well.
