fall mantel

It's Friday already? Works for me. After Labor Day I feel that it's officially OK to begin breaking out the fall decor. Being in a new house it always takes one full year before I'm use to decorating for the seasons so I'm sure the mantle will evolve a bit more but here's what I have so far. 



I whipped up some festive burlap bunting with some hot glue and jute. The plan is to add "Fall" to it when I get a chance this weekend. 





The jute strikes again wrapped around a pair of glass candlesticks. 





On a side note we picked up this little piece of art on our recent trip to South Haven. I thought it was perfect for out family room!

  3. Loving the jute around the candlesticks idea.

    Just finished reading your kitchen reno and my jaw dropped when I got to the part stating you painted those cabs. Wow! I thought they were brand new. What an amazing transformation. Never seen an over-the-door towel bar. That is very cool. Must find one of those.
