Fall Mantel 2016

Hey Everyone!

It’s been awhile!

Wanted to show you my Fall Mantel for this year… 2016!

I’m pretty excited about it as it includes my art as the main feature.

First of all,

I decided to paint a large canvas, abstract painting and use it as the backdrop of my mantel.

And then I added this little guy…

He is part of a cow painting collection I recently painted

for my booth at Vinterest Antiques!

 

 

On the sides… I used outdoor elements like Pine Cones and dried Maple Leaves to really add in that Fall Essense!

Finally…

here is my Fall Mantel for 2016…

Fall Mantel 2014

Fall is right around the corner...

the cool breeze, no humidity, the smell of outdoor firewood burning, leaves falling... 

I love it!!

As most of you may know...

every year... 

I try to do a fall mantel.

This year was no exception...

And of course... 

I had to bring out the ol' hammer, paint, and glue on this one.

My house was under construction for a few days.

But I got it finished!

Sooo...

here is my Fall Mantel for 2014...

Welcome to my

Pumpkin Patch!

I decided to go a little arts and crafty on this one.

Fall Mantel 2013

Hey everyone!  Sorry I haven’t posted in awhile.

It turned out to be a busy summer… with projects in our backyard.

We had to fix some drainage problems and are still in the process of relaying stone.

It has been the longest and hardest DIY project e-vuh… lol!

However…

I did get a chance to finally create a Fall Mantel! 

I know… I know… it’s already October… but better late than never… right?!

So…without further ado…

here’s my Fall Mantel!

This was a fun one to create!

Not sure if you can tell… but I’m using two panels from my old crate table.

I also used fabric and paper to fill the center of each framed piece.

The glass vases are filled with apples, wood pieces, leaves, along with wheat and berries (fake of course). 

Love the way it turned out!

Happy Fall Blessings!

Fall Mantel 2012… It’s A Fall Festival!

 

Hope you’re ready for some

Fall Y’all!

This year… my fall mantel theme is: 

‘Fall Festival’

(burlap banner with cut out felt letters)

and

Just to warn you… I went a little crazy with it!  YEP!

Anywho…

Let’s put on our boots and get going to the festival!

So how do we navigate around this place?

Oh Good… directions!  Let’s go right!  :)

For the sign…

just took some scrap wood, cut some points on the end of each piece, painted some words, and glued them on an old stake we had.   Easy Peasy!

The Burlap Sack…Tractor Supply store for $1.00… is covering a decorative jar where the stake is inserted.   It worked out perfect!

Do you remember this BARN?  Click Here if you don’t!

A new coat of red paint made this barn a fantastic focal at the fall festival!

(a little tongue twister there for ya!)

I didn’t have any fall décor until I went to Hobby Lobby!

All the pumpkins, leaves, and hay were compliments of Hobby Lobby’s 40% off sale on fall décor!

Aren’t these chalk board buckets adorable? 

Got ‘em at Target… $1.00 a piece!

An old metal bucket holds the harvest of red delicious fake apples…

Maybe some apple cider or even apple pie for the festival?

Sounds good to me!!

Well Folks…

Hope you enjoyed this year’s Fall Festival on my mantel!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Harvest Everyone!

Praying MANY Fall Blessings to all this season!
