Fall Mantel and the Colors of Autumn

 I made a few small changes to my mantel for the Fall season.


I wanted a simple natural look this year and this is what I came up with.


A grouping of crocks, an antique box and a dried twig wreath.



Another twig wreath simply hung on the mirror with some burlap and a basket of sweet annie that smells just wonderful. I kept my vintage spools and candles in antique boxes to complete the look.

Fall is my favorite season and each year I anxiously await the colors of the season.


The color this year is just gorgeous. This is the lake view framed in a vivid sea of color.


The mountains beyond the field are just bursting.


Nature in all its glory!



Mother Nature has come through once again. Fall in New England - such a wonderful time of year! I hope that you are enjoying this glorious season as well.

Until next time ~ Suzanne.

  3. I love the natural look also, those dried twig wreaths are really neat. It all looks great!

    Girl, you are so very blessed to be where you are! I would never leave my home if I had views like that year round. I'm sure it's beautiful all year long, but the gorgeous colors of fall are breathtaking where you are!!

  5. HI Suzanne,
    I found a little wooden match stick holder at an antique store. I would like to repaint it black and put a little punch needle design on it.
    Could you tell me what kind of black paint you would use on it?
    thanks.
