I am so excited to show you my Fall mantel,
it is by far my favorite version.
I love the warmth that is adding to this room.
I wish I could capture the true colors
but this is the hardest room in my house to photograph,
it is very shadowy (not sure if that is a word).
We are working on new lighting and have plans to paint this room
so hopefully soon I will be able to get better pictures.
Yes, I jumped on the band wagon and made a Martha Stewart's corn husk wreath
I followed her directions for the most part and it was very simple.
My butter churn is a family heirloom that I am proud to be the keeper of.
I love the idea that my family ate what came from this beautiful piece of pottery.
My orange carnival glass piece was a gift from a precious client of mine.
The candle holders are the same ones from my Spring Mantel
I just spray painted them cream.
My large crock now holds the fireplace tools
this is after all a very used fireplace.
The small crock holds the matches for lighting the fire.
Oh, and there are the new drapes I made.
I hope you are enjoying getting ready for Fall
I know I am,

LOVE your giant corn husk wreath!
I was wondering what that wreath was made out of! Cool!! I love your whole mantel. The crock holding the tools is genius! The butter churn is such a special family heirloom too! My fall decor is all packed away in my attic for now but maybe I'll pull out the carnival glass (from my china cabinet) to transition until I get it down. Stopping over from Remodelaholic.

I just finally got around to decorating our mantel after living here for 1.5 years! I love the crocks. I've been looking for some reasonably priced ones...ha. I'll just have to wait to inherit my mom's!
Hi,
I really like how your mantel turned out!! I like how you redid your candle holders for another season and I love the story of your family crock!!
Hope you have a wonderful week!
Fondly,

So festive! And the ribbon acts like an old-fashioned garland.
Did you hear about our $100 value Roxy girls' bedding giveaway? Hope so (it ends tomorrow). Jane F.
Really pretty wreath, and I LOVE your butter churn. I think it's so cool to have family heirlooms to decorate with! Visiting from The Nester's party. Hope you'll stop by my blog to say hi. :)
Love all your crocks ! My mother collected crocks as well, but I only used a few smaller ones in my mantle redo - take a look -- thanks !
