A MANTLE ALL DRESSED UP FOR FALL - A Fresh-Squeezed Life

Hello and thank you so much for stopping by!

I have been getting into fall mode over here! Sweaters and boots are back out, hot chocolate is ready to go and a few fun decor items have been added to my home to reflect this season.

Scroll down to see a bunch of other lovely mantles dressed for fall!

You might remember that pink and bright green are my accent colors in my living space. With fall here I dialed the brightness down a bit and I love the result.

A Spruced Up Fall Mantle

This season’s color is so pretty and I see it everywhere. Is it pink? Peach? Salmon? Melon? I really do not know, but I sure like it. It has snuck into my closet too in the form of a pair of jeans. Yes, I bought myself a pair of pink jeans and I am freaking out about that.

What is happening to me?

Two years ago I was practically campaigning against pink as a signature color and now I have adopted it as my own.

Change is good, right?

When I bought my little house I was so excited about the mantle behind my couch. Of course, most mantles are above a fireplace, but I do not have that luxury right now. I do, however, love to style it just like I would a fireplace mantle.

Since my mantle is so long I generally add some “space taking” pieces on the ends, such as the boxes of flowers. If I do not do that there is too much room to decorate and it ends up looking haphazard.

And I do not do haphazard!

As per my usual, switching out flowers was a big part of my color change. These ones were found at Michael’s and they were 50% off. I always love a good craft store sale, don’t you?

You might remember these boxes were originally in my kitchen. One thing I always do when I want a new look in my house is to “shop my house” and move around what I have. It saves money and creates a wonderful new decor look.
