It's time for a fall mantle. It's starting to feel a bit like fall outside;
I even found myself looking for a sweater!
I seemed to find brassy-looking things for the mantle, including a 100+ year-old family heirloom.
My challenge is always the brick wall behind the mantle which absorbs dark colors.
But I decided to go with the fall tones just for awhile since I enjoy a change.
The mantle showed off a lot of silver and white over the spring and summer.
Joining the mantle "party" today at Thrifty Decor Chick.
I like those colors against the brick. I'm assuming the family heirloom is that lovely vase. My mantle problem is that it is 12 feet long!! It is perfect to hold all 27 pieces of my Christmas in the City Village but the rest of the year there is a bit of a void.

Love jewel tones so this mantel looks perfect to me! Finally feeling like fall? That must be very pleasant...it's been lovely here.
ReplyDeleteI love your mantel and the brick behind it too. Your fall arrangement is very pretty. Just right. That's a wonderful painting too.
ReplyDeleteYou created a lovely Fall mantle! I like the brick as it adds to the warm autumn feel.
ReplyDeleteI rarely change my mantle. I get how I like it and there is stays :) I do decorate it for Christmas.
I love your fall mantel. It looks beautiful. Is the brass and turquoise glass the 100 + year old heirloom? I've never seen anything like it and wonder what it was used for. It sure is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteYour mantle is very pretty! I love the Fall colours too, and like to see their warm tones around us this time of year.
ReplyDeleteVery nice!
Your mantle is perfect for fall. Those brass accents go beautifully. I love the blue glass in the vase surrounded by the brass filigree.
ReplyDeleteHi . Your brass really looks good with the fall colors on your am the. What a beautiful vase too. I hope to see you at book club next month.
ReplyDeleteI love the harmony of the fall colors and the brick, Dotsie! Just beautiful... and welcoming to the next season of the year... so quickly they fly. blessings ~ tanna
ReplyDeleteI love this cozy warm look!
ReplyDeleteI love the artwork....its charming and your mantle is lovely....the brick I like too. Everytime I get the mantle the way I want...and then dare to change it....for a season, I can't seem to recapture what I had at first.
ReplyDeleteYour mantle looks very nice Dotsie. Little elements that reflect your personality and a sweet print of the children with rabbits.
ReplyDeleteHappy Autumn.

I think you worked with the brick really well. I have the very same challenge. It is so nice to visit your post today and catch up a little.
