I'm joining up with
Nester's Fall Mantel (Fantel) Linky Party today. Because I did this in a rush, I feel it's too cluttered, but that's alright, I will be changing it Halloween style in about week anyways. So be sure to visit back for that.
I'm not liking the bird, but I love the pine cones, mostly because we have collected them fresh from our new yard, and I've always wanted to do that. I plan to make a garland out of them, maybe for Christmas. This rosemary plant needs to be re-potted, but it smells so nice, and can't wait to use it in my roasted potatoes.
Opinion needed. The "window" mirror is actually black, I placed an empty shabby white frame in front. Should I leave the white frame there, or does the black frame look best? Thanks!
I love the white accents of the carriage and the little pumpkin. I don't think you need the white frame for more punch, but it could go either way.
ReplyDeleteI have a hard time believing you have this fall mantel and then also a halloween one! How many do you have for the whole year?
I like the white frame on the mirror. I think it gets a little lost when it's just black. And the pinecones are the prefect finishing touch.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I, too, love the white accents (especially the pumpkin on the candle holder. Thanks for sharing, *Becca*
ReplyDeleteFound you on the Nesting Place. I love the window mirror (wirror? mindow?), and think it looks more fall-ish without the white. The frame makes it feel like summer to me.
ReplyDeleteAll good points ladies! I think I'll remove the white frame.
ReplyDeleteI have many many mantle scapes... I change it up every couple of weeks, Bethany :) Lets just say, I bore easily.
I like it as it is. I really love the pumpkin carriage.
ReplyDeleteI like the black frame! GREAT display!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful! I love the carriage..so cute!!
ReplyDeleteSo so so cute! The cinderella carriage makes my heart melt. Love it!
ReplyDeleteMantel looks great! I like the mirror black.
ReplyDeleteThe mantel looks great. I'm not sure what the thing is that looks exactly like Cinderella's pumpkin carriage, but I'm a fan of it. It is very pretty.
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa,
ReplyDeleteI hope you are having a good day today! My name is Elizabeth Jensen and I am the assistant Holidays Web editor at Better Homes and Gardens. I am contacting you because I was looking through The Nester’s Mantel Linky Party (http://www.thenester.com/2010/09/fall-mantel-party.html) and came across the pictures you posted of your beautiful mantel. I am currently working on creating a fresh slideshow on fall mantels to feature on BHG.com during the 2011 season and would love to include yours. We would include an image of your mantel, a description and tips on how our readers can replicate it, and of course, give designer credit to you.
