Fall Mantle

Happy Monday, friends! Hope you had a lovely weekend. My roommates and I finished up our Fall mantle and I'm excited to share it with you today! We had everything already except for the leaf garland and candy corns, so it was inexpensive...always a plus!









Decorating in layers was the key!  Stacking old books, incorporating rustic elements with lots of glass, and of course bringing in the orange, yellow, and reds of the season made our mantle complete.  Candy corns added just the right touch of Halloween fun.  My roommate also had this vintage map of Shakespeare's Britain, which I totally love. How fun that it had all the colors of Autumn in it! Vintage + history + color perfection = love.


Have you decorated for Fall yet? 
Love,

    Ahhhh, I actually JUST walked in from setting pumpkins out by the front door and hanging my HOMEMADE wreath!! You would be impressed... I know that I sure am! :) Love the mantle, especially the candy corns in the jars! Those apothecary jars are on the TOP of my To-Get list... they are SO easy to decorate with! Love it!
