Oh, my favorite time of the year is finally upon us! Time to get the Fall decorations out of the basement and decorate my fireplace mantel.
One of my favorite additions to this year’s fireplace mantel was a new garland filled with pumpkins and berries that I purchased from Michael’s for 50% off.
And I’m lovin’ these Command™ Brand clear hooks. First time I’ve ever used them and I’m flabbergasted that I never found these puppies before. They rock… that’s all I gotta say (tip: visit their website for some cool coupons).
I got a new ASCP little accent table from Red Posie, a vintage store near my house. Perfect size to sit on my fireplace hearth and hold a basket of flowers and some pumpkins.
I also have the Fall Subway Art I created last week on display.
I found some candlesticks on clearance for $5 from Michael’s and topped them with some mini ivory pumpkins.
I also filled a plastic orange vase with a small bouquet of flowers. Both items from the Dollar Store. Love using cheap design elements in my displays.
So, have you started on your fall mantel yet?

Thanks Allison! We lived without a mantel in our last apartment so I put a shelf under a large mirror. Had to decorate something, LOL!
LOOKS great!! Love all this fall inspiration. I really love the overall look of the whole thing, so nicely done.Thanks for sharing :) ~Bre
Thanks so much Bre!
Looks great! I am so ready to decorate for fall too!
Thanks April! I’m ready for the cooler weather. It’s still supposed to be near 100 today in St Louis, eek!
Love your mantel! The subway art looks fantastic and good old dollar store is always a winner in my book! Maybe I should work on mine today, thanks for inspiring me to get going! Kids are all in school so I am back to blogging and blog reading! Hope you had a great summer!
Thanks Ange! Can’t wait to see what you do with your space :) Hope you guys had a great summer with all of your fantastic travels! And thanks for sharing this on your Facebook page, sweetie!
That’s the perfect fall inspiration that I have seen so far!
Thanks so much Emily!
Every time the holidays roll around it always makes me wish I have a fireplace and a mantel. I do have a table near my front entry that I treat as a faux mantel. I love that garland you have! It is beautiful.
Thanks so much Laura! Good luck with your faux mantel. That was me in our last apartment!
Your mantle is absolutely beautiful! I don’t have a mantel to decorate, but “floofing” for Fall is on my to do list for today! I’m so excited I can’t stand it. {I guess I’d better start by getting out of this bathrobe!:)} Thanks for sharing your inspiring, creative decor ideas. I love them.
Good luck with your decorations today, Ritajoy!
It’s so pretty! I do an apple theme until October, then Halloween and then a fall theme until Thanksgiving. It’s so fun to play with the mantle! LOL!
Thanks Jenny! Apple theme sounds wonderful! And I can’t wait to do a Halloween mantel, too. So addicting to decorate for he holidays!
Loving this – that garland is fabulous and love your subway art! Where has that command strip been all my life?
Kelly
Thanks Kelly! That Command strip is amazing!! Why didn’t I think of that before?!
Love the fall colors, makes me want to cozy up next to the fireplace!
Thanks so much Taryn! I’m ready for cooler weather and warm fires :)
I adore all your super finds! everything looks great together
Thanks so much Lisa!
Working on my fall mantel right now! Yours is so pretty! Love that new garland :)
Thanks Christina. Can’t wait to see yours!
Those command strips do rock I use them all over the house to hang everything now because of my plaster walls there is no nail or screw that goes into the walls without making a crater
Thanks for sharing the little stool.
If I had a mantel, you’d be in charge of decorating it. I love the garland and how you hung it with the Command strips. Smarty pants.
Your mantle looks great. Love your garland. So happy fall has arrived.
Thanks so much. Love Fall too, Brandi! My favorite time of the year :)
Very colorful!
Your mantel looks great! I love fall too.
That is beautiful. I love the contrast of warm muted tones with the bright pops of red and orate. A perfect balance! Beautiful!
Thanks so much Kim!
WOW this is so pretty! I wish it were not so hot and humid, I am ready for fall!!!!Thanks for linking up.
