Happy Tuesday! Fall is officially here and I’m ready to share more of my Fall decorations with you. I decided to use a swag that fits perfectly on top of my fireplace mantel. I wanted it to look full and festive for the season and for the upcoming Fall holidays. I filled it with pumpkins, gourds, green and brown pears, leaves, pinecones and berries. Bows helped to finish the look. There are two types of bows in the swag. One is a dark colored plaid and the other a light colored burlap. I particularly like the burlap wired bow I made for the mantel. It gives the design an elegant country feel.
I like the look of the swag to be full and drapey. It makes the arrangement more interesting and pretty.
The swag reminds me of my Christmas garland that I use on the mantel. It gives you the feeling of Christmas and starts the excitement for that holiday early. At least in my home!I love the way the living room looks when the fireplace mantel is decorated for the holidays. It’s so warm and inviting! Click here to view my Christmas mantel from last year.
In the first two photos you can see my living room coffee table. I’m sharing it today with the mantel. I like to dress it up too. A few medium sized pumpkins fit in nicely with my peacocks. Small beaded pumpkins sparkle in the tray set up for tea. A single faux candle sits on top of colorful leaves and flickers softly in the room. It’s like that old saying,”A little goes a long way!”.
I hope I inspired you today with my Fall Mantel.
Feel free to pin my Fall Mantel to your Fall or Autumn boards on Pinterest.

I am new to your blog, I thought I was the only one on the planet with wallpaper in my living room. I LOVE Your wallpaper and blue mantel and wood work, just so wonderfully old timey and warm!!! In my view, nothing says homey, warm, cozy, and flat out beautiful than wallpaper!!! I print homes I love to look at and keep them on my desktop so I can pop them open at will, yours goes in that hallowed space!!!! Thanks for sharing the lovlies with us!!!
Hi Donna! Thank you so much for your lovely comment and for visiting today! I thought I was the only one with wallpaper too. It’s nice to know that there are others out there that still appreciate it! I have it all over my home! I have changed it in my dining room though. Check out my Dining Room Done-Over post. I like to change some of it. I find myself changing it to faux painted walls that still gives a papered look. I agree that nothing says warm and cozy more than wallpaper!
Have a lovely day my Wallpaper Friend!

Another WOW! So smart how you looped around your sconces to create the mantle swag, and I love how you incorporated the peacock on your table to match the picture above the mantle. I always come away from your blog with such great inspiration. Your home reflects your personality…warm and gracious. I, too, LOVE wallpaper. So many people are afraid of it these days, especially for resale, but one should enjoy their home, not just decorate for one day to come. I’m planning to do several rooms of our home as well.
Hi Bobbi! I did loop around the sconces to create the drapey look I wanted. It also anchored the swag and keeps it from falling off the mantel. I love wallpaper too! If you see my other posts you will see I have a lot of rooms wallpapered. If I do change, it will be faux painted or glazed to look like paper. I like the texture and warmth you get from papered rooms. I find you can get that from glazed walls too. The peacocks are my favorite! Can’t you tell! I like to move them around the room.
Thank you for visiting today, I greatly appreciated your comments!

You’ve done a terrific job of decorating your mantel in a manner that goes wonderfully with existing furnishings and house details. The lovely garland coordinates well with the peacock picture and sconces. The display on your coffee table adds to the charm! I checked out your Christmas mantel and left a comment there but WOW, that’s gorgeous too! (Visiting from Wow Us Wed)
Thanks Lori! I’m very particular when it comes to coordinating colors, furnishings and items in my home, or any other home I help to decorate. I feel rooms should flow into one another easily. Thank you for your lovely comments and for liking my post today.

I am new here and just love your mantel display and the shade of blue you painted your mantel. Do you know the name of the paint you used? Very pretty fall decor!
Hi Joy! Thanks for visiting today and for your lovely comments! The blue is either Pittsburgh Paints or Benjamin Moore Paints #3075 Amish Blue. The only thing is that the original color I used was from 1989 when my husband and I built our home. Believe it or not I have kept the blue since then. It’s timeless as you can see! That color number dates back to 1986. The paint store just matches it for me. I think they can still cross reference it though for a match. It’s a slate blue color with more blue than grey. I hope that helps!
Happy Wednesday!
