Welcome to our Fall into Autumn series.
Today I am sharing our Fall Mantel 2013.
For the next several weeks we will be sharing All things Fall and we are very excited for the upcoming season.
We hope to inspire.
Looking back and reflecting of mantels gone by, I sorta chuckled.
I mean sometimes, I wonder what I was thinking.
It’s kinda like hairstyles you always look back and say,
and I thought that was cute!
Today, I am sharing our 2013 Fall mantel.
I kept it pretty simple and only added a few touches of Fall to the family room so far.
and of all the simple Fall decor, this little faux carved pumpkin is my favorite of all!
I bought a few new things this year at Home goods, one of my favorite places. Their prices are awesome, and their decor is fabulous, imo.
It is the first time in a few years since I have bought anything new for Fall.
I have at least 10 bins of Fall decor that I have collected and made throughout the years.
It was time for a some new things.
I love my owl pillows.
They were I believe $14.99 a piece. Bargoon!
Added some faux flowers and pumpkins to the urns.
paired up with my vintage books that I always have out on the mantel.
The little owls I saw when I was in the check out line.
Two went in my cart and those were only $4.99 a piece. They had all different colors too.
Sunflower swag was $12.99 and the rustic swag of twigs I have had for years.
The wreath, I have also had for years. I think I bought that at Walmart.
That too has the sunflowers so it ties in nicely with the swag.
I think the Fall decor is really looking good with my Painted fireplace makeover that I did last year.
The pumpkin is sitting on top of an old trunk
that I redid a few years back with Annie sloan chalk paint, and burlaped the top.
The rug is new and that we bought on ebay.
It is a pottery barn rug that we scored for less than 50% off, brand new.
They do not sell it this year in the catalog.
this is an arial view from upstairs.
this rug is also larger than our last one. It has every color that is in our home.
It is just perfect!
Thanks for stopping by today for our Fall series.

Hi Debbie,
I have really missed visiting. It has been a busy time. Thank you for your lovely and kind words.
I am so eager for Fall, and seeing all of the fun Fall posts!
Hope you are well.

Pretty fall decorations ! Love the owls and the sunflowers!
I love the autumn decor and the whole gorgeous setting with that distressed mantel, stained glass, etc. I love to decorate for fall, but this year I loved my summer mantel so much that I keep procrastinating the change. I will be sucking up by the end of the week to change it. Love to be inspired when I come here.
Gorgeous Debbie! I love it all!! That rooster pumpkin is my favorite!! Your home looks so cozy and ready for fall! I also love that rug! Wow! What a deal!
Beautiful, Debbie! I love the sunflowers… Such a nice pop of color. And that rooster pumpkin is awesome! Your space looks fantastic and so ready for fall! 🙂
Very pretty, Debbie! I love how it looks! I haven’t done any Fall inside yet {a real feel temp of 100 today!} but am hoping to get my stuff down from the attic and get going in the next couple of weeks.
Your mantel looks beautiful. I love all of your fall decor. The new rug is gorgeous in your family room. Sorry I haven’t been by in a while…it’s been a fun, but crazy summer.
It all looks beautiful.
What I took away for my own fireplace decor is the wreath on the fireplace screen. I think I might do something with that idea today.
Thanks for the inspiration.
If I were you I would just sit in this room and smile. It is so perfectly you. I love everything but the way it all flows is what makes it work. The rug is fabulous. You have me beat with your number of fall bins. I only have four!
Your tall urns, vintage books, painted mantel, fall swag…BEAUTIFUL!!
Mary Alice
So pretty Debbie! I love that photo of your whole room, what a fabulous house you have. Now I have to go run to HomeGoods, we have a new one close by 🙂 Hope you’re having a great week!
xo, Andrea
Luv the way everything just pops off your back mantel. All the colours of Fall. Beautiful!
Loving your mantel Debbie! I love that rooster carved pumpkin with the chicken wire!
alright girl, that rug makes it. it is perfect for fall, and your new pillows and the rust/oranges of the owls and pumpkins just pull it all together. love it.
Your mantle is absolutely beautiful! Thank you for the inspirations!
Debbie, your mantel decor for autumn truly compliments your pretty mantel. I love how you made-over your mantel, too. So pretty!
I love your Fall mantel Debbie! Your home always looks fabulous for Fall. 14 bins! wow! I think I only have 2! Good excuse to go shopping 🙂
Debbie…this is so great! Your living room is the perfect backdrop for all the colors of fall. I just love everything, from the pillows to the banner! Your new rug is gorgeous, it makes your room look so relaxed and cozy. Thanks for the tips on the goodies and where you found them!
XO,
Jane
Debbie I love what you did with the fireplace for the fall. That garland is perfect with the grapevine. The wreath is very pretty too.
Cynthia
Such a pretty mantle! I really like what you have done with the space above and behind the mantle, that might have been intended by the builder for a TV? You really made it work for you!
Yes, that is suppose to house the TV, but we did not like that idea so we dressed it up in our own way. thanks!
wow Debbie, please do come and do mine now?
Love the whole thing, really love the fire screen! where did you find it? So looking for a way to update ours. I’m holding off the fall décor for a couple more weeks, It still feels like summer in South Georgia! The inspiration is great!
Gosh, I wish I remember, we have had it for years now.
Debbie,this is gorgeous,all the fall colors.And I see Owls, just love them,they are too cute….jessie
Your right Debbie..the fall decor looks even better with the painted mantel!!!! The wreath looks nice with it,I keep seeing so many things I like…
Love the color of your mantel! I don’t see too many that aren’t white and yours looks so pretty especially with the yellow of the sunflowers. The pumpkin is just he cutest!
Debbie, I love it! Your mantel looks wonderful. The fall colors really compliment your existing décor. I had forgotten that you gave your mantel a makeover…I love that too.
Beautiful mantel and hearth Debbie…you always do such a wonderful job with holiday decorating…love the theme of sunflowers, owls and pumpkins!…the perfect trio!
Your mantel, in fact your whole room looks ready for the cooler weather that Fall often brings. I love the sunflowers in your swag and wreath and the warm colours that you’ve used, it’s all beautiful!
Beautiful. Your house is just made for Fall decorating.
Debbie, you sure know how to decorate a mantel! In fact, everything in your room is gorgeous! And your rug ties everything together beautifully! Wow-wee! Bring on FALL!
Your mantel is beautiful! Your entire living room is gorgeous!
This is lovely. Great what you have done with the entire room, especially the fireplace. The rug is absolutely perfect for your home.
Happy fall ya’ll, ginger
Fantastic! I love color and you use it so very well. Lots of great ideas here.
Very cute! It looks fab with your painted mantle too. I feel all cozy, wish it were cold outside!
Looking great Ms. Debbie !!!
I must visit our Craft store to see if they have the knife so I can cut a rooster pumpkin. Just love it. I put roosters on my Mantel for Fall, but not exactly what I want, so will be changing it. You have some great ideas and I am all inspired. The rug is just so perfect.
Thanks for sharing.

Simply marvelous! Just stopped by after visiting Manuela. Yours has such a unique flavor as well. It’s so cool to see all the creative ideas that everyone comes up with. I love your black distressed mantel. This year, I painted all my pumpkins, white, black, and green. I did a farmhouse style pumpkin theme in the kitchen and a coastal cottage theme in the living room. I’ll be joining your pinning party this week. All you ladies have really inspired me to think outside the box. After seeing all these gorgeous mantels, I may have to tweak mine a bit more.
That is gorgeous! WOW! I love all of the different colors and textures – and I LOVE LOVE LOVE that rug! It’s beautiful.
Debbie,
So, many rich fall colors….I could look @ it all day! Your photography, staging and editing are fantastic, too! Just finishing my mantel post, now….my tablescape and mailbox are up and linking!
Hugs,
JP
