I love changing out my mantel. It is the one place in the house I can take apart and put together every couple of months -- how fun. Today, I was inspired by a
Better Homes and Garden tweet for fall mantels. Then I went crazy and started looking at all sorts of great mantels decorated with vintage, salvaged and repurposed goodies. Armed with ideas, I got down to work and dug through my boxes in the basement and came up with my own creation using a mirror I had stored away, branches, pine cones, beautiful glasses I picked up at the recycle center, candles, vintage books and owl and some sprigs of green berries. Voila! Instant mantel decor.
