Fall is approaching, although you wouldn’t know it with this HOT weather we are currently experiencing! I love fall, am so excited it is almost here, and love decorating for it! This is the first year we’ve had a mantel though and I’m a little freaked about how to decorate it. I still haven’t figured out the basic, what to put out year round things for the mantel so the holiday decorating scares me out even more! (side note: maybe, just MAYBE I have a little bit of the Type-A, perfectionist in me so I get scared about trying something because I want it to be great and be great on the first try…)
Check out Michelle at Sweet Something Designs. Her fall mantel is amazing! I love the big, white vases against the white fireplace. Her use of twine on the glass candle holders is brilliant! I’m hoping to add elements like that to our mantel, so this picture is pure inspiration. I think I get nervous though because you can’t cover up the TV like you can with a mirror or big piece of art…don’t think I haven’t thought about it though. 🙂 Check out the full post with details of how this mantel came to life here: http://sweetsomethingdesign.blogspot.com/2010/09/fall-mantle.html.
