The Mantel is Dressed

I have been so busy painting this and that lately that it has taken me a while to get my mantel done for the autumn season. I am loving this autumn weather we are having. Our weather can so quickly change from hot to much colder in the blink of an eye. I love it though because it really causes me to want to change things up and dress things up.

I kept the large bulky candlesticks that have been there all summer and just added in some seasonal foliage, birds and burlap for texture.

Took some of my scrap burlap and wrapped it around these little potted urns that I already had and

tied some twine around them.

Added my pumpkins to the top of the candle holders.

Found these wooden pheasants at Hobby Lobby. 

I bought these on two different visits. I purchased the one looking up first and paid full price because I didn't see another one and liked it. Then last week I found the one leaning down and got it half price. 

Joining Marty for tabletop Tuesday at A Stroll thru Life.

Please be sure and hop over there and find some inspiration.

Thanks so much for all your comments on my kitchen cabinet redo. Y'all are too kind.

Here is a sneak peek of something I have been working on all weekend.

Y'all come back now,

KIM
