Fall Mantel

I added an arrangement to my large 

bowl on the mantel.

I wanted to add something dramatic

 yet keep it simple.

I actually started with a swag for a door that I stood upright and tied to the bowl and built the arrangement around it.

With my Tuscan accents in my home these fall colors are easy enough to bring into my room and mix with things I already have.

I added some parts of a dry arrangement I 
found at the store.  It was one of those you find 
in a cellophane bag- I dissected it and used 
what I wanted.

I added pumpkins, gourds, and 
leaves to fill it in.

 I will add a bit of whimsy on the mantel for 
Halloween but otherwise I'm going to leave it 
like this through Thanksgiving.

I was inspired by a mantel from the 
Nell Hill's Blog

Mary Carol's- Nell Hill's Blog

They used a box, I used a large bowl...I used
 the basics of their composition to create mine.
She had a post called Fall Makeover Mantel

I removed one candelabra to make way for the arrangement but that's all I changed!
