Finished Autumn Mantel

A couple of weeks ago I posted my almost finished Autumn Mantel.  I think this is about as good as it's going to get.  Since I haven't had the chance to go pumpkin picking I thought I would add more white in other ways.  This mantel is BIG so it 's not an easy thing to decorate.  Another one of Mr. Country's DIY projects.


For the overmantel, I decided to use all of my chalk painted frames in a collage and wove some autumn garland, that I got at Michael's, through it.  



I covered the vintage books in white paper that I save from all of my Marshall's purchases......and added Mr. Crow!


Of course the boys always have to put their touch on everything.....Nicholas went 
Bat Silhouette happy!


The urns were once an unattractive tan color that I repainted with Chalk Paint.



Thanks so much for stopping by to see the finished product....for now at least!  I'll be linking to...

  2. That looks so wonderful Marianne! I think you added the perfect finishing touches to it and I love the idea of using the paper from Marshalls to cover the books! :-) I always save mine too but never really know what to do with them so they are just sitting in a big stack...now I know how to use them. Everything looks truly gorgeous!

  7. This is so fun !! I love how you layered white frames on your over mantel, yet tied it in with the main mantel, by adding colorful garland. Love all the books, too (and cute Mrs. Pumpkin).
