Updated Fall Mantle..

ciao_bella — Sun, 22 Sep 2024 12:53:36 GMT

Good morning... Some may remember I posted a picture about a week ago of my fireplace mantle decorated for Fall. I had mostly used what I had in my Fall storage box, with the exception of the LED Mirror Glass 2 Pumpkins and Gourd from BJs ($34 for the set.)

Yesterday, I stopped at Aldi to pick up some milk and I saw, in their weekly changing center aisle goodies, a round, wooden fall plaque that said 'hello fall.' It was marked $8.49. They had two different designs available. I picked it up with the intention to use it on my front door instead of the usual fall wreath.

When I came home, I did put it on the front door, but I realized that the wooden plague covered the peep hole to see who's at the door, so I took it off. Not knowing what to do with it, I placed it in front of the mirror on the fireplace, which still had the small orange/brown leaves wreath on it. To my surprise, the floral on the wooden plaque, placed against the existing wreath, looked like it was made that way. (First picture) The new $8.49 wooden fall plaque that has some fall floral decoration and bow on it, placed up against the original orange/brown leave wreath. (The second picture is just the original orange/brown leaves wreath.) I like it together. What do you all think?

@ciao_bella, your fall mantle is beautiful. I hope you have a wonderfall season sharing it with friends and family. Please share photos again when you decorate for the holidays.

@ciao_bella Great addition! And as someone else posted, there's always room for one more... or two!

Not a fan of 'decorative signage' so my preference is to skip it. To me, the wall looks better without it. Given the overall fall theme and colors, it seems superfluous.

I like the two together, looks like they were made to be used that way to me. I have a huge corner fieldstone fireplace but it does not have a mantle. so wish it did, yours makes things look so welcoming.

I really like the first picture better.

Looks a lot different with the lights & candles on.

Nice fall decor for your mantle.
