Brown, Teal and Yellow Fall Mantle Decor

Good Morning!  Finally, it feels like the right time to start pulling out the fall decor.  Oh, it's still plenty warm here, buuutttt... I am feeling hints of a change coming in our weather.  I am also very eager and so ready to embrace some of the more comforting colors of fall. Especially after visiting many of your beautiful blogs.  Thanks for the nudge!

My choice of warm colors for the season are browns, teals and golden yellows. 

I realize the whole blue and brown color combination maybe yesterdays news for many but not for me.  I just love this color combination even more so during the fall.


I also love to use copper for fall color decorating.  It has such a rich amber hue to me!

You may remember my fall vases that I found at a resale store several years back.  Yes, I am still dragging out the old stuff, but hey, I like it and it still works well in here this time of year.  I especially love the bamboo vases.  I know bamboo is usually more associated with summer but because these vases are such a darker brown they have always seemed more appropriate for fall decorating to me.   The dried grasses, cattails and leaves were still looking good to me but I added just a few pops of yellow into the mix with the small sunflowers to brighten things up a bit more.



My glass pumpkins are my favorites and pretty much set the tone for the mantle.  For some reason I was thinking I had another glass one that I added last year but have not found it so maybe I never did buy it.  Oh, it's rough getting older and trying to remember what all you have packed away. LOL!

I did add something new to the mix this year.  I came across these brown and teal ceramic candlesticks at a resale store recently and immediately knew I would be using them on my mantle.  I think they sort of have a bit of Tuscany feel to me, wouldn't you agree?


The sign was purchased a few years ago when I was working for Stein Mart.  This is the first time I've used it here under the mantle.  I can't believe I didn't think of this before. 

I am going to attempt to join a few parties today if I can remember how to link up as it's been quite some time since I have.  Join me at the following links for so much more inspiration okay?

Well, if you happen to stop by today and take a peek thank you so much!
I truly hope you enjoyed your time here.  Mostly, thank you all for your continued blogging of such beautiful decorating.  I always enjoy visiting your blogs for inspiration when time permits and can only hope that I've also given you just a bit of the same. 

Have a wonderful day and great week!

  4. Gorgeous! Really and truly I love that color combination. I did it in my guest bath, but you did it so much prettier on your mantel. I'm a huge fan of the fall colors with blues of any hue.

    (Nice to see a post from you, too!)
