Seasonal Mantle Makeover

This is the mantle before the makeover. I usually change it for the seasons. I am having a hard time this year deciding just what to do for it. I sure wish I had a wonderful winter scene for the picture change...no such luck...I always have the picture leaning instead of hanging to make it easier for me to change...

Another picture of the mantle before the seasonal makeover. My husband says the picture looks like autumn to him, he may be right, I just wanted something more colorful...you know just a little warmer...








I waited a long time to have this wonderful mantle built, and I still love it just as much. The wreath on the front reminds me of the wreath on the center of the bed frame , you may remember from the bedroom makeover.....

I just love the rope detail...

I can't believe my husband bought me this wonderful gift, boy will this make my life easier. It was from Best Buys and was 39.00. I am so excited to use it....

Yeah for husbands....

This is a lot of the stuff I am going to use on the mantle. My sister Bobbie gave me some items I have had for some time and some things are new...

I especially love the acorns, as you know from my other postings....

These are gonna be nice with the leaves to bring that autumn look I think it came out looking similar to what I was thinking. I like the little quail standing around and looking for food....

I'm just not sure if I should change the picture back to the leaf picture or leave this one? Let me know what you think....




Maybe I will just look for it awhile and see what happens. By the time I decide on something different, it will be time to set up something for Christmas.....

I Hope you had an enjoyable visit, I'm so happy you like to come Around the House...Please feel free to leave a comment, I read them all and always love to hear from you....Thanks Susan @between naps on the porch for hosting today
