It's not quite fall in Texas yet, but with temperatures starting to drop below 100 degrees lately, it must be right around the corner! I decided to drag down my "fall" bins out of the attic this morning to see what I had to work with for the mantel.
I'm actually proud to say I pulled this off without spending a dime. It's all about using what's on hand in different ways.
The book wreath is what pulls everything together for a Vintage Halloween feel. You can get your own book wreath at Urban Farmhouse. This wreath will transition from Halloween to Thanksgiving to Christmas through New Year's simply by changing the rest of the mantel around it.
Old book pages were an impromptu filler inside this lantern with a flickering flameless candle.
My trusty chunky pillar candles serve as stands for the platinum pumpkins I've had for years. Now they look like brand new accessories simply by placing them on the candle pillars.
Dollar Store finds include glittery skulls and black crowes from last year's store display at Urban Farmhouse.
Love this vintage candy black cat bucket!
I also grabbed a wooden planter crate that I've had sitting on my kitchen counter top and filled it with scrap pieces of burlap. Then I layered in some wooden pumpkins, dollar store pumpkins and an iron jack-o-lantern to create a seasonal display on my coffee table. Again, these were all pieces that I've collected over the years, but found a way to freshen them up a bit this year.
Hope you'll find ways to use some of the great accessories you already have laying around your house this year in your seasonal decor!
