I’m not exactly a party animal.
And by not exactly, I mean I can’t remember the last time I stayed up past 10 p.m. And getting wild means having more than one glass of wine with dinner.
But, since there’s a mantel party in town (aka the It’s Fall Y’all Link Party at Thrifty Decor Chick), I figured I could get my party outfit on and join the fun. While I have yet to get out 99 percent of my fall decorations, I did spruce up the mantel for the party. Consider this putting lipstick on while you are still in yoga pants.
My $2 boxwood wreath is still looking great. The leaves have dried out but they are still nice and green. The burlap adds great texture.
I feel like this is just fall enough to pass for seasonal decor. Someday, I may get more out of the boxes in the basement, but for now, a few pumpkins and some Indian corn are just enough to make me feel a little fall-like.
Head over to Thrifty Decor Chick for tons more seasonal inspiration!

I still love the boxwood wreath, and I wish I had a friend with a boxwood plant, lol. Your mantel looks pretty, and I fell like I have to rush home and decorate mine after reading all theses mantel posts!

Your mantel turned out great! I’m jealous of your ambition. I have never been a seasonal decorator. I NEVER change my mantel, but I really really should. I like your simplistic take on it. THAT is something I could do 🙂
Katja @ Shift Ctrl Art says
You mantle turned out GREAT!! Love your two dollar wreath!!
the cape on the corner says

Kristen says
I’m incredibly jealous of your mantle (it’s obviously on my dream home list – so one day I can join in with this fun) because it looks awesome! Did you DIY the “W” pumpkin??
Kim@NewlyWoodwards says
I didn’t DIY it. It was a gift, but it was from Hobby Lobby. I saw them this year, too.
cassie says

Alli says
Looks lovely! Simple and classy!

With a toddler running around…I’m now feeling the pain of not having a proper mantle! I need to devise some way to have some sort of decorative display that’s more than 2 feet tall, lest I want it dragged all over the house. 🙂 Yours looks lovely!
