Soooo it started with this wreath (thanks for all your encouragement, by the way). Whatever I did to the mantle was just gonna have to work around this bad boy.
I shopped the house for most everything. I snatched these cone trees up at Hobby Lobby a few years ago, and I’ve loved them ever since. They’re the perfect sparkle and color for this spot.
I basically shopped the house for the other items. It’s amazing how fun it can be to move things around and feel like they’re new. It also helps that I stick to a general color scheme throughout my home. It sure makes it easier to shop it!
I knew I wanted some extra pops of orange this year, so the only things I purchased were the two glass pieces below. One was .99 and the other was $1.99. Big spender, I know.
Orange sticks in the candle below. $4.99 at Meijer three years ago. Another lucky find, I guess!
I definitely wanted something a little more streamlined since Halloween had a lot going on! It’s festive, yet calming for me. Can’t go wrong with that! Of course, after all that work, my husband’s response about the mantle was, “Yeah. Nice. I like how cheap it was.” Of course you do, dear.

I love the things from Hobby Lobby! Love them. Pretty pretty:)
You have such a way with words. Like fallification-ism-ty. That sums it up!
Your new mantelscape looks really pretty! Your Halloween mantel was great, but this is just beautiful–festive, but calm and soothing. Just right for November. I really like the pops of orange–they look great mixed in with your neutrals!
I love it! It looks beautiful. I love the sparklies from Hobby Lobby. So pretty!
Love the new mantle-scape! I dream of having one of my own to decorate one day! That's going to take a bit of construction though, since we need to remodel the entire room first…for now, I'll live vicariously through you if that's ok. 🙂
What a perfect mantel vignette!
Love the touches of orange…and I'm with Richella……your way with words is superior-fied.

Pretty colors! Perfect for November. 🙂 🙂
I just love the way you decor your mantel (always!)
Oh, how I love this wreath. Just think, for Christmas you could do a little bit of fake snow on the edges. It's so beautiful.
I love hobby lobby! Just took a trip down there to make my own winter wreath..with little red cardinals and all. lol. did you make your wreath? What a cute idea.
I love it! I am drooling over those cone trees! Just adorable.
Very nice! I really dig the orange! And that pinecone wreath is just awesome:)
I so wish we had Hobby Lobby! Looks lovely. Love the pops of orange
I think your fallification is a supersensation and it must have taken megamagination for that substantimplementation. Yo, kindreds for life. Love, 799
Very nice. I love that wreath. You did a fantastic job.
The wreath turned out great and I love all the pops of orange (my favorite color). One suggestion – would your candle fit into the orange glass dish?
Love the wreath and the mantle looks beautiful.

Ohhhhh soooo pretty Chris : )
This is beautiful! I love all the orange. I'm pretty sure I would hire you to come and decorate my home! Amazing.
Looks great. I love the sparkle of those cones and the orange is just perfect for fall.
This is very simple and pretty ! Love it !

BEAUTIFUL, gosh this is awesome enough to leave up YEAR ROUND. It is extremely calming, and a pleasure to look at. The orange is just the right color. You gave such an awesome tutorial on that pinecone wreath, and my 11 year old would have probably said the same thind, lol. So cute.
I host a weekly party **Amaze me August**, and a Christmas one **6 weeks 2 JINGLE**, I would be soooo HAPPY if you would share some of your awesome projects on there.
I am new to your blog, and very happily following you now. So, I'll be back. 🙂
Thanks a ton.
Bella 🙂
oh! gorgeous mantle! You just took my breath away! Seriously. You. Are. A-MAZ-ING!
Your mantle is beautiful. The simplicity and the pop of orange is perfect.

Lovely!! Man those colors are awesome. There so easy to live with even year round. I don't remember seeing those Hobby Lobby trees. Love the splase of glitz it gives. I swear, I have got to go to Salvation army more often. Can't believe how nice your glass pieces are. Geesh…99 and 1.99. I have got to shop there. Very lovely Chris.
Will see it close up in less than 2 wks. Mom
The cones are so pretty. Simple, yet festive. And I love that your mom comments on your posts. Too sweet.
I’ve seen your wreath before and still can’t get over how gorgeous it is! The sparkly trees are a perfect complement to it too.
This has to be the best fall mantel I have seen! Clean, striking, happy. Your wreath is simple and has lovely rich, saturated color, and I love that you “shopped” your house for the rest. That’s what i do every year. I thought about getting my mantel photo-ready for Fall, but if I do, it’ll be as close to a copy of yours as I can get.
Cheers!
Valerie
What a nice comment, Valerie! Thank you!
Beautiful! That wreath is perfection and the big satin orange bow is luscious! Fantastic job.
Your mantel’s always rock my world, and this one’s no exception!
LOVE the colors…and that pinecone wreath is TDF!!!
Lay 🙂

Love it Chris! Your pinecone wreath is absolutely gorgeous. I’m officially swooning. 🙂
