Eclectic + Rustic Fall Mantel and Built-ins
I took part in the Home Depot style challenge to create an awesome Fall mantel for my home! It was so fun and easy to take items I already had around the house, as well as deconstruct a few store bought items, to create this look.
I think something that is always key when decorating, is to remain true to your own style. I love being able to go in to a store, pick up an item, and visualize how I can take that item and deconstruct it to fit my exact taste.
I took these wooden creates and used one as a typical crate, but the other as more of a shelf. Also, the leaves and pumpkin decor falling out of the one create- that is all decorative toppings that came on another item I bought, but didn't want it on! Don't throw out pieces you deconstruct, because you never know how else you can use them!
For the Thankful banner I simply cut out cardboard and wrapped the letter in some fake leaves. I love that it gives off an Anthropolige look, while being much cheaper than anything you could ever buy there! I also loved using a vintage trophy to hold my dried sprigs rather than a typical vase or pitcher.
