My {not so} Fall Mantel

Over the last few weeks, I have shared a number of ideas for DIY fall projects and ways to decorate your home for the season. So today, I thought I would share my mantel for fall...
It looks a lot like how it did a few months ago, doesn't it?
I already put out a number of fall decorations this year, and decided that I didn't want to take more time and money to decorate the mantel (or any other spaces in the house), when I already love the way it looks.
Here's the thing about decorating: it takes time. It doesn't need to be an overnight accomplishment, especially since all those little purchases throughout the home add up quite a bit. Perhaps next year I will purchase/make a lovely new wreath for above my mantel, but for now I'm content with what I have here.
This is the time of year where Pinterest starts (well, continues actually) becoming overwhelming to many, as the blogosphere turns into a sea of seasonal/holiday decorations for every nook and cranny of our homes. I'm here to tell you, don't get overwhelmed!!
I have been told many times that Pinterest and blogs (like my own), make a lot of people self conscious about their decor (or, lack there of). But the thing to remember is that we all have different lives and different priorities. Maybe one of these scenarios rings a bell?
Enjoyed the project?

I only decorate if I want to, for years I didn't want to and now am starting to enjoy it again a bit. The years I didn't I was grateful to strangers who allowed me to enjoy their outside decor and family who let me enjoy theirs and now I have the whole net...
