Fall Mantel With Dried Hydrangeas

My mantel is celebrating fall! As many of you know, I LOVE shades of blue, green and purple. I’m not a lover of orange so you may see one or two orange pumpkins outside, but inside we’re celebrating with more muted colors, golds and jewel tones.
When I think of fall and the cooler weather, my thought wander to good books, giant cups of tea, apple picking and crackling fires.
I also adore hydrangeas. I cut and dried some from our garden for our mantel and they are the prettiest shade of purple and blue.


A blog follower gave me some old cabinet doors so I painted them in Graphite Chalk Paint® to give a dark background to the mantel.
One pumpkin was sprayed gold while the other craft pumpkin was left natural to compliment the old pages in these books.

So, simple and easy and affordable! Have you started decorating for fall?!? If so, how are you decorating this year?
