{31 Days} Glitter Pumpkins and Fall Mantel

Note:  Due to some unforeseen family illnesses, I am having to play catch-up on my 31 days challenge! Thank you for reading!

Day 11: Glitter Pumpkins and Fall Mantel

I love fall! We are still feeling some summer heat but we're getting there. To help give Texas a hint, I did a little fall decorating here in our home.

 I decided this year to use brighter and cooler colors than the typical warm fall colors. I created a yarn wrapped leaf wreath, painted a chevron pumpkin and added a little bling with colorful glitter pumpkins.

These pumpkins are easy! I started by sponge brushing on some modge podge on the top of the pumpkin, leaving the stem clean.

Then I sprinkled on some glitter out of my stash from my sorority days.

I love the color and sparkle that these pumpkins add to our bright fall mantel.

11 down! 20 to go!!

Autumn Mantel

My autumn mantel has (halfway) come together! Everything is in place but it still needs a little tweaking in the next few days.

 

 I have big plans for this plain grapevine wreath that involves tons of prickly pine cones and maybe a little glitter! 

I love the so-ugly-it's-cute gourd, squash, pumpkin... whatever it is in the middle! I just couldn't pass it up! 

These pumpkins have been dying for a little color! They're pretty the way they are but I could see a modern pop of fall colors.

What all have you decorated for the season? Be sure to check out all of the great fall mantels at the It's Fall Y'all Link Party at The Lettered Cottage. 

Happy Fall Yall!

Happy Fall Y'all!

Fall is right around the corner (according to the weather man- 4:05 a.m. on Friday morning)! I am in the mood to do a little fall decorating to really get in the spirit!

So far I have made a wreath for our door.

I bought the flowers, pumpkin, and berries at Hobby Lobby and made the sign from an old board out behind our shop. (I won't go in to detail on how I cut the board- I'll just say it involved no modern or electric tool and I wouldn't suggest trying it at home...)

But I'm not done with my fall decor! Take a look at some inspiration from all over the blogland....
