I was just looking up at our mantle this morning and realizing that fall is quickly approaching and in a few short weeks the kids will be off to school. Once the kids are back in school I start my fall deep down cleaning and decorating. After September Occasional of course.
Thought I'd share my summer mantle with you. The long piece of picket fencing I snatched before they were all gone at the store. Lora made a huge score of them last year at a sale. I brought it home and after a few coats of poly it was ready to come inside.
I love adding a little bit of unexpected architecture around the house. Our fireplace is situated in the corner of the room on an angled wall and the fence was a little longer than the angled wall. It sits out from the wall and the picture behind it by several inches, I love the 3-D effect it gives the whole vignette.
