I have a hard time decorating this mantel. The brick is from floor to ceiling and it sits in the corner of my dining room with a door on either side. I seem to lack for new ideas.
I went out on Sunday while hubby was watching the Patriots win and cut some bittersweet. I love bittersweet, but it is a highly invasive plant, so I only use it inside and then I burn it when I am done. I do love it so. It simply says fall to me.
Afternoon, beautiful Fall mantel, looks amazing.....love the Bittersweet, just says Autumn...Blessings Francine.
ReplyDeleteLove your mantle.... it is beautiful with the bittersweet. Do you grow your own? I usually use the fake stuff, but would love to have the real thing here and there.
ReplyDeleteHappy Fall!

ReplyDeleteIt all looks so nice!
ReplyDeleteBittersweet just makes it feel like Autumn!

Love how you decorated your mantle..looks really great! Janice
ReplyDeleteOh, your mantle is gorgeous...so fall! I love bittersweet! I am lucky to be able to get some each year. This year we have a nice new cat. I wonder if cats eat bittersweet and they should not. Do you know? I love your sweet Kema. Well, keep on decorating. It is that time of year!
