Simple Elegant Autumn Mantel with Balsam Hill

When it comes to autumn decor... 

I am all about those soft and neutral colors and tones. 

Until I am ready for a bit more warm and traditional autumn look.

Sometimes it just happens.

Those baby boo pumpkins and pretty pastels for autumn are all over the house

and then... 

out of the blue... 

a pop of bittersweet orange and rose hips 

whisper sweet nothings to me.

And says...

'Autumn' like a crisp fall breeze blowing through the room.

And that breeze brought along something I used a few months back and rediscovered.

 A now perfectly weathered and aged fresh leaf garland

from a summer styling that had long dried up

and turned the most amazing shades of

 'autumn'

And those candles....can we talk about those for a second? 

That beautiful warm glow cast from those flickering candles

welcomes you to sit down and enjoy a warm autumn view.

And all together... 

a fall mantel starts to appear.

My best tip for autumn decor- or any decor really is to decorate with what you love

and to mix fresh and faux for a long lasting beautiful decoration.

I am excited to be joining my Balsam Hill family for the Splendor of Autumn tour and sharing a few of my favorite pieces for autumn this year.

Because I like to keep it simple-

I used just 3 things to get the look on the mantel.

candles, wreath, garland

The Candles

These are the Miracle Flame Candles-

complete with same 'realistic flicker' just like Disneyland uses in their decor.

They are wax... but they are faux. And they are AMAZING. 

And even better- on remote control. 

On, Off, More light, Less light, Faster, Slower- you name it.

And you can even set them on a timer.

 And when I have about 2 dozen of these beauties flickering away

and I am visiting guests or watching a movie- 

no worries about those candles starting a fire.

The Garland

 As I mentioned- an old fresh garland that was dried from summer. 

But if you want to get the look- the Country Fields Foliage has a lot of natural elements mixed with those warm autumn colors

Or the Magnolia Garland would be perfect as well.

The Wreath

That autumn wreath was here for a quick photo...

and then it moved.

:)

Out to the greenhouse where it is absolutely autumn perfection.

I will be sharing a closer look at the greenhouse decked for autumn 

in another post.
