Fall Chalkboard and Bookpage Mantel

 Good morning!
So it is no secret that I L-O-V-E chalkboards.. and anything with bookpages.. My Fall Mantel incorporates both of those things!

I went to Home Depot and had a piece of wood cut for this vintage ( bought at a flea Market ) frame..I then painted it with chalkboard paint and here it is. I think I might dry brush off white paint over the gold on the frame ..Just haven't had time yet !

 I cut an oak leaf shape from book pages.. folded them in half and glued them with hot glue in clusters of 2 and 3 to a strip of black and white gingham...Faux cotton branches ..fall leaves and berries..sweater pumpkins and glittery pumpkins are all layered on the mantel.

 Chalk painted mason jars tied with black gingham check fabric hold a trio of sweater pumpkins. The white wood lanterns are from Homegoods.

 There is also black check burlap ribbon entwined thru the cotton and leaves..and a strand of white lights to light it up at night!

So ..when I was doing the chalkboard this orange one was my first ..I didn't like the way it looked so it got erased and a white and black plaid pumpkin is the replacement ..

The Fall home tour starts today at Brenda's
