This is officially my first fall mantel decor post.\u00a0 For four of the five years that we have lived in our home, there was a black cable box sitting on the mantel, and it was like a thorn in my side.\u00a0 Last year, we switched to another system, and the box disappeared.\u00a0 What a great day that was!!!\u00a0 However, since then I have just enjoyed the whiteness and nothingness of the mantel because I really didn’t know what to do with it.\u00a0 You see, the television is still on the wall above the mantel, and I could not obstruct the view.\u00a0 Mr. Right wouldn’t go for that.\u00a0 Recently, though, after seeing a photo on a blog, I decided it was time to start decorating around the television.<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

\"Screen<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

I saw this arrangement on Emily Henderson’s<\/a> blog, and it served as the inspiration for me to add some things to our mantel.\u00a0 It wasn’t the colors or the items that inspired me, but it was the shape of the things she used.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0\"Fall<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

So, I pulled out some items in fall colors and came up with a decorated mantel that works around a television.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Fall<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

\u00a0I added the blue and white as a neutral.\u00a0 Go figure.\u00a0 It works, though.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Fall<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

I bought this oblong wooden bowl in Africa on our last trip.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Fall<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

I had this\u00a0 cedar box when I was a little girl.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Fall<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Now, I get it.\u00a0 There’s a black television screen looking back at us, but this mantel decor is so much better than before, and I think Mr. Right will be able to see the news and sports without any obstructions.\u00a0 By the way, he made it back to the USA from his six-week bicycle tour<\/a> in Europe last Thursday, and we are glad he is home.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Take care.<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
