Fall Decor

Fall Decorating at Feathers in Our Nest

As you probably know by now, fall is my favorite season, and I couldn’t resist stealing a few minutes recently to decorate my mantle!

I decided to go with a blue/white/green color scheme this year, since those are the predominant colors in my living room already.

I love how it feels so “me” while still being very fall-ish too!

This beautiful pillow cover is my new favorite thing!  (Made by Cortney at Faith Home Love.)

In the interest of full disclosure, all of these photos were taken before one of my offspring smeared lotion all over the blue couch!

Summer Floral Mantle

by

This weekend I decorated my mantle for summer!  I wanted something fresh and pretty to look at.

I spend lots of time reading books to the kids on the couch in the living room, so this is such a cheery sight while we snuggle.

The sunflowers, stock, and alstroemeria are from Harris Teeter, and the crepe myrtle and honeysuckle vines are from our back yard.

I don’t always have fresh flowers in my home, but when I do, I take LOTS of pictures!

Everyday Mantle Decor

by


I love decorating my mantle seasonally, but it feels like there is a loooong stretch between Valentine’s Day and fall!

I like to pull out some “neutral” decorations that coordinate with my living room to display year-round.

sources: topiary: thrifted // books: Spurgeon, Niequist, and a thrift store find // bird: gift (Michael’s?) // picture: Big Lots // plant: TJ Maxx (I painted the box) // lantern: gift (TJ Maxx?) // fleur de lis: Hobby Lobby

I’m currently trying to decide whether to leave the picture propped up in the center of the mantle or to hang it on the wall directly above the mantle.  What do you think?

Do you tend to decorate for all the seasons, or do you have an “everyday” decor for your home?
I do a mixture of both, but I tend to have an “everyday” style, with the exception of fall and Christmas.
