Grandin Road Inspirational Mantel

Debbiedoos is having her  Magazine Copy Cat challenge again....It's so much fun. I was browsing through Grandin Road's sale catalog and the  Fall mantel caught my eye.
Mine is somewhat different, but I love the idea of using a frame.  Their mantel is far more rustic, but you get the idea.


                            Here's my inspiration......Below


Like I said, it is quite different, but I was inspired to use picture frames.  I am using the frames from a previous post, regarding my husband's retirement party.





I added two tall rust vases on each side of the fireplace to create more Fall decor. I added the lit branches for night time drama.

If you look closely, you can see my reflection in the glass....LOL

I am linking up with the following blogs .  Thank you all for visiting.  Have a great week!
