Let's Gather - A Thanksgiving Mantlescape

Hi there, if you are here for the first time from the Let's Gather Blog Hop, Welcome!

I am Nikki, and I am thrilled for you to be here. I am stop number 6, so by the time you have landed here, you should already be very inspired for Thanksgiving.

I will not be hosting, or even cooking anything for Thanksgiving this year, so I decided to create a Thanksgiving Mantlescape that we can enjoy all month long.

And when I say mantlescape, I really mean that I decorated the top of my upright piano because I don't have a mantle to decorate.

I wanted to keep things fairly neutral and very simple, so I gathered a few things that I already had around the house.

Supplies
-Burlap
-Teal Burlap Ribbon
-Teal Yarn
-Ceramic Pumpkins
-Mercury Glass Candle Stick Holders
-Chalkboard

 

Tips for Creating a Simple Mantlescape
1. Don't over think it.
2. Use items with varying heights.
3. Mix finishes or styles to keep it interesting.
4. Add texture in some way.
5. Less is more.

 I hope you have been inspired to create a Simple Thanksgiving Mantlescape for your your home.

Fall-ified!

The house has been fall-ified. 

Just a few touches here and there.

 My goal was to not spend a dime.

I needed a little bit more filler so I used a styrofoam sphere, 

pieces of a brown paper bag, and modge podge. 

Instant, cheap filler.

 The end.
