Rustic Fall Mantel and Wooden Toolbox Centerpiece

School is back in session and the mornings are getting a little cooler, which means it is time to break out the pumpkins and fall decor. I enjoy mixing neutral shades with the traditional orange and yellows of fall to create a rustic feel in my decor.

Rustic Fall Mantel

I styled my mantel around Mai Autumn's Summer Bouquet Giclee Print that I won from a giveaway over at My Turquoise Home. It has all the perfect fall colors in it. I used my teal and white painted faux pumpkins to offset the bright fall colors in the leaf garland.

I brought in some rustic details by wrapping a candle and mason jar with burlap and twine. I used the mason jar as a vase for the faux Sunflowers, which is my favorite fall flower!

I brought in some wood for an organic feel by using a wooden block to give the mini pumpkin some height and added a rustic wooden pumpkin a got for a couple bucks on clearance at the end of the season last year.

A caramel apple candle and some pine cones are the perfect finish to this rustic fall mantel.

Wooden Toolbox Centerpiece

I also want to share this easy centerpiece I made using a wooden toolbox. I started with a bed of faux moss, then added some more of the leaf garland. I got this at the Dollar Tree and it comes in sections so you can use it over a large area or break it up like I did here.

I then arranged some mini foam pumpkins and pine cones in the toolbox around the garland. I stuck a few more single leaves in to fill in the gaps.

This makes the perfect centerpiece and it took less than 10 minutes and $5 bucks of Dollar Tree supplies!
