My Fall Mantel with Oscar the Owl

Fall officially starts this Saturday.

Officially here its still very warm.

But I needed my New England touches.

I loved last year's Fall Mantel

But this year I wanted to do something different.

I did use a lot of the same elements.

My  Fall Wreath

My Grown Up Wee Little Pumpkins

Dictionary Page Canvases.

And of course all of my favorite materials

Burlap and Book Pages.

The biggest makeover I did was paint my Mantel shelf

I was getting tired of the black.

I used the same grey I used on my Ugly Duckling Makeover

and I even added a shelf.

I am liking my two tiered Mantel now.

Best thing is all that I purchased was the twiggy branches.

(on 75% off at JoAnn's in the damaged pile)

And Mom bought me the Owl

His name is Oscar.

And I named him....not the 6 year old.

The more I look at it the more I love it.

I can enjoy it for a few weeks 

Until the 6 year old starts on me about Halloween

So what do you think about the two shelves?
