  2. I hope you don’t mind that I just splattered this all over facebook and pinterest. It’s absolutely perfect! I love it. And I MUST have that tutorial. 🙂

  3. What a gorgeous fall mantle…I think it’s the rustic simplicity that takes it over the top. I’ll be waiting for the tutorial on the flowers!

  4. Ooh, I *love* those brown paper flowers!!! As I scrolled down, I was so hoping the tutorial was posted…..I will definitely be checking back! The whole mantel is exactly as I would’ve done mine (if I had been so clever!) — love it!

  5. Super cute! How genius to use plain old BEANS up there. Everything looks great!

    Oh, and a manTLE is something you wear – like a coat. A mantle of snow on the ground, the mantle is the outside layer of the Earth, etc. A manTEL is the thing over your fireplace. 🙂

  6. Now typically I do not enjoy fall mantels. But. I do believe you have changed my mind! This is one of the prettiest fall mantels I’ve ever seen. You did a beautiful job & like everyone else, I love the unique, beautimous paper flowers! 🙂
