Today, here I am sharing with you my made over fall mantle! :) It's just now starting to feel like fall here, so I'm now just starting to welcome it in, a month later! Here is the messy before...
Ever since reading Clutterfree with Kids, I've been trying to get more simple. Here is my simpler after...
Well, I found a quote by John Donne from his poem The Autumnal ... "no spring nor summer beauty hath such grace as I have seen in one autumnal face." Granted the poem is about the stage of life and more with the beauty that comes with maturity. And, we may not be at that stage of life just yet... but I liked it.
So I printed it out on Inkjet Translucent Vellum

and put it in the picture frame we used for our announcement pictures for when we were going to have baby girl (you can see them here). It is just a simple 12"x14" picture frame. Sort of like this one here 12x14 Satin Black Picture Frame
(affiliate link), but a couple inches smaller on the longer side. I backed it with scrapbook paper.I think it adds a little bit to the mantle, and I like it. Even hubby said that he likes it! Win!
I decided to make them available for you too. That way it can save you some time if you want to use the quote. I have two versions, one with background and one without.
What do you think?
