Fall Leaves and Pumpkins Please Fall Mantel
I’m so excited to share my Fall Leaves and Pumpkins Please Fall Mantel! I’m thrilled to share my cozy fall mantel decor this year, inspired by vibrant autumn leaves and charming pumpkins. Even with the lingering summer heat in Southern California, I’ve transformed my space into a welcoming fall haven. This autumn mantel centers around a simple DIY sign that’s easy to customize. Plus, I’m excited to join a talented group of bloggers sharing inspiring fall ideas, you can check them out below.

Easy DIY Fall Mantel: Leaves, Pumpkins, and Thrifted Treasures
You can see how I made my Fall Leaves and Pumpkins Please Sign here. It’s a super easy DIY project and it’s fun because you can customize it with whatever you want your sign to say.

I found some beautiful faux leaves and greenery to add to my mantel. With our blazing heat in Southern California we still don’t have even really pumpkins in the stores yet. So lots of faux to this mantel.

The galvanized bucket I found at our thrift store earlier in the year. Only cost me $1! I filled with with a variety of Oak branches and twigs to get the look I wanted.

You can find how I created those pretty mercury glass pieces in copper and burgundy HERE. I just love how they turned out. All those glass pieces were either 50 cents or $1.
I filled the copper bowl with some pinecones, acorns and a little white pumpkin.

A simple white pumpkin graces my burgundy mercury glass.

I love how the color turned out on the burgundy pieces. It reminds me of the vibrant colors you see in fall leaves.

Another copper mercury piece holds a little pinecone and a brown bottle holds a sprig of some vibrant yellow flowers. A lovely faux white pumpkin sits pretty between some dark pieces.

This fun wood piece was also a $1 thrift store find. Looks just like a leaf to me, which just adds to it’s fall charm.

A couple more burgundy pieces filled with pinecones and flowers.

And a fun, rustic twig pumpkin finishes off the mantel this year. I just love how it turned out and I hope you did too.

Your mantel turned out so lovely! I especially love the sign you made!!

Thank you Kim! I love a good thrift store find.
I love how you incorporated so many thrifted finds in your mantel. And it certainly looks like fall, even if the temperatures don’t feel like it.
Thank you! Yes… the temps just need to play along now.
It turned out so pretty, Maryann! I love how all of the rich colors pop against your beautiful stone in your fireplace.

Thank you Cindy!
Another beautiful mantel. I love your saying, “Fall leaves and Pumpkins Please!!” I’m right there with you. I just love fall. Here in PA it gets so pretty with all the changing leaves and cool weather. However, it doesn’t last nearly long enough and is too quickly followed by winter. Your mantel has the perfect mix of neutral elements, lots of texture and that pop of fall color I love.
It sounds lovely Patti! We don’t get much fall color here in So. Cal. unless we drive a while.
Your mantel looks so pretty and I especially love the color pallet you chose. Love the sentiment on your fall print. I’m definitely feeling that way !
Thanks Paula!
I love all your thrifted treasures … and that print is my favorite! Definitely my sentiment for fall!
Thanks Randi… Love thrifted treasures too!
Maryann – you are absolutely thrifty and creative! We love how you reimagined so many of your pieces into beautiful Fall decor. You mantel is gorgeous and can’t wait to see how to make the sign!
Thanks ladies!
Your entire mantel is so pretty, Maryann! I love the burgundy mercury glass and can’t wait to find out how you made it!
Thanks Suzy!
