Rustic Glam Fall Mantle
Was the first day of Fall as gorgeous in your city as it was here?! We got to experience a significant drop in temperatures and a morning without humidity- pretty near perfect! In honor of the official start of Fall, I put together a “rustic glam” mantle. Of course, we don’t really have a true mantle, so our console table subbed in.
I got some glam inspiration from this little fox I found at Target. Have you seen him yet? I passed him up a couple of times, but recently couldn’t resist. Foxes are the new owl. 🙂 He was originally a nice, light natural wood tone, but I sprayed him gold. He’s wearing a handwritten welcome tag and sitting next to my very favorite Pottery Barn lamp.
I wanted the main scheme of the table to focus on the (mostly) real pumpkins and a few pops of bling. Oranges, cream, and forrest green are so pretty together with metallic silver and gold. I felt the display was rustic with the wooden dough bowl, woven basket below, veggies, and burlap lining the bowl. I almost embellished the pumpkins, but went with my friends on Instagram (@honeywerehome) who recommended keeping them natural. Thanks for weighing in! 🙂
I found the eucalyptus at Hobby Lobby for just a couple of dollars and placed them inside hammered vases from Target. They were both originally silver and I sprayed one gold. I love the height, shape, and natural color of the eucalyptus.
I found the dough bowl at a Christmas fair and use it all year long. Most of the time it’s in the kitchen holding onions, potatoes, garlic, avocados- items I cook with often. Here, I lined it with cream-colored burlap and fit 11 small pumpkins and a few mandarin oranges (to fill in the gaps) inside.
This table is fitted with a shelf below so I like to take advantage of the extra decorating space.
The mercury glass candleholders were from Target (I think) as were the candles. I wrapped ribbon and washi tape around the candles and added a decorative leaf to two.
To pretty up the pillows, I added decorative ribbon. The burlap and satin ribbon is my favorite. The ombre green throw is from West Elm.
I made the wreath very easily with faux hydrangeas and a straw ring form. Go here for the full tutorial.

Thanks Heidi- I like hanging wreaths on mirrors.
So, so pretty! I just love how you add an extra "glam" to all your projects 🙂
I'm running out of gold spray paint! 😉
It is beautiful Megan. I have the same white pumpkins…need to spray the leaves gold like yours…looks so much better. I wondered if that was the wooden fox when I saw your pic on IG. So cute.
Yep! Target also has a fox in a lying position.
Picked up the fox (passed him up the other day, but after seeing yours gold had to get it 🙂 and I also found the cutest squirrel too. Of course, both got a healthy dose of spray paint!! LOL
It looks goregeous! Beautiful job
Thanks Amanda!
Where did you get the grey pillow with gold stripe?? So gorgeous!
Hi Becca- it's from Target- the Nate Berkus collection.
I love that you are always transforming things into your own. Spray painting the fox, I never would have thought to do that. Lovely as always.
Your "mantel" looks great! I love the simplicity of it with that little extra glam touch, nice work!
So so beautiful, Megan. I think it's my favorite mantel you have done. And that wreath is so pretty.
That means so much coming from you! Thanks Court!
OK, I really need to get moving here! There's not a single 'fall' item in my house yet (unless you count the Halloween decorations sitting in a box in the basement) and it's practically October! You've just inspired me. Thx! 🙂
You have such beautiful taste. I love how it came together. Yay fall!
I absolutely LOVE it 🙂 Your amazing girl!
I absolutely love it!! You did an amazing job!! Love all the pumpkins!! It was wonderful Sunday to have cooler weather in Houston. Yay!!
It's really beautiful Megan! A gorgeous welcome to a wonderful Fall season! I have to search for that fox. I love him.
Looks amazing! I love the rustic glam combo! Would you share where the mirror is from?
HI Launa! The mirror is from Z Gallerie.
So pretty! I am crushing on that fox too 🙂
That table is PERFECT. I love the 'rustic glam' of it all. I just posted about a 'rustic' fall tablescape and it reminds me of the pumpkins you used! You put it all together perfectly! Loving it all 🙂
I love your "mantel"! The fox is cute with the little tag around its neck. 🙂
I love it, especially the mix of metals and the rough textures.
so cute! feels like a welcome to your home and to fall!
Hey Megan!
I have to say, your pics are gorgeous. Do you take them during a certain time of the day or at specific settings? Would you mind sharing with me?
Thank you!
Melissa
Thanks Melissa! I use a tripod so I can lower the shutter setting. Most of these photos were taken with my Nikon D90, Aperature f4, shutter speed 1/4, and ISO 640. I usually close the blinds so that the light is even in the room. Hope this helps! 🙂
love the mixed metals and all the pumpkins!
Ah it looks so good. Love the lamp you have there too!
Looks so pretty Megan! Love it!
After seeing your great post on Pinterest( Beautiful fall decorating!) I am thinking about purchasing that great console table from World Market for our beach home— do you love it? Any cons?
Thanks, Jan
Yes, I love it, can't think of any cons at all!
Just bought the Fox and Squirrel at Target and now on the hunt for spray paint. I LOVE the white and gold ceramic pumpkin. Did you also find that item at Target?
This is perfect! Also was wondering where you got your console table from? It's exactly what I've been looking for!
It's the Everett Foyer Table from World Market and is 25% off till November 26th. I've had my eye on it for a while and was waiting for it to go on sale! 🙂
Oozing gorgeousness!! Loving your blog! So talented! Can you tell me where you found your table? Absolutely gorgeous.
Love it!, do u remember what color you painted the wall!? 🙂
