Masculine Mantle

+ +

To me, Spring has a feminine feel
and Autumn has a more masculine feel.

I finally packed away the Summer Mantle to make way for the oranges, yellows, and browns of Autumn.
My boys go hunting for white-tailed deer and I went hunting in the attic for items to pull together to welcome in the tiniest bit  of cooler weather.

    HOLY COW!!!! I LOVE IT! You really outdid yourself this time! Are those REAL pumpkins? I can't get away with that look here but my daughter could at her house- So...maybe SHE will copy MissKopyKat herself. You did a BEAUTIFUL job- that is one of the prettiest mantles I have seen in Blogland! xo Diana

    I have a husband that hunts as well and I did a little incorporating of the antlers into my fall mantle. You have done a really stunning job of making it look elegant and masculine all at the same time. Well done!

    This mantle is AMAZING! It is one of the best I have viewed thus far! I love, love, love the stacked pumpkins on the candlestick, but then again the lanterns are an A+ as well! You mixed it up well!

    Your mantel is beautiful! I agree with the masculine feel of autumn. My husband is a huge hunter, and we have an abundance of antlers around our house (all in the man room right now). I may have to bring them out and incorporate them into den! Thanks for sharing!
