Hello!
I have some fun shelf and mantle decor ideas for you for the fall season.
When you have finished reading my fall shelf styling two ways post, be sure to check out the other ideas at the bottom of this post.
I don’t have a large mantle area to decorate so I decided to decorate my shelving for fall.
I am excited to show you what I did with some items from Walmart and a can of black spray paint and a can of grey spray paint!
Oh, the power of paint!
I spent under $100 and transformed my shelves for fall!
Here is what I did!
Here are the products I purchased:
The differences are subtle, but can you spot them?
Here’s a little help…….
It’s amazing what a little spray paint can do.
Here are the little houses before they got black spray paint:
I decided they worked great as bookends, but the color wasn’t really cohesive with the surroundings.
Now they look like little haunted houses and I love them!
The great planter with the birch logs is one of my new favorite finds.
The label reads “grey” but the color seemed a bit too green for me, so I sprayed it with grey spray paint.
The first photo is the before, and the second one is the after with the darker grey color.
And let’s talk about the steel pumpkin candle holder.
I love it, super cute, but I didn’t love the brown top.
Painting the whole thing black really makes the contrast between it and the candle so great.
What do you think of the subtle changes?
Are you ready to get your crafting on?
I am curious which way you prefer the shelf styling two ways.
Unpainted, or painted? Leave me a comment in the comment section, I would love to hear!
This week I’m joining some of my talented blogging friends for the Fall Seasonal Simplicity Series.
