this post. It’s so easy, takes less than 2 hours, and you don’t need a special tool! It’s a must do for the best look. I was so excited to have this done because it allowed me to decorate my sofa table like a mantle!
Let me show you how I decorated my fall “mantle” this year!
Fall “Mantle” Decorating
On the left side of my mantle I left my glass jug vase with wood beads around it and placed a steel blue and a light rust pumpkin stem in it. Then I placed a blue pumpkin in front of it and a picture frame with a fall picture of my son inside next to it.

white farmhouse candlesticks and placed some styrofoam pumpkins in front of it. Next to that I placed a mustard colored velvet pumpkin.

Lower Shelf
With the top of my fall faux mantle complete, it was time to start on the bottom. For some reason that’s always difficult for me! Who knows why?!
I left a basket full of blankets and draped a tan blanket over the edge, then filled it with fabric and a DIY pumpkin that I made a few years ago. I wish I could push the basket further to left edge, but I can’t because it needs to hide the round mount where the TV cords come out. We had a smaller table when we mounted the TV, so it was right on the left edge then. There are a few pumpkins behind the orange one that you can’t see in this photo, but you can from other angles. Then on the right I left the two blue vases but filled the bowl with white pumpkins. In front of that I placed a copper and bronze pumpkin. To the left of the basket, I placed a matching candlestick in a lamb’s ear and pumpkin wreath with a fabric pumpkin in front.
That’s all folks!
What do you think? I love how it turned out!
