We made the fall garland & the Pallet Wreath Ourselves.

In our family room, I keep the fireplace mantel really simple centered with a faux fall leaf wreath and our cedar post houses modeled after all our previous homes.

In our dining room a beautiful magnolia wreath, a dough bowl with some wheat and candles keep it simple yet autumnal in our fall farmhouse tour.
