Welcome to FABULOUS FRIDAY! It’s a day where I share 3 of my  favorite projects or bits of inspiration from the web this week and thank my top three referrers (3 fellow bloggers) for the traffic they sent my way in the past 7 days.

I decorated my mantle earlier in the week and shared some photos of it here. Then when I was on Pinterest a few days later I did a search for “fall mantels” just to see what other ideas were out there.

I’m sharing 3 of my favorites here today. 🙂

I adore this look from Denise In Bloom. How clever is it to decorate a lovely old mantle even if you don’t have a fire place? Genius! I love all of the soft white and grey tones with the splashes of color.

Here is another example of a decorated mantle that isn’t really a mantle. At first glance you’d never know! Visit Twig and Twirls to read more about it.

And you know what a color freak I am so you KNOW I’m crazy about this one from Miss Madison’s Charmed Life.

And finally, a BIG thank you to the 3 fellow bloggers who sent the most traffic my way this past week:

1. One Pretty Thing

2. Balzer Designs
