A Simple & Cozy Fall Fireplace Refresh with Wayfair.com

Creating a Rustic & Neutral Fall Centerpiece with Vintage Finds
Creating a rustic and neutral fall centerpiece with vintage finds and antiques simply requires that you have some fun vintage pieces in earth tones and neutrals, layered with some pretty faux fall stems.

Layered with some greens and earthy fall florals, a vintage marshmallows tin, old books, and some white pumpkins made from vintage chenille fabrics. This vintage crate is large enough to layer a few different containers, so I have a large vintage campfire marshmallows tin and two vintage crocks layered in…
