I’m so super-excited about this Fall mantel decorating project, that I’ll give you a picture first, and talk a bit after…
.
In case you didn’t notice, my Fall mantel has giant photos of our kids ;-).
.
Not only that: They are giant peel and stick photos!
,
Say wha? Yup. Peel and stick. And did I mention Giant?
.
I know. Life-changing, right?!?
.
.
If you know me or follow along here, you might know that I’m nutty for 3 things: (1) taking pictures (2) gallery walls and (3) seasonal decorating (especially mantels). This project was a heavenly combination of all three!
.
.
I’ve had these sweet Fall photos of my children for a few years, but like most of our photos, they were just hanging out on the hard drive. So when Posterjack asked me if I’d like to try out their new peel and stick posters as part of a Design Challenge, I knew exactly how I was going to decorate this year’s Fall mantel! (I worked with Posterjack before on a canvas project so I was sure I’d love their products.)
.
I love the idea of using these peel and stick posters for seasonal projects like this. You can easily hang them and change them around without damaging your wall. I moved these around a bunch of times to get the positioning right, and they didn’t lose any stickiness, or damage the paint.
.
And the quality of the re-production is beyond awesome. They are printed on a gorgeous matte linen-like paper, so you don’t get the kind of annoying glare that comes with regular posters or framed glass.

I rounded out the mantel with a cute chalkboard banner spelling “Fall”. The letters are a free download over at Shanty2Chic. (Thanks Shanty2Chic!) I loved how they put their banner together on burlap with the cute little clips and flowers, so I put my banner together exactly the same way. (Why reinvent the wheel?!?) To tie it in with the mantel colors, I strung some pretty die-cut paper leaves behind the banner.
.
…
I finished it off with some hay, white pumpkins and a big ol’ acorn.
.
.
We’re gonna love looking at this all Fall. My kids are over the moon that there are life-size photos of them on the wall!

Kerri, the peel and stick posters are awesome!! One of my faves of your mantels so far……..hmmm, am thinking now where I can peel and stick those in my house. Just beautiful!
Kerri says
Thanks girly!
Cristine says
Very nice! I wanted to ask did you have border added on peel & stick posters or did you paint it on the all as a matte effect? Thank you!
Kerri says
Thanks Cristine! I had the border added before they were printed. It’s an option provided before the order is placed. Hope this helps! ~Kerri
Cathy says

I love this! I never thought of using old Fall/Halloween pictures in my decor but it just adds so much! Visiting from the link party. I posted my fall hutch and it’s right beside yours in the links.
Kerri says
Thanks April! It’s a great way to add something meaningful to a mantel or display. I’m all over preserving memories, especially since kids grow soooo fast (sniff sniff)! ~Kerri
Wendy says
