Valentine’s Day Mantel

Well, after a one month break from holiday décor, the time has come to decorate for Valentine’s Day.  Okay to be honest, the wreaths in the dining room have been up since I took pictures of them to share on the blog.  Haha!  They were just too pretty to pack away!  I even had the floral letters I made sitting out, just not on the mantel.  So technically, I didn’t have a “break” from it all, it just wasn’t styled.  You know, I always wonder how I have so much storage, and still can’t manage to get everything I need to have stored, stored away.  I guess that’ll be a goal for this year.  Work on storage!

I mentioned in my tutorial that I planned on displaying the letters on my mantel.  Well, I couldn’t be happier with that decision.  It ended up being the perfect spot for them.  A quick change from votives to letters, a few fresh flowers, and viola, we have a beautiful V-day mantel!  Easy and simple, simple, simple!  My new mantra.

I hope you like it as much as I do!  As always, I’d love to hear your thoughts.  Thanks for stopping by!
