Our Valentine Mantel

January 31, 2012 by Courtney 18 Comments

It may not be February quite yet, but after making my first yarn wreath, I decided it was time to switch up the mantel. I used the same subway print from last year {I keep any online prints in one file so I can grab them quickly} and added the “F” and wreath. Instead of a heart banner garland this year, I wrapped one heart around the chalkboard vase which reads, “I’ve Loved Your For a 1000 years.” And there you have it. Oh, and wrapped a couple of flameless candles with scrapbook paper. IMG_7227   IMG_7191IMG_7195IMG_7199IMG_7202IMG_7203IMG_7228IMG_7233IMG_7236 IMG_7226 What about you?

    Oh, it's so pretty! I never think to do a Valentines display, but it would be the perfect time to finally get some pink going in my home! I am inspired! I have a similar sized vase that I was about to ditch to goodwill but now I am totally giving it a coat of chalkboard paint. SMART!

    xoxo!
