Valentine’s Mantle and a Guest Post

I am so excited because I got to do another very fun guest post this week!  Today, you will find me over at White Lacquer sharing “things I wants”.

And while you are there, be sure to check out Patience’s blog, if you have not already!  I love her eclectic and dramatic style.  Here is a peek inside of her own home!

Um, hello… check out that headboard!  So hop on over to White Lacquer for a visit!

And now I want to share a little Valentine’s decor with you.
As soon as Emmy’s party was over, I was ready to take down the rest of the Wintery decor, and get out the Valentine’s Day decor.  In doing so, I discovered that I barely had any!  My most precious Valentine’s decor I keep out all the time on my bookcases, but I moved it to the mantle for now.  It’s a ceramic heart that Sawyer made for me in art class last year.  I also gathered some aqua glass pieces, milkglass, a pink frame with scrapbook paper in it, the heart that Anita gave me, and I made some pipe cleaner hearts on pipe cleaner stems, so I have my very own jar of hearts. ๐Ÿ™‚

But it needed something more!  So I consulted my Valentine’s pin board and found just the inspiration I needed.

I am sharing all the details of how I made my new banner at The DIY Club today, but here is how it looks on my Valentine’s Mantle!

And here is the look all put together…  I love the colors against the gray.  I still don’t love the TV getting in the way of my mantlescaping, but I have to admit I enjoy sitting in there watching TV at night with a fire going!

    Sawyer’s heart touched my heart…so sweet! I have to get some of my kid’s artwork out again…my youngest has his own shelf for his artwork and likes it in HIS room.

    I like your banner and you’re right, the pink is a nice contrast against the gray.

    Oh, the trial and tribulations of hiding the television!! But yours looks great against the grey wall. I like it!

    And your Valentine’s decor is LOVELY! – but the big question is: does your Mister like it?!!

    Your mantle looks great! A pretty color combination. I love Sawyer’s handmade heart and also Anita’s! I have a little clay heart my nephew made me when he was 4 and I treasure it.
