Vintage whimsical Valentine mantel

By 34 Comments

Hi there everyone!

LOVE

me some vintage post cards and anything Valentine’s day!

You already know that about me.

In fact what occasion or Holiday don’t I like to change it up for?

Valentine mantel with dollar tree decor

Easter is probably my least favorite because of pastel colors, I really don’t care for them in our home, however, I do make do.

So onto my Vintage whimsical Valentine Mantel this year.

Valentine Mantel 2014

Last year just around this time, is when we painted our fireplace surround.  I never looked back!

So let’s start with the dollar tree decor.

hearts

 Floating hearts, which I did last year as well on our Valentine Mantel 2013.

Burlap love banner for Valentine's day

I simply hot glued a ribbon onto the heart and draped them, in different lengths.  I then taped them to the mantel.

Dollar tree decor

 These little gift boxed are perfect just to toss around and add to the Valentine vibe.

Rose petals, also from the dollar tree.

I just used a few of these  Valentine boxes for bakery goods and a Valentine gift idea.

vignettes and valentines decor in the family room

Little fabric sticky hearts,  from the dollar tree.

I embellished on just about everything in sight.

Heart picks in the urn and ribbon from the dollar tree.

I kept some of the winter greenery in the urns, it is still winter so it goes.

The XOXO came from Target many moons ago.

Vintage post cards for Valentine's day

Vintage postcards, I believe my Mom bought me sometime ago and I just used them for the first time this year.

Kept the Christmas mantel red beads on, also from the dollar store and just used clothes pins to attach the cards.

Family room vignettes for V-day

Got my boys Christmas picture all framed and nice on the coffee table.  First pic I have had of these boys together in a long time.

They fill my heart!

I already shared my Valentines burlap banner with you and here you can get a full view.  Not much on it but the burlap

some of those fabric hearts

and I plunked some dollar tree rose heads in there.

Simple, but super cute and festive!

 I do believe that’s all folks!

    Very pretty, Debbie! Love the XOXO. They are probably easy enough to make if Target doesn’t carry them anymore. That picture of your boys looks wonderful. It’s always nice to have a picture that isn’t a school picture when they are school age.

    Hi Debbie Dear! Oh, your Valentineing is so wonderful. I love your mantel and all of your red pretties! I’ve been so busy the last few weeks that I’ve not gotten to visit like I want to. Maybe things will slow down a bit. I love your new header too.
    You’re always a sweetie,

    Debbie your Valentine tree blows me away. I adore it. Love your mantle too and I am with you. No pink or pastels for Easter. I try and use more rustic looking things. Enjoy your day date. Hubby and I are having a date night tonight. So excited.

    Your mantel looks so pretty, Debbie. I love the hanging hearts & vintage Valentines. Painting your fireplace surround was the right thing to do. All your décor pops against it!

    I hope you got those heart boxes this year because I’m looking for some exactly like that and was planning to decoupage them myself. It would be nice to find them ready made.

    I love it all, from boxes to rose petals to all things hanging. The red pops against your gorgeous mantel surround, too.

    Wow, it all looks so wonderful! I hate to admit it, but I don’t decorate for Valentine’s Day (or Halloween). I know, you probably want to shake me, but I never have. But you do make me want to rethink Valentine decorations!
