Valentine's Day Mantel

White and Red mantel display for Valentines

Decorating your mantel is one of the easiest ways to bring in the spirit of any holiday inside your home. This time a white and red mantel display becomes a classic way to embrace Valentine's day!

Thank you so much for your generous comments on my last post.  As promised, the PB Inspired LOVE Wall Plaque is now adorning my fireplace.  

You can click HERE to check how the plaque was made.

Something good about Valentine decorating is that you can re-purpose many of your Christmas decorations.  

The pom-pom garlands were an after-season find at Michael's, I only found three, there are only white pom-poms on them, the biggest ones. 

The little banners were made with the leftover parchment paper that was used to wrap little presents during the Holidays.

Some extra pom-poms were also attached.

A message in a bottle was written for the three people I love the most ;)

A plain white paper was given a nicer shape and three acrostic poems were written on them.

Instead of just one,
red bottles of love potion number 9 to decorate during Valentines

I got two Love Potions No. 9. Let's see if I start kissing everything :)

Well, the true story behind those bottles is that they were closing up a Crate and Barrel store, everything was on sale, stands, props, merchandise, everything. 

They had a huge assortment of bottles, empty bottles that they used as props, I bought 3 of the red ones, some whites, and some greens (they were only 25 cents apiece).  

I really love the red bottles, they are so vibrant!  

I used acrylic paint to write "Love Potions" on the side of those bottles.

Ha, so easy!

The winter white wreath I used during my Blue Christmas is now adorned with some red accents.

And a quick and easy pillow in the same polka-red fabric of the letter O brings color to that chair.

  1. Cristina, how many times can I say this - it's perfect, worthy of a magazine cover. I love the message in a bottle idea, the up-dated white wreath and the sweet polka dot pillow <3
    But most of all I love the cozy winter feel of it all (after all Valentine's Day is usually a snowy day, right?)

  2. Hi Cristina! I can't decide which is my favorite, this one, or the blue and white mantel you did at Christmas! Both are beautiful and elegant. I love that you were able to use so many things that you already had, and the LOVE art just tops it all off. Great job, as usual. Have a great weekend!

  13. Cristina como yo aprendo. La combination del color blanco , rojo y un toque de gris es la combinación perfecta . A mi me cuesta mucho el tema de los colores!!!! Ese lugar te ha quedado mágico , el corazón , la guirnalda, las botellas, y el maravilloso Love.
    Muchos cariños

  39. Hi there, I just found your blog via Pintrest. I'm absolutely in love with your mantle and fireplace. Is it a gas fireplace? If so--what company is it through? We just bought our first home and have been looking at electric fireplace options, and I really like yours! :)

    ReplyDelete
  40. Thank you so much, everybody! Inthearchive, Yes, it is a gas, Heat&Glo fireplace. It came with the house and it's been working nicely for around 12 years. I want to upgrade to a new one with a control remote perhaps with the same company.
