Hi Erin! I LOVE each variation of your Valentine mantel, but I must admit - I like the black and red the best. I think it looks the most traditional. From this year's selection, I like the one you settled on - the red, white and aqua...Beautiful!!

I love them all! I think my favorite is the first Valentine one, with the heart in the silver wreath! but they all look great!

I like your last year's mantel the best! I think the black and the red look darling together. But the look I love for this year, is the aqua and red, like your kids like. :) Last year I made the cutest garland in Red and aqua, so I do love the look of the Red and aqua, I guess I'm just a more traditional girl. Love you Erin.

I've been thinking about your valentine garland since your big Better Homes and Garden news! I'm really hoping to find some time to make one with the kids, they would LOVE it! And I have no Valentine Decor. None. At all. Can you even believe that? I know, you can't. I need some badly.

2012-01-26T12:30:48.245-08:00

Super cute! My SIL uses the same candy year after year. She buys it an immediately sprays it with Lysol so she won't eat it. Her kids are old enough to know not to eat it too and it works for her!

2012-01-26T09:47:45.682-08:00

I love them both! I am also a big fan of teal and red! So pretty together...but I do have to agree with your girls your winter mantel wasn't cutting it for Valentine mantel...Your girls are too cute.

Thanks everyone!!

Becky - I'll show you in an upcoming post where I store my candles. It's nothing fabulous, but they are all together in one place. :)

2012-01-26T08:19:41.922-08:00

I love your mantel. I have a question about how you store your candles from year to year? I never burn mine all the way and need a good storage solution to keep them pretty till the next year.

2012-01-26T07:57:16.599-08:00

Loving January also. I'm with "Simply LKJ" I can see those birdies coming back before Christmas. I like how you try things outside of the box. I wouldn't have thought that aqua and red could look so pretty.

2012-01-26T07:19:22.116-08:00

The winter mantel is fabulous! I love that color of blue. The wreath is super cute too! Happy to find you today. :) Shan@FamilyBringsJoy

2012-01-26T07:14:08.379-08:00

I don't think I have a favorite, I like all of them! (Although, I do agree with your girls that the one little heart looked a little sad there all by itself!)

2012-01-26T06:35:39.894-08:00

How fantastic. It looks lovely. Oh how I wish I had a mantel to decorate. I'm thinking of making my sideboard into something like this and changing it with the seasons.

2012-01-26T06:24:36.603-08:00

I like them BOTH! Really love how it turned out with the touch of aqua in with the red and white. The birds and vase are gorgeous too though. I liked my snow sparkle I had going on, but was ready for a change in my mantel too. :-)

2012-01-26T06:19:35.346-08:00

I really like the new Valentine's mantel compromise. But if you think the aqua vases look lonely, you could always add in some aqua candies to the dish...just a thought. And I would go ahead and put the birds back in. You could set them next to each other like "love birds". I am always amazed at the cute seasonal decor you do! I am one of those who only switches it up for Christmas and that's it...so boring.

2012-01-26T06:13:27.745-08:00

I wouldn't have thought of aqua and red together, but it really works well! Especially because you can see some aqua pieces reflected in the mirror! Very creative! Love it!

2012-01-26T06:02:00.287-08:00

I definitely love the January set -up for sure but Valentines is short so you could go back to it for a bit. ya know, just to please the littles : )

2012-01-26T05:25:34.186-08:00

Love your mantels. In fact everytime you do a mantel post I bug my husband about needing to install a fireplace here ;) I think my favourite is the January set up.
