Valentine’s Day is just a few weeks away and I thought it would be fun to host a Valentine’s Day Mantel Linky on Monday, January 24th! Uh…didn’t we just decorate our mantels for winter? Yes, we did. But let’s change things up, add some hearts, throw some pink up there and get festive! I know, I know, you’re headed to Blissdom next week and are trying to figure out how you’re going to fit all those cute outfits, boots, and technology into one carry on. But I challenge you to find a half hour this weekend and get that baby decorated!
In order to get you in the mood (cue Barry White music. Although as a side note that music does nothing for me; I’m more of a DMB circa 90’s Crash album kinda girl. Sigh. LOVE the song Say Goodbye. You can click here for the back story on that one. But I seriously digress. What were we talking about again? Oh yes mantels!), I’ve compiled some inspiration pics from last year’s V-day mantel party!
Jen’s mantel from 2010. Perfection.
Jessica Leigh’s mantel was one of my favs from last year.
Kim’s Hugs and Kisses Hutch.

Thanks again for featuring my Vday mantle. I know you have mentioned decorating other spaces, just like you would your mantle… so I'm going to give that a try this year. 🙂

Ohhh' I can't wait Beth, to fun! I have a entry table and a hutch, will those count? No Mantel ;( Love all the features you chose. Have a good one. Jen
Any ideas about mantles for those of us who don't have them?

Looking forward to seeing everyones ideas.
I'm a new blogger and am addicted to your blog. I would love to join the mantel party. Count me in!

This so makes me want a mantel! And it also reminds me that I should decorate for Valentine's day.

Sounds fun- I'm in 🙂

Sounds like fun, Beth! La

What I'd like to know is how do they get such fabulous lighting in their house? My mantel is on the same side as the living room windows so the lighting sucks..ugh!

Whaa-whoo! I've been telling myself all week that I need to decorate for valentines. Thanks Beth for taking away all my excuses!!
Fun, fun, fun! I have my mantle put together, but still not in LOVE with it. So, it will be fun to see some other ideas.

Those are so pretty! Mine is decorated, but it looks the same as last year.

What? you have me all distracted with DMB now 😉 I love them too!
Anyhoo… a Valentine's mantel huh? Hmmm… I'll have to think on that one. My living room is very greens, blues & browns and I'm not the pink/purple/red kinda gal. I'll ponder this and who knows, maybe I WILL come up with something!
Cheers!
I guess I better get crackin' at my Valentine's mantel. I keep getting ideas, but I forget to write them down, so now I have no idea what I'll do this year. I guess we will find out on Monday. See you then! And thanks for spotlighting my last years hutch.
I love this idea… Granted I don't have a mantel, however the whole idea of decorating for Valentines Day. Since the Hubs' and I don't have a sitter this year to go out on a ::gasp:: date… it will be fun to make a nice meal, have some Valentines Day inspiration in the form of a little decor and overall just have a romantic meal together 🙂
