Back in the fall, my neighbor made these adorable feather boa wreaths for her Halloween doors, and I knew instantly I would make a pink one for little Lainey's bedroom door. Perfect for Valentine's, too. Love decor with multiple uses! David is glad the pink wreath is in the den for only a few weeks, but he even agreed it was a fun addition!
I started the mantel with the pink boa wreath hanging in front of brown, round mirror that hangs year-round. Thoughts of painting it white were overtaking my mind, but I came up with a much more logical solution (grin), and brought my chalkboard frame in from the kitchen and hung the wreath over it with invisible fishing line. Love at first sight.
This precious Love One Another print was my original inspiration for the mantel! The design is a free printable from HERE! Print at home, or send it to a local photo lab for a minimal cost.
I popped the Love One Another print into a refurbished Goodwill frame ($1.50!) and hung it over the wreath with pink grosgrain ribbon.
Valentine's candy is so fun to decorate with, and I have been eyeing the apothecary jars at Hobby Lobby for-EVER. As soon as they went 50% off, I grabbed one and filled it about 3/4 full with giant strawberry marshmallows!
My Conversation Hearts Tree made a perfect pair with the marshmallow jar!
For an extra pop of color, Maddie suggested filling Mason jars with Valentine's M&M's. I bought these M&M's two years ago right after Valentine's for 1/2 off. **Remember to stock up cheap candy for next year on February 15th!
A few tea light candles to make it extra cozy at night, and the mantel is complete!
Hope you've been inspired today to bring a little Valentine's into your own home!

Super cute!!! A display made of candy can never be wrong! I love it!
Love it! The candy heart tree is awesome. I haven't been much into the smaller holidays since the kids are now older, but I just might have to put together a Valentine mantel this year.
