Now that I have all of my Christmas decor down it’s time to decorate for Valentine’s Day. I always seem to decorate my mantel first for all holidays and different seasons.
I decided to stick to all neutrals for my mantel this year. We created some amazing hearts that I have hanging from the garland. You can see how we made these hearts by clicking the link down below.

I added a cream floral garland from our website. You can find this garland by clicking the link down below.

I incorporated some of the garlands into the hanging hearts. Lights are always a must for me so I decided to add some timer taper candles throughout the mantel.
These candles are placed on glass jars that we got creative with. You can see what we used for these glass jars by clicking the link down below.

I added a candle holder to the center of an old frame. The frame and candle holder are both thrift store finds.
We created the lace heart in the center of the mantel here at The Shabby Tree a few years ago. You can find the directions for this heart by clicking the link down below.

The cream colors seem to soften all of the brick on this mantel. I love how this turned out and I hope this will inspire you to decorate with things that make you happy.
I do love the neutrals and the hearts with the music paper are by far my favorite !! I remember making several of these things with you in the past !!! Will be doing my mantel in the next day or so !!❤️
Barb, I love the lace dollies bottle candle holders. Very lovely and unique. Also the music note hearts are simply stunning. All together your mantle is breathtaking with all creams colors and textures. Great job, Barb
It turned out beautifully! I love the neutrals. If I were to change anything, I would like to have seen solid colored jars for the candle holders. I think it would make things look less busy. I do like the decorated jars but would prefer them somewhere else where they would be more the focal point rather than a part of an already busy setting. I’m planning to take a note from you and decorate my little tree in hearts but with a more neutral feel. Will post when done!
I absolutely love your mantel done with the neutrals!! The music hearts are one thing I want to make for my home. The only suggestion is that I would move the smallest grapevine tree to either side or the other. The only reason I say this is because it is kind of covering up that beautiful lace heart that I love!! It’s all just lovely Barb!!❤️💕🌲
Barb I love your mantle is just beautiful. I love how you always come up with your DIY’S that go together.Now as I am in my 70″s I tend to do less decorating .Plus I am on oxygen 24/7 I don’t get around the house too much .So seeing your decorations make my day. You are a blessing to us all.
The mantel is beautiful. It gives off a romantic shabby chic vibe. I love the addition of the tapered lacy bottles. My all time favorite as it is by many followers is the hanger lacy heart with the doily tassel. You are an inspiration to many.
I love the cream and gold!
Hi Barb,
You asked for comments on your live. I feel like the bottle with the ribbon hanging could be switched with one of the others. It’s doing something funny for me next to the fabric tree. It’s too much fabric or something right there.
I can’t wait to try the hearts!!
Barb I love the mantle. I especially love all the doily trees and bottles. The heart garland finishes the whole thing off. Always love to see what you are going to come up with next. You have fresh ideas for every occasion.
Very Beautiful Barb! You always do a beautiful job decorating your mantel.
I think everything looks like they go together it makes a perfect picture I love it thank you Barb
Love your mantle. I love the glass bottles! I’m going to try to make some of those. Thank you for the ideas.
Well I looked at it it is very pretty loved the garland Sorry to say something looks off . I don’t like the sconce with the black frame .maybe a smaller frame or no scone not sure.
Glad you are feeling better!
The mantel is beautiful. I know you love the neutrals but I would have added a pop of red somewhere. Always love watching you Barb.
I really like the garland and the heart. I love the candle holders and I use mine in bottles as well, but I’m not crazy about the doilies on the bottles. It wouldn’t be a barb mantel without them because I know that a you thing.
I think it’s very pretty and romantic! I’m not sure about the style of the green garland. I think it detracts a little from the other garland. I love the hearts you made that are hanging above the fireplace, beautiful
So fabulous Barb. Love the candle bottle holders and the hearts with the song sheets. So perfect. The neutrals are lovely. I usually prefer a little more color intermixed but this works beautifully.
It is beautiful I love the hearts 💕 in the front
Really Love the lace!

Your mantle looks great! Love the creams
💐💕Love the lace and doilies! The hearts made out of cardboard are amazing!! Love it all; and you too!!!
Maybe remove a couple of the bottles-otherwise looks beautiful!!
I like the hearts decoupage in sheet music. I think I will do this to decorate above the piano in our guest room.
Love the creams but not going to lie, I would love a touch of red. So very talented
Beautiful! I wish I had a mantle so I could decorate it seasonally.
Looks great Barb! Just enough and not overdone. Love the neutrals , even in my own home ❤️
It is absolutely beautiful. I love the neutral Colors. I love the taper candles, they add just enough color.
A little touch of pink or blush would look pretty.
Once again beautiful. I wish I had a mantle to decorate.
Beautiful and elegant 💗

Everything about your mantel is beautiful and my all time favorite is the lace hanger heart but those three out front are stunning. Love

I like the Victorian appeal with the cream colors but I would like a pop of red with a red heart here and there. Very pretty and delicate.
