Since I changed my colors from maroon and silver to white, green and silver last Christmas, I decided to bring out some of the old maroon accessories for Valentine's Day this year. One thing I love about keeping a white and neutral palette in my family room is I can add any color to the mantel without worrying if it will clash with anything. (Well, other than the worn and dated brass fireplace surround, but I have plans for that this spring!)
I added in some silver candleholders from the holidays, and some others I usually have in the dining room.
A real photo stylist would have lit her candles before taking these shots so you didn't see the unused wicks. Oh well ...
A heart wreath I bought either at Target or Home Goods last year ...
Also realized I cropped this so it looks like everything is sliding down to the left.
Just cock your head to the right!
And some boxes and two pink vases from Michaels this year.
A little this, a little that. A little old, a little new. I have some silk maroon throw pillows I may toss in to the room too, we'll see.
We've decided that the camera issues I've been having are partly the camera's fault and partly the operator's fault(moi). I think maybe the poor camera has just been dropped too many times. Can't use that excuse for me though!
