I have never lived in a house with a mantel. I am kind of stumped. What do you put on the mantel? Do you rotate collections? 
This is Valentine’s inspired. Why yes, little astounded 17 year old self, I DO decorate for Valentine’s Day.
Got the tin in a box lot at an auction, cheap. The striped box is an old record case, FULL of old 45’s. Including some children’s music with great graphics I am going to put into our shop.
I love all things vintage metal. Particularly when they are red. Thrifted at various spots. Starting a collection. Wish I had not donated some old ones in the move.
Not mantel related but a follow up on the evolving guest room walls.
Do you decorate for Valentine’s Day? Are we dorks? Leave links!!! Plus, any mantel advice would be much appreciated.
