Silhouette Mantel

It's March 2nd but I realized that I never shared my Valentine's Day mantel.  (Such a slacker!)  So let's just pretend that it's still February, shall we?

I decided I wanted to do something with my slightly hoardish collection of mirrors that I had gathered from various places the past year.  Most of the mirrors were from thrift stores with the exception of one that I bought at a country auction in Arizona.

I laid them out over the living room floor hoping that inspiration would hit while my furry assistant assessed the collection.

I decided on a layout having each mirror represent a member of our family and then hung them on the wall over the fireplace mantel to see if I liked the placement.  (They stayed that way for a few days.)

I then broke out the spray paint and painted mine and my daughter's mirrors Rustoleum Heritage White and my husband and boys' mirrors Krylon Bright Red.  I had black vinyl silhouettes made to represent each member of our family and placed them on the mirrors.

So here is the finished Valentine's silhouette mantel design.  (I also had a Valentine banner hanging from the mantel but took it down after February 14th.)

Now I need to start thinking about a St. Patrick's day mantel!

What about you?  Do you change your mantel decor with the holidays?
