For the first time since I moved in here, I’ve tried something different in front of the fake fireplace. Polka dotted chairs to match the polka dotted mantel runner Judy made me. (Oops, there’s a bit of the overhead light showing in the sheep picture. It is dark and gray today, so needed some extra light. Keeping it real here.)
She made me this Valentine pennant last year. So I think it looks pretty spiffy with all the other red and white.
She and I were out taking photos in the Tulsa countryside the other day (I’ll show that later), and we stopped at Dollar Tree on the way back. I picked up these cute little heart picks. Didn’t know what I was going to do with them. But here they are plopped in a couple of white pitchers.
If you have red and white, you’ve got Valentine’s Day as far as I’m concerned. So bring out the red and white! Such a cheerful color combo.

So festive! perfect place for additional seating. I may have to try this! We have a lovely fireplace, but were told when we bought this 1830′s home in 1998, that it should be repaired and lined. A lot of work and $$. Love the idea!
This is adorable!!
I like the chairs and little table in front of the fireplace. Looks great!
Brenda, this is a winner – love the look of only the white table and country chairs in front of the fireplace! Maybe take some of the white objects off the mantle to make it less crowded. Anyway, the best look yet for the faux fireplace!
Red and White spells happy – cheerful to me.
this is my very fav or the arrangements you have had around your fireplace.
looks great~!
now when ya have time- could you please come and decorate my mantle. its sat bare for 5 months and no creative brainstorm is in sight..:)
One of my favorite color combos…red and white! The other is blue and white. I love how you placed the chairs in front of the fireplace. So pretty.
that should be :: OF the arrangements- not OR .. so sorry
How cheery, delightful, Valentiney, and Brenda!!!!
Judy
I love it Brenda!! Especially those sweet little hearts.

Just love it.

I have always been a big fan of red and white, even outside of valentines day. My son’s room is done in those colors and it always looks so fresh and fun everything I walk into the room.
Love red and white…Valentine’s Day or not!
Beautiful Miss B!

It’s such a cute arrangement. And I love the red heart pics! And the banner Judy made is just so sweet.
The white chairs and table look great in front of the black fireplace. You know I love those pops of red, fabulous!

So cheery! I love everything about that vignette!
Very pretty! And not just for Valentine’s Day. I can see it working year round with little changes here and there. As always, there is such a charm about your very orderly arrangements.
Love the white pitchers on the mantle with touches of red.
So festive. Love it all
Brenda, the mantel look awesome. Love the chairs and the signs and the Valentine’s Day accents.

Love all the red and white and that Judy is a GEM!!!! Everything is looking perfect for Valentine’s Day if you ask me- xo Diana
Love the pillows!! Red and white is so crisp, distinctive and always has something to say. Love Dollar Tree- was in there Wed and did not see the heart picks. Did get some red heart vases though. have a lot of red vintage 50s dishes and candle sticks-and vintage christmas so there is a lot of red in my house too. love the white ironstone. i have some vintage off white pottery and vases.
Your red and white looks so cheery! Love all your white pitchers on your mantel.

So pretty Brenda and definitely Valentines Day worthy!
Perfect, just so happy perfect!
There is nothing better in my book than red and white. It’s always cheerful. And you know how to do it right! Your arrangement is oh, so pretty. I love the chairs infront of the fireplace and your collection of whiteware is very impressive indeed! Love how you have it arranged.
Very cute! I love all the red and white together…and I really love all those white pitchers!
Brenda, I especially love the tea set up on the little table in front of the fire.
You know how much I love this!
Big Hugs,
Susan and Bentley
Very pretty, Brenda! Polka dots are such a cheery pattern. I like how you used the heart picks in your white pitchers on either end of the mantel. It brings a nice little touch of red up there.
Oh, my!! Brenda, it is beautiful. Red and white… be still my heart!! And hearts and a banner and a runner…. the chairs are wonderful and perfect with the little table, too. Love it ALL! Brings to mind a picture I had recently seen of cardinals in the snow! Really charming!!
I love your white and red decor! The polka dot fabric on the chair is so cute!
I love all your red and white and I LOVE the mantle and the photos and signs, and all of it.. I love your taste in decor….

What a lovely look! I like the contrast of the red and white with the black tiles around the fireplace. If I might be so bold as to make a suggestion, perhaps you might consider hanging something in front of each of the lovely gold plates above the mantle. Something small like a red heart piped in black, hanging from a ribbon so it’s in the middle of the plate. Or a bright red cardinal, or a fuzzy white sheep with a red ribbon around its neck. Sorry, I guess I’m getting carried away with tweaking!
