A Romantic Table for Valentine's Day

I'm serving up some love and hearts!

I love these sweet little cookies “Mini Palmiers!”  Not only are they sweet and delicious, they look like hearts!  They are perfect for Valentines Day!

For a romantic table I’m using some roses, sweet treats and these heart plates I found years ago, they’re also perfect for Valentine’s Day!  I used a faux rose with a long stem and simply wrapped the stem around a pretty gold cloth napkin.  

Since I had used most of this table decor recently for the New Year table and was still enjoying the charger plates and place mats on their own, I only needed to change up or add a few things.  I also still had part of the previous centerpiece, however I removed the winter greenery and added more roses.

I often prefer to be able to change up the look without changing everything.  Not always, but sometimes.  Especially if using some favorite items or something that was recently purchased and I want to enjoy it a little longer without going to something completely different.  And in the long run that leads to inexpensive and easy decorating, which I'm always all for!  And, that simply makes for a much easier way of decorating sometimes.  It doesn't have to cost a lot to make it beautiful!

We'll be doing our Valentine's Day celebrating/dinner on the Saturday after.  Hmmm, I'll be needing to buy more of these sweet cookies by then! *wink* 

Wishing you a Happy Valentine's Day! 

Love & Hearts for February ~ Valentine themed Tiered Tray

I love tiered trays! I have a few, it’s fun to style them and change them up for the holidays and seasons. I enjoy finding items most often simply from around my home, and sometimes I find perfectly sized items while out shopping.

I gathered items on hand for my Valentine’s Day theme.  Some happy hearts, a little love, flowers and some spring inspiration!  Of course I love all things “hearts” so I’ve added several here.  I kept it soft and neutral with muted colors and pretty pinks. 

I approach these trays with a fun attitude and don't fuss too much, and just have fun with it.  I just place items in a manner which is pleasing to me.  I start with items that relate to a holiday, season, theme or occasion.  

I like to have pairs or sets of things, and often use them on opposite sides and or group them together, as I've done here.  I have two different sets/pairs of candle holders, and two of the pretty wooden hearts, and two of the pick/bundles of greenery.  There is no hard fast rule, as I said "I just have fun with it!"

I enjoyed a beautiful day, had our back door open and I spent some of the day out on our porch, we were expecting a record high of 77° today, it reached 79°...Yeah Baby!  Even if only for today. I’ll take it!

I shared some of our Breakfast area and the decor recently.  I've been adding some hearts for February and Valentine's Day.  I placed my Valentine themed tiered tray over in front of the window where I can admire it!  I hope I have helped to give you some ideas and inspiration for styling a tiered tray.

~ I hope you’re having a beautiful day!

Fun Kitchen Decor Idea - February/Valentine's Day~ Mini Ladder /Dish Towel Holder

I’ve been enjoying this sweet display for February and in honor of Valentine’s Day!

I created this simple little *ladder for displaying decorative dish towels in our kitchen.  I may have screamed out loud when I saw these sweet towels at Target... because they’re adorable and sooo me. 

Gold hearts, oh yeah!  And, I love Kisses & Hugs!

Hello February~The Month of LOVE ~

It's February!  The month of LOVE.

Hearts and Flowers are two of my favorite things.  I use them a lot in my decor.  So when February rolls around I'm all in on the Valentine's Day decor.  I have hearts-a-plenty, but that doesn't keep me from adding more if I come across a heart of two, or many!

These sweet little lovelies were a nice surprise found at Target, I couldn't resist scoring them from the dollar spot area, they’re perfect for me and Valentine’s Day!  And at only a few dollars they're perfect low-cost decorating items, I love that!

Hearts make me smile, I enjoy seeing them.  I tuck them in here and there.  They are little reminders of love and that makes me happy too!    

We’ve had a beautiful first weekend of February.  The month of LOVE is off to a great start!

~ Wishing you lots of love...
