I absolutely L-O-V-E Valentine’s Day! I always have actually. It probably all started when I was little… I was {and still am} a girly girl and Valentine’s Day is my holiday! In addition to being a flirty and girly holiday, it is close to my birthday {February 6^th} and my mom always decorated my birthday parties in hearts and pink. I loved it {and still do}… In fact, {call me a dork if you want to} I still ask for Valentine plates and napkins for my birthday dinner/dessert.

I don’t always decorate for every holiday {we exclude St. Patrick’s Day, Memorial Day, Labor Day… you get the idea}, but I decided to adorn our home with a little Lovie-Dovie décor for Valentine’s Day!

First comes first, we’ve mentioned before that we don’t have a fireplace {we live in paradise}, so decorating a mantel is a bit difficult! However, we have this fun bench/hutch that I use for seasonal decorating.

I took the “Love” sign off our bedroom wall {you can see it in this Webisode Wednesday}, took the mirror out of the pantry and the candle holders & candles from the stair well and created a romantic vignette. I hung the glittery heart I bought from Joann’s this year {for only $5} from the middle hook. It was really simple, easy and inexpensive! To top the mirror off, I added a pink wooden bow I had gotten from Goodwill awhile ago. I ABSOLUTLE LOVE IT!

What do you think? Although it is really girly and my home usually isn’t, it is fun to add in pink for the occasion!!

Next, I decorated the sofa table {which is right across from the bench/hutch}. For the top, I made a new cake plate, added M&M’s to the apothecary jar, added some stick hearts {from the Dollar Store} to a small glass vase, displayed a glittery pink heart plate and also framed a Photoshop print out ‘Bee Mine’. To the bottom shelves, I just added a flowery tea cup, added a grosgrain pink ribbon to a porcelain bowl, included my white porcelain ‘girl’, a fun pink vase {which will hopefully be filled by the husband with beautiful flowers… hint, hint} and last but not least a ceiling embellishment! Yep, I found this baby a while ago and just added some pretty scrapbook paper to the back to complete the Valentine’s look!

Then, I added one little touch of love {pun intended} to the bookshelf in our living room… I created the print in Photoshop and put it in an empty frame… loving how cute it is!

The last thing I did turned out pretty cute too! Remember my Christmas/ Winter ‘Mantle’ design? I used the same idea as the mitten frame and just changed out the design to a ‘LOVE’ one I created in Photoshop. It sits on the stairwell… really cute!!

P.S. Want your hands on any of these Print-Outs? We heart our readers… so we made them all for you to download and use! Enjoy!Bee Mine
