Valentines Decor

I kept my Valentines Decorating pretty simple this year.  Christmas decor was INTENSE and I've been enjoying the "less is more" look since the holidays.

On my kitchen buffet I put out this sign from Vine and Branches as well as a tea pot full of tulips.


The lamp and shade are from Wal-Mart.  Yes.... Wal-Mart.
You should totally order one online and then pick it up when you pick up your groceries :)  hahaha


I'm still figuring out what (if anything) to put inside the big lantern... I'm looking for big white pillar candles... but don't want to spend a ton.  I'll keep you posted.



I've mentioned before that my mom's parents immigrated to Canada from Holland after WWII and tulips always remind me of them - especially my Opa.



The super cute towel was a gift from Shay with a set of her new cookbooks!  The color is awesome and I am LOVING the towel!  Which sounds weird, but it really is awesome. It's really soft, absorbent and it's a great size.




 I filled the apothecary jars with giant marshmallows, circus animal cookies and strawberry wafer cookies (which, by the way, were a childhood staple for me.  The. Best.)

 My FAVORITE candle just happens to be festive ;)


I'm a huge fan of the latte bowls from Anthropologie and was happy to add a few pink and red ones to my collection.  They're a great size for ice cream, cereal and everything in between.  And they're probably not as expensive as you think.  I have plans to take out the red and add some yellow to the pink and white for Easter and then take out the pink and add navy for summer.  They're an easy and practical way to add some festive fun to your counter.




Leftover marshmallows from our marshmallow day :)




Several of y'all have asked lately about our little table.  It's from Pottery Barn and it is fantastic. 

You can read all about our kids table HERE ;)




The plates are from Pottery Barn as well - but two years ago I think. 


But their plates this year are sooooooooo cute!!!

Valentine's Day Plates



The chair backers are from several years ago as well, and I had them embroidered by a friend locally.




I had big plans for a banner, but then I had to grade and Griffin wasn't feeling well... so we're bannerless.  Gasp :)

Hope y'all are having a WONDERFUL Thursday!  See you tomorrow for Friday Favorites!!!

  11. I love seeing how you decorate for the holidays! It's always adorable. And I wish I had the motivation to do mine for every holiday, but let's be honest...I'm too lazy.

  13. Wafer cookies - SO good!! When I was little they came in three flavors, now they are individual and I do not like that one bit!!

  14. I love the way you add decorative touches for each holiday, everything looks so festive without going crazy over the top. I always look forward to seeing what you have in your apothecary jars (that is probably the weirdest compliment I have ever given someone!).
