VALENTINE'S DAY 2025 DECORATIONS AROUND OUR HOME

As I mentioned in my last post , using red, white, and pink for Valentine's Day is right up my decorating alley! This year I kept the Valentine's decor on the simple side and focused on just a few spots in our living areas.  I'll start in our Entry which is always one of my favorite spots to sprinkle in some holiday or seasonal fun.  I had a few packs of paper heart doilies from the dollar store and just lined them up in a pattern on the mirror! (Looped masking tape on the back does the trick.) Other than that, I gathered a couple of busts and you know I always have to embellish them a bit... and I can't resist throwing some disco balls in the mix too.  I ordered these tulips the other day when I didn't want to run to Trader Joe's for fresh... they were on my porch when I woke up the next morning and are SO realistic at about the same cost of a real bouquet! I separated the petals on a few of them for an even more life-like look.  Highly recommend! As much as ......

As far as holiday colors go, Valentine's Day is right up my alley!  Give me allll of the red and pink!  I've been decorating a few spots here and there around the house that I'll share with you tomorrow, but as I've searched I've come across so many cute Valentine's Day finds for your home, your style, and your table that I thought you'd love too!   I've had these puffy gold metal hearts (set of three various sizes) for several years and love finding fun spots for them.  And puffy hearts are SO popular right now, they're great to have out even past 🩷 Day!

FIVE FRIDAY FAVORITES

I haven't shared Five Friday Favorites with you in a while so this one is a doozy and packed full of good things! If you're newer here, 99.9% of the time I make these lists up of things that I personally have and love and am confident recommending to you! It's always a random list and I hope it's helpful and you find some good things you'll love too.  So here we go!  1) I shared this photo in yesterday's Valentine's Day Porch post .  This leggings + button up + sweatshirt combo is my standard  winter "uniform" several days each week when I'm working around the house or just running errands.  I needed some new winter warm leggings this year and have tried out several... there are 3 different ones that I ended up loving!  My basic requirements were I wanted pockets on the leg for my phone, a smooth buttery fabric that wouldn't attract fuzz, cat hair, etc., and as streamlined as possible with no crazy seams.  I found all three to be true to si......

VALENTINE'S DAY PORCH DECORATIONS WITH DIY HEART DOOR HANGER

Well hello there friends!!  It doesn't seem like it, but it's been a little over a month since I've been with you here!  We had a nice holiday season and have been getting back into the swing of normal life.  It's a fun time to be back... we get to talk about all of the Valentine-y things!  My porch looked pretty sad and empty for a week or two after I cleared out all of the Christmas, but I spent some time here and there the past few days working on it so now it's a happy little Valentine's Day Porch-   I've had some unfinished wood craft hearts in my holiday stash for a couple of years, and decided that now was the time to use one of them for a cute DIY heart door hanger.  It was an easy, fairly quick project and I'm so pleased with how it turned out! I'll share a simple tutorial below.  Supplies I used:  Craft Wood Heart , Flag Red ,  Pink Eraser , and Metallic Gold Craft Paint, Circle Template (I used a mason jar lid), Gloss Sealer ......
