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 I love tulips, they just don't last long enough for more than the occasional fresh bouquet to be worth it for me. Now I can move these around to different spots for months to come. (And I'll definitely be using this clever trick from Kari Anne if I move them to a larger vase!)
I found the cute pink scallop edge hearts hanging on the french doors at Hobby Lobby, they came in a few colors and are darling as is or would be cute to add decoration to.

The mantel is my other go-to decor spot for holidays. I probably should have removed the green gingham fabric and just used the white shades here for now, but I didn't want to make the effort to take it off and then put it back on after 💖 Day. (#lazy😆 but after Christmas clean up, I need a lazy holiday- ha!)
Most of this I've used before- the XOXO sign and the heart garland are DIY projects, and here's an orchid trick I like to use!
This little antique chest is the last spot in the living room that got a bit of love. Do you spy the cute wicker pagoda lantern? It's from Dillards and was part of their Southern Living Collection for Christmas, so it was clearanced out afterwards. I got two! They also had the wicker bow ornaments (they had silver & blue greenery on top that's not my style so I removed) that I loved! I got a bunch of those because I have some ideas of how to use them in the future (not as ornaments). But for now, I haven't decided what to put in the lanterns yet so I thought the bows looked cute on the front.
I added some small honeycomb hearts to the artwork- just used some index cards and hot glue on the back so that they would stay half way open. Then I just used painter's tape on the back and stuck them right to the canvas.
Little felt love notes (from Hobby Lobby) on a marble heart, DIY heart canvas, Polish Pottery vase I brought back from a trip, and fun pup bud vases bought at a cute little shop in Rogers, Arkansas.
P.S.- I painted the canvas myself, but here are some similar style prints available! Use arrows to scroll left and right, click on photo for more info.
I will probably set a Valentine's table next week, but for now the dining room just has a simple centerpiece. I tied the medium size gold heart from this set to my white ginger jar, and dollar store glitter hearts are scattered around the base.

That's it for Valentine's Day decor this year... sweet and simple!
