Do you decorate for Valentine's Day? I don't have kids, so I don't go too crazy, but I did put up a few holiday decorations this year.
I thought I'd give you a mini tour of the Valentine's Day decor around my home today.
Starting with this cute metal container with a chalkboard heart at Target.
It's the perfect thing to hold a sweet primrose plant that I scored for a dollar at Whole Foods.
My DIY Conversation Heart Banner is still hanging over my fireplace.
I've grown attached to it and will have a hard time taking it down after the holiday is over!
Though technically not Valentine's Day specific (it's up all year round), the gallery wall in my entry is full of hearts that are special to me.
I made the shadow box in the top right. It includes part of a card my husband gave me (I keep them all). We were married in New Orleans, so I love this petite dish I picked up at a sidewalk sale.
And the wooden heart in the lower right was found on a trip to Mexico.
This Love You printable from Persnickety Prints brightens up a table next to my desk.
Finally, I updated my DIY Chalkboard with my husband and I's initials. This simple drawing took me a lot longer than it should have, so it's not going anywhere for a while!
What is your favorite part? Do you decorate for Valentine's Day, or are you just waiting for it to be over (ha!)?
Hi Ginnie! Everything looks so lovely - thank you so much for joining us and sharing at Best of the Weekend! Pinned to our party board! Hope you are having a happy Valentine's Day weekend and have a wonderful week.
Thank you so much, Cindy! Have a great week:)
It all looks very cute! I love the birds. You working on St. Patricks day next?
Thanks, Anne! I think I'm going to skip St. Patrick's day;)
I love your style of decor! I try to keep love and hearts around year-round, too, with just a few holiday touches here and there each month. I pinned your awesome DIY Conversation Hearts Banner to my Vday Pinterest board. I love it!
Thank you so much, Gina:) Let me know if you try the banner!
oh my favorite is the DIY Conversation Heart Banner! LOVE! Nothing says Valentine's Day like those little candies!
I know! They really are the perfect Valentine's Day candy:)
Cute stuff! I barely decorate for Christmas, much less any other holiday!

Ha ha ... thanks for stopping by:)
you are so creative! i love that DIY chalkboard- but if i ever tried to write anything on it, it definitely would not look as great as yours does!
glad to have found this blog!

Thank you so much, Rachel! I'm definitely getting better:)
Love your chalk board and that print! Those really are great. I finally put up our Valentines decorations today! Only reason I bothered in the end was because my youngest kept saying we needed to.
Ha ha ... normally, I don't do too much either;)
I'm back again, today for #SITSblogging. I don't decorate for any holidays except for Christmas and even that is minimal. I think the issue is that my house isn't decorated for normal living yet! Once I accomplish that then I can think about spending on & planning holiday decor. 🙂
Hi, Holly! I saw that we were in the same group again:) That makes total sense ... ha ha! Enjoy the rest of your week!
I did some light decorating for Valentine's Day...for the first time ever! I love what you've done. The chalkboard with initials is darling!
Thank you so much:) I don't like to go overboard either, but a few decorations go a long way!
I love to decorate for holidays! My daughter and I usually end up making a bunch of decorations to mix in with what we already have. It's fun for both of us and since we make different things every year, our decorations are never the same!
That sounds like a lot of fun, Helen! I like to do something crafty and change mine up every year, too:)
Looks great! And I love your outfit too! I'm not doing any decoration. That chalkboard frame is a super idea.
Thanks, Heather! The chalkboard is really fun. I love coming up with new ideas to decorate it:)
I didn't use to decorate for Valentine's Day, or other holidays much, until I had kids. And now it's kind of fun. I don't go overboard for V-day, just a simple banner I picked up at a dollar store a couple of years ago, and I crack out our red plates for meals that day. Hey! My husband and I have the same initials!
That is so funny about the initials, Gina! It bet it's a lot of fun decorating with the kids. Have a great day with your family!
Happy Valentine's Day! Your home is ready for the day! 🙂 I had intended to decorate as well, but sadly, the day approached a bit too quickly. 🙂 Stopping by from SITS. Blessings!
Happy Valentine's Day to you, too, Diane! Thank you so much for stopping by.
I am embarrassed to admit that, despite Valentine's Day also being my wedding anniversary, we really don't do a whole lot around my house. I don't know why - I just hate feeling pressure to be romantic on a particular day.
Of course, this year, our 4 year old is very interested in the idea of holidays, so we are doing a bit more.
I love your decorations - the hears in the shadow box are my favorite.
Happy anniversary, Dianna! I totally understand what you mean about feeling pressure to be romantic on Valentine's Day. It's a little silly, isn't it? My husband and I usually stay at home and enjoy a relaxing night.
I love the DIY heart banner, too cute. I try to decorate for most holidays, but haven't gotten around to any valentines day decor this year 🙁 stopping by from SITS.
Hi, Ebony! Thank you for stopping by and for your sweet comment. It's hard to keep up with all the holidays sometimes:)
Oh my gosh, where ever did you get those birds? They are fantastic! Stopping by from SITS Girls Comment Love Tribe, and I will definitely be back. Have a great day!
Thank you so much for stopping by, Gailyc! The birds are from a thrift store and were quite ugly when I got them, but nothing a little spray paint couldn't fix;)
I love the chalkboard with the initials and I can't remember what it's called but the gilded heart on the wall. So cute!
Thanks, Heather! I'm really happy with how the chalkboard turned out, although I definitely need more practice:)
