Do you decorate for Valentine’s Day at your house? I don’t do a whole lot but I like to bring in touches of pink and red. It’s like a decorating transition period between Christmas and spring time.
I hauled my Paris Poster back out and added red and white pillows to the love seat.
You might remember the penmanship poster that used to be on this shelf at Christmas.
I had simply taped it onto another piece of artwork.
It makes it look like the poster is framed.
In honor of Valentine’s Day, I swapped out the penmanship poster with a poster of Paris, the city of love! I was lucky to find a store that sells a variety of posters in just the right size to fit over the original artwork. I love being able to change the look so easily and the posters only cost a few dollars.
A trio of framed red hearts on sheet music flank each side of the Paris Poster.
More vintage red books team up with vintage Valentines.
A single stemmed rose softens the barn wood shelf.
A basket of dainty primroses sits on the end table next to the love seat.
And of course, more vintage books in cream and red. I found some of my red vintage books at a local boutique and thought they’d be perfect for Valentine’s Day decor. I like to buy the ones with interesting covers.
I kept things simple on the coffee table too.
My favorite vintage aqua bottle wears a red metal heart.
And that pretty much sums up my simple Valentine’s Day decor in the living room.

Adults collect any number of things from antique coins to dishes to cars and more. One of my favorite collectibles is white ironstone, due to its affordability and timeless appeal.

My 140-year-old house doesn’t have any exposed brick walls, but I’ve always longed for one. They feel so rustic and organic to me, as though a home is revealing its soul by letting you see its true bones. With nothing to hide, each flaw in every brick is exposed and on display. There are so…
Cozy is more than a look, it’s a feeling. It’s that sense of comfort, and belonging that makes you feel warm fuzzies the moment you walk through the door. It’s what the Scandinavians call “hygge.” It’s easy to bring cozy decorating into each room of your home with thoughtful details, inviting textures, and personal touches….
Remember when I said I was going to finish decorating my dining room before I revealed any of the changes? I’m happy to say that I’m nearing the finish line! I ordered a new light fixture and rug this weekend, and now I just need to wrap up the wall hangings and I think the…
