Sprinkling In Some Quick and Easy Valentine Decor

I have been sprinkling in some 

Valentine Decor

here in my home the last couple of weeks.

I was in the mood this year for some  really easy 

light nods

towards the holiday

and 

using fresh flowers 

is always my first choice.

For my dining table

I used my block candle holder

replacing the candles with mini Kalanchoe plants

in the palest of pinks.

Because I used tiny plants 

instead of cut flowers

this arrangement will last least a month

with the most minimal of care.

I used the same mini Kalanchoes

for my centerpiece in my living room

where I place the plants in the tiniest of terra-cotta pots.

To make the centerpiece

I simply used a large wooden box tray

with my collection of well used candles.

To finish off the arrangement

I simply added in dry white rice.

This makes for a perfect centerpiece

for  a winter to spring transition.

My favorite Valentine decor piece

that I use in different places

 each year is my

 soft sculpture heart 

that I made out of

 aluminum tubing and yards and yards of tulle

finished with 

embroidery floss.

For me I love the aesthetic of one bold Valentine piece

backed up with an array of pink flowers and plants.

Not only do I love how it looks

but in makes for the simplest of 

in and out

 holiday decor.

I simply replace the heart with more pink flowers

and

 this decor takes me right into spring

when I just add in other  varieties and colors of spring flowers.

I am so enjoying keeping everything else in my decor

neutral this year.

I am loving the mixture of textures in monotones.

The monotone textures play out 

throughout my decor

on both soft and hard surfaces

letting the introductions of 

live color

have center stage.

Dropping in flowers in functional spaces

raises function

to artful vignettes.

For my exterior rooms

I use the same principals.

But in the courtyard

all the 'walls'

are made of the live green variety

so dropping a little live color

can make a large statement

backed by the inclusion 

of just a couple 

spring pillows!

I am ever so happy this season

with my quick and simple

Valentine decor

that will take me right into spring.

Fluffing my space

is just another way 

I choose to crown myself

and

it makes my heart ever so happy to see!

As always my friends

I wish you love and joy

as you style your life
