Valentine's Day Vignette

Hi Everyone! We hope you are all having a great week.  It has been crazy here with weather, it went from temperatures in the 20s to the 60s.  It is a little tease for Spring!  Today we wanted to share a Valentine's Day Vignette.  We used different ceramic teapots, coffee pots, faux flowers, battery operated candles, and lots of ribbon.  We used a burlap table cloth in order to break up the colors of the reds, pinks, and whites. 

We placed different doilies on the table to add some warmth to the glass.  

I absolutely love these colors!  They aren't your typical pink and they have a little bit of a peach color in them and they are just so different.  We wove some ribbon throughout the whole display.  I especially like how it is in the flower arrangement.  

 

 The pink round item is a picture frame, we took the glass out to make it look like a wreath!

 In this picture we tied some greens around the candles and put some iced fruit with them for some color.

This is a nice festive table for Valentine's Day.  Having such a nice day here today got us in the mood for spring!  We have lots more to show so stay tuned.  As always we thank you all so much for stopping by our blog!!

Top of Hutch

Hi Everyone!  Sorry we have been missing for a couple days.  We got about 4 inches of snow this weekend and it was soooo cold!  Denise got really busy and we have a lot of new post to share!  Tonight I am going to do a quick post sharing the top of my dinning room hutch. I kept it simple and used lanterns, roosters, and some ivy.  All of the ivy makes me really excited for Spring!

I added two lights and two battery operated candles with timers on them to add some light.

The black rooster is my favorite! 

We hope everyone has a great week and we will have lots to share this week!  Hope you come back and join us! :)

Valentine's Day Mantel

Today we wanted to share a Valentine's Day Mantel!  Normally I don't decorate much for Valentine's Day, but I was home from work today so I thought I would give it a try.  Everything on the mantel I already had, I did however spray paint the hearts and some of the berry balls. 

This greenery swag I made out of two of the same swags that were used on our last post, which you can view here.  I used a sinamay bow and let everything flow naturally.  I hung the grapevine wreath with a piece of sinamay from the picture frame.  I spray painted the frame picture frame and the grapevine wreath.

I had a couple grapevine hearts that I spray painted and hung from the mantel.  Just for something a little different.  The garland is a hanging garland.  I let some of the garland lay on top of the mantel and let the rest flow down the mantel. 

 The two end candle holders I filled with more greens and some red and white berry balls.  The middle ones I just used a glass bowl filler.  I like to do things different and not all matchy match!

I still have a mess at my house, do you all have a hard time transforming from Christmas to now?  Between cleaning and getting new things out it takes me sometime to get it all done!  I hope you are all enjoying decorating.  I know we always do we still have lots to show and are waiting for the nice weather even though it will be awhile! :) 

Thanks for stopping by!!

Simple Everyday Swag

Hi Everyone!  Wow we have been away for awhile!  Denise has been really sick and she is just starting to feel better so we have been taking a little break, but are ready to get back to it!  Today we wanted to share a simple everyday swag.  I made these last year and decided to change them up a little.  I use them on my front doors in my entry way.  They are fun to make to!  You can use any type of greenery, I used a long hanging green, and a hanging ivy bush.

First thing you I did was pulled some small pieces from the top of the bush and used these for the top of the swag.  Next I mixed the two different bushes together.

I used a sinamay ribbon for the bow, which I absolutely love for spring/summer and everyday! I also used a small bush to fill in different areas of the swag.

I pulled this bush apart and cut the stems off into smaller pieces.

I attached the bow with the wire.

On a swag like this I just stuck the pieces of the bush in the swag, filling in some of the bare spots. There was no need to glue or wire the filler on.

In the picture above you can see on the right side where the I put the small pic and and how much better it looks to add a little more greenery.

Here is some of the start of how we decorate after the holidays.  We have so much more to do, and are a little behind but are really in no hurry.  We are working on a lot more projects and will be sharing soon!  Thanks so much for stopping by, and sorry we have been so out of it!  I am hoping Denise feel much better next week!  Have a great weekend everyone! :)
