Simple Valentine’s Day Decor Ideas

The Dollar Tree comes through again! I popped in there the other day to get inspired, and just grabbing a few things, I was able to add some lovey-doveyness to our home.

I grabbed this 9 feet heart garland.

I played around with it, tried looping it through the chandelier rungs (is that what they’re called? Sounds weird…ANYwho…), it wasn’t looking so hot. So I simply took it apart (it’s just felt and little loops that are easily separated), and hung little strips from the rungs instead.

It’s a little different, and I like it:)

I had one more little strand left, so I added it onto some shelves.

Also added some old plates of my grandmother’s, and stuck a few fake roses (again, Dollar Tree purchase!) in my aqua jars. Oh, and let’s not forget about that gorgeous thermostat! That really adds just the right touch, don’tcha think? 😉

Speaking of roses…you know, I used to have this real thing against fake flowers. Like big time. But in recent years, my phobia’s let up a lot. And let’s face it, after the Christmas decor comes down, what bare house couldn’t use a touch of color here and there, right? So I grabbed a few bunches, and placed them in my white pitchers. Here’s a big one (from HomeGoods)…

…and a teeny-tiny one…

That little bunch of sweetheart roses actually came from Michaels – and set me back a whopping $2. Love the punch of red against the white and pale blues.

I also picked up a bag of rose petals (you might remember those from the LOVE glasses). I threw some in a glass vase, added a white candle, and wrapped the vase in ribbon (from the Dollar Tree). I thought it needed some height, so I placed it on a cake stand I had (a 50 cent yard sale find from a while back!). Scattered some pink and red heart confetti (again, Dollar Tree!), and I had my centerpiece.

That runner is from several years back – I think I picked it up at Target.

Oh! And good news. My Facebook friends might have seen that photo of my broken Conversation Heart Wreath from last year. I hot glued it back together, used some red ribbon leftover from Christmas, and hung that bad boy up on our mirror!

Thumbs-up for a saved wreath! 🙂
Another decoration I pulled out from last year is my doily banner…

Doesn’t show up as well this year, now that the buffet table is white instead of black, but I can deal;). It’s just a string of jute, with mini red clothespins and heart shaped doilies. You could also attach Valentine’s Day cards if you like.

I had these red hearts from the Dollar Tree – I hung them from the chandelier last year, but this year, I decided to do something different with them.
