Since we are about a week away from Valentine's Day, I thought it was time to decorate for the holiday. While I am not a big fan of the day for me personally, I do enjoy decorating and celebrating with the kids.
Here I made a little change to the entry way and I have to say, the EASIEST way to change up a room or area for a special day is with cute little burlap banners. I've managed to collect one for every holiday or season it seems.
It used to be that I would decorate every part of the house but these days, with three very active and involved kids, I've started to keep it simple by mainly decorating our formal dining room and then bits and pieces in the rooms we spend the most time in.
I came across taller birds on sale at Michael's the other day and scooped up two for my dining room pillar holders. They are two different colors but both blue and both fit the color theme. Bonus that you can see it better than the little ones I had there before (see older post).
Can you see the bird there in the background on the wall?
I also have become a bit obsessed with table runners. Mainly with finding the right size. I love the small square one I got after Christmas but with my big metal tray that I'm now keeping on the table, it hid too much of it. Then I found this PERFECT length one - not too short and not too long. Now I've got options and can switch them up depending on my centerpiece.
Another view.
With our 5 month-old puppy I've had a very difficult time keeping plants alive in this space by the front door. If he can reach it he will eat the leaves. Sigh.
I'm hoping this forever bouquet I whipped up today will be tall enough that he can't reach it.
I'm pretty happy with the final results, although it might need one more tall leave in the back.
There's always something to tweak! LOL
