Valentine's Day Dining Hutch

Hello friends!

I did a little Valentine's Day decorating...

just a little, nothing over the top or anything.

I went so white & neutral with my decor after Christmas

 that seeing the reds & pinks of Valentine's Day

has been a welcome change!

I don't think there's anything new here.

It's the same Valentine's Day elements 

I've used for several years, just switched up.

I made the flowered heart wreath & the stuffed hearts

(all out of felt & fleece) quite a few years ago.

I never really tired of them,

so here they are again. 

Have you decorated for Valentine's Day yet?

Do you go all out or do you prefer "just a little", like me?

Have a wonderful day & thanks for visiting!

Oh Winter!

Winter.

What can I say?

I'm developing a love/hate relationship with Winter.

I don't hate it, but I'm kind of sick of it, too.

This happens to me every year. 

Trouble is I find it happens earlier & earlier every year, 

which is not good considering we have a long way to go yet.

Ok, no more complaining.

Here's some Winter around the house...

Kitchen:  

I think my next posts will be about Valentine's Day.

I'm going to adopt my oldest sister's attitude which is...

Put away all the Winter decor & think Spring!

Sounds like a pretty decent plan, don't you think?

Good morning all!

This has been one heck of a Winter, hasn't it?  

When I checked my phone yesterday at 8am,

we were looking at a temperature of -12 degrees.

Factor in the wind chill & it felt like -23 degrees. 

Crazy.

We've been using our fireplace more than ever.

It just makes you feel so cozy to have a fire going,

especially at night while relaxing & watching TV.

I went with gray & white for my Winter decor.

Such a change after the bright colors of Christmas!

Everything here is stuff you've already seen before...

except for the wreath, that's new.

I found it after Christmas at Pier 1 and

thought it was perfect for Winter.

My ladder from Decor Steals.

I love it.

A little Winter for the coffee table.

 Maybe I should rethink

my chalkboard sentiment.

I think it started snowing the second I put it up!

Have a wonderful week, my friends!
