Love is in the Air

Lately I've been in a Valentine's kinda mood. This year it's all about pink, rose petals and colored glass.

My china hutch.  The heart wreath is just a straw wreath that I wrapped in fabric and the AnnaSophia (with a little help) pinned fabric pieces all over.  This gave her something to help with while I was making the swag for my office.

I made the heart swag for the window it says "Happy Valentines"  The angels are from the Bradford Exchange.  I have about 2 dozen.  I'm still looking for ways to use these lovelys.

Side table

A close-up of the tiered server on the side table.  It miniture tea cups, teapots, and birds nested in vintage lace with a few jewels thrown in.

The coffee table.  The pink tray is a vintage vanity tray that I spray painted.

The dining room.

Sideboard.  The glass vases were Dollar Store finds and the lovely pitcher came from Home Goods.  How could I resist?

My office.  AnnaSophia wanted to help me make this swag - unfortunately for her she's only 4 and tieing (sp ?) is not her thing. So she made the heart wreath.  This is an old mailroom divider that I found years ago.  It is one of my favorite pieces.  It has 30 cubbies.  I use the top cubbies for bills, etc and the bottom for school.   As you can see by the overflowing state of the boxes it time to do the taxes.... YECH!!!!

Another view of the office.  My favorite piece here is the pink one on the left.  It was a Christmas sale item from.....Home Goods, of course!

The kitchen.  I had a few sparkly hearts from Michaels and some leftover hears from the window swag.  This is another cubby that I found a few years ago.  It holds my mixing bowls and cook books.  On the top are the drink stations - tea on the left (the girls) and hot chocolate on the right (the boys) LOL :)

The entrance.  Unfortunately I couldn't fit in my topiary tree with pink lights that is on the right.

Closeup of the candle.  I love these glass stones from Michaels.  They're various shades of pink, green and clear.

The piano.

Well this is what has been done so far.  I'm still working on the family room and the bedroom.  I'll post pictures of these when I get them done.

Blessings,
