Today, I am finishing up my Tour of the Living Room decorated for Winter/Valentine's.....
In my last post, I continued my Tour of the Living Room decorated for Valentine's with a bit of Winter thrown in, which is new for this year....
Click HERE if you missed that post!!
Because I have been taking my time sharing our townhouse decorated for Winter/Valentine's, I will actually be finishing up the Room by Room Tour the day after Valentine's Day...
BUT....
That is okay because as I have mentioned before, we really do not celebrate Valentine's Day but celebrate the month of February as American Heart Month!
Heart disease ran rampant in my Dad's family, taking him and several of his brothers and sisters.....
My Dad passed away suddenly in February of 1987 of an acute myocardial infarction ( heart attack)....
I celebrate February as Heart month and decorate with Hearts because I carry him with me in my heart...
Today, I am finishing up my tour of the Living Room decorated for Winter/Valentine's....
In my last post, I ended with the hallway to the Kitchen.....
Back in the Living Room to the left.....
The top of the stereo table......
I have added a bit of Valentine's decor to my regular Victorian decor.....
In the cubby holes......
On the soffit between the Living Room and Dining Room, I hung a red velvet rose swag above this cherub plaque which was a yard sale buy for only $5 many years ago........
I do want to mention that a big project I want to do after Easter is to paint this paneled brick wall for the 3rd time in 46 years....
This is my inspiration photo from Pinterest.....
I think it will give the room more of a Cottage look.....
In the corner by the Dining Room is a large round table....
On the wall above it.....
I added a few red roses to the shelves on each side of the faux window....
Along with adding a few Valentine's decorations to my normal Victorian decor, I added a few books from my classic book collection.......
"Little Women and Pride and Prejudice", bought many years ago in Barnes and Nobles....
Throughout the room, I placed Valentine's cards or Victorian styled Valentine's post cards in front of photo frames....
The clock was my MIL's gift when she retired at the age of 55 years old from what used to be an RCA factory....
I picked up that lovely bust at a yard sale!
I like to hang a wreath and other signs on the faux window....
A wreath that I made a long time ago....
I embellished these 3 Dollar Tree Valentine's envelopes
I decided to leave the bells up that I bought in Big Lot's after Christmas....
I finally got around to making 2 envelope pillow covers from fabric I had in my stash.....
It is a stretchy knit velvet like fabric with embossed roses on it.....
They were a bugger to sew but they do fit nicely on the pillow forms....
I may make 2 more....
On the right side of the faux window....
Hanging on the Living Room window is another Dollar Tree envelope that I embellished....
The 3 tiered vintage table next to the TV Entertainment Center.....
A "Valentine's Snowman"....
The ceramic heart box was a gift from my Mother....
The vintage decanteur and set of glasses is usually in the Hutch but I went with a different look for Valentine's this year in the hutch....
I recently "dabbled" a bit with a Valentine's metal heart box that had gnomes on it....
Much better now.....
In a red velvet sled sits a Bearington Bear wearing a squirrel disguise!!
I also shared the top of the TV Entertainment Center in a previous post....
On the floor in front of it.....
2 vintage Valentine's cards .....
A few Bearington Bears.....
A vintage styled Valentine's postcard, a heart box that I filled with red and white velvet roses and a small mailbox that I decorated.....
A "letter " sign to go with the mailbox.....
On the right side of the TV Entertainment Center......
On a small round table.....
Again, I placed a vintage styled postcard in front of a picture frame......
I left out the red and gold floral ring from Christmas....
Our son Joey comes everyday for Dinner and this is usually where he sits until he leaves around 7pm....
I moved the chair at this angle during Christmas for him the see the TV better.....
Doing that left a gap between the table and the chair....
At Christmas, I put this small pathway Tree here to fill that gap.....
I wrapped a Dollar Tree red tinsel Valentine's garland around it and added a few gold snow flakes and a wreath ornament on top.....
I also kept out the red candle ornaments I used on Trees in this room for Christmas....
I will be looking for a nice faux plant or some sort of topiary like something to put in this place because I like this arrangement......
I left out the red throws and gold and red fur pillows after Christmas.....
And that completes my room tour of the Living Room for Winter/ Valentine's.......
I am really enjoying how the house looks this Winter and I had a lot of fun putting it all together....
In my next post on SATURDAY, I will start sharing how I decorated the Dining Room this year for Valentine's, starting with the buffet.....
This year, I set up a Valentine's Sweet Shop on the buffet......
I also will be sharing a bit of Crafting too.....
So I hope you will stop by to visit again on SATURDAY
for Saturday Snippets!!!
Stay safe, healthy and most of all, HAPPY!!
