Good morning friends, I thought it would be fun to post my Valentine’s Day decor from last year. I love looking back, even if it is just one year, to see the progression of change. I was 4 months into my blog this time last year, and trudging forward with a creative escape.
I went for the shabby chic look last year. It’s so fun viewing these photos, because they are here to inspire you and I for those home decor ruts we all run into. You don’t have to use pink, and can still gather ideas from the simple placement of items like this vignette on a side table.
I was creating a romantic setting for a hashtag challenge in these photos. I remember trying to balance that old window in the background!!
I was learning so much about photography too, and would like to think I have improved by leaps and bounds. One thing I will say for sure, NO FLASH!!
I created a wine cork heart out of stained red corks last year, and posted the super easy tutorial here. A great use for stained red corks!
This next vignette is so busy! I actually migrate more towards simplicity, but admire those of you who can rock a vignette using so many objects, and it doesn’t look “busy” at all! I fee like I failed at this shot, there’s no height, the angle of the photo is all wrong, too much glass and silver. It is washed out. A lot has changed in our bedroom since this photo 😀
I received this tray and bottle set for Christmas last year. Love the simplicity of these roses, I may have to mimic this again.
I loved this shot from last year. My dad gave me my grandmother’s old Bibles. They are so fragile, so I bound them together with ribbon to protect the covers. I love how old books add character to your decor. They are such good space fillers too!
I made a garland out of an old table cloth and some ribbon. You can catch the tutorial here.
Thanks so much for stopping by, I’ll be sharing this year’s Valentine’s decor next <3

against hackers? I’m kinda paranoid about losing everything I’ve worked hard on. Any recommendations?

March 23, 2017 at 5:47 amAmazing blog! Is your theme custom made or did you
download it from somewhere? A theme like yours with a few simple adjustements would really make my blog stand out.
Please let me know where you got your theme. Thanks

March 22, 2017 at 7:19 pmHi there would you mind stating which blog platform you’re working with?
I’m looking to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a
tough time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different
then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique.
P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

are added- checkbox and now each time a comment is added I receive
four emails with the exact same comment. Is there an easy method you can remove me from that service?
Appreciate it!

March 21, 2017 at 10:50 amWith havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or
copyright infringement? My blog has a lot of unique content I’ve
either authored myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my agreement.
Do you know any methods to help protect against content from being ripped off?
I’d really appreciate it.

March 21, 2017 at 5:26 amHey there! I understand this is sort of off-topic but I had to ask.
Does building a well-established website such as yours require a lot of work?
I am completely new to writing a blog but I do write in my journal every day.
I’d like to start a blog so I can easily share my experience
and views online. Please let me know if you have any recommendations or tips for brand new aspiring bloggers.
Thankyou!

March 21, 2017 at 4:10 amWhy people still make use of to read news papers when in this technological world all is existing on web?
Itamar Serpa Fernandes says
March 21, 2017 at 1:16 amHave you ever thought about including a little bit
more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and everything.
However think of if you added some great photos or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”!
Your content is excellent but with images and clips, this
site could certainly be one of the very best in its niche.
Wonderful blog!
Anibal says
March 20, 2017 at 10:00 amI’m not that much of a online reader to be honest but your blogs really nice, keep it up!

February 26, 2017 at 8:31 pmI am curious to find out what blog platform you happen to be working with?
I’m experiencing some small security issues with my latest
blog and I’d like to find something more safeguarded. Do you
have any solutions?
