Valentine’s Day Decorating Ideas for Your Home

February 12, 2020January 27, 2021

As Valentine’s Day draws near give your home some romantic touches. For me, I never really celebrated this holiday much until I had kids. After all the fun of Christmas, Valentine’s Day just felt empty like it needed something. Plus I needed a way to chase away the winter blues. Decorating with love of reds, pinks, and fresh flowers definitely did the trick.

I tend to lean toward more of a farmhouse style in my decor. Although I must admit, it was harder to find items for this holiday than others. So I searched more handmade options from sites like Etsy or from unique local stores.

Here are a few inspirational photos of areas around our home.
