Create a Beautiful Home On a Budget
One of the things I saw at the craft store the last time I went were blue, scalloped note cards.
I knew exactly what to make with them: the cutest Valentine for kids that I mentioned in the post about my 5 favorite Valentine’s Day ideas from Pinterest.
I’m not a fan of Valentine’s Day cards for kids that say “I’ve got my eyes on you!” or “I’m wild about you!” — I think that’s kind of creepy.
That’s why I love this idea so much. It’s so darling and clever, and who doesn’t like a bit of candy?
Here is an idea for an easy and inexpensive Valentine’s Day tablescape with some unique items, like heart-shaped paper doilies.
I’ve been planning my Valentine’s Day tablescape for a couple of weeks now, always keeping it in the back of my mind when I was shopping for decor.
I finally put it all together and photographed it.
Shabby chic kitchens are just lovely — so cozy and inviting. Get inspired by these decor ideas if you consider this style. I’ll show you how I incorporated some of them into my farmhouse/cottage kitchen.
Shabby chic decor often starts out with a lot of white, and then you decorate with soft pinks and vintage, chippy treasures or dainty flower patterns or lace.
Let me show you what I mean:
Oh, is there anything more lovely than a shabby chic kitchen?
When I got early access to Pinterest many years ago, a whole new world opened up for me.
Instead of ripping pages out of magazines, which I did all the time, I started pinning pictures of things and ideas I love to my 200+ boards.
My shabby chic board grows with more ideas all the time.
A lot of shabby chic and chippy kitchen ideas also have elements of farmhouse or cottage decor. They even work well with a more modern style.
I’m a big believer of buying items that speak to you and creating your own style by surrounding yourself with decor you love. Even if its not all farmhouse or shabby chic decor, it will work together just fine because you like all of the items.
