You’ll never guess what I used for this simple Valentine’s Day decor: I rediscovered my vintage heart-shaped jello molds when I was organizing our storage room last week, and I decided to use them for this quick Valentine’s Day decor and tablescape.
Because Valentine’s day will be here before you know it, right? I’ll show you that pulling off some decorating for any holiday doesn’t have to take long.
Simple Valentine’s Day Decor Ideas
I can never get enough of styling table settings: I love to think of all the dishes I have, decide which ones will work best, and look out for a few new items.
Putting it all together is my favorite part.

I had a vintage heart-shaped pie tin I had totally forgotten about and put it under the little jewelry holder I used as a candy dish for my tablescape last year as well.
Heart paper doilies are a super simple way to add color or texture to a table setting.
I used the little paper mason jars on the table this year — do you remember the banner I made with them?
How adorable is this vintage Valentine?! The ones they sell nowadays just don’t even get close to these vintage ones.
This tic-tac-toe game is from Target. I used the xoxo banner again on the mantel, just a little differently than last year.
I wasn’t sure which picture to put on the mantle, but when I looked through the big ones I have, I thought this one with the Eiffel Tower I repainted white was perfect with the touch of red.
When I photographed all this, I used these shabby chic corbels — they have now been added to our porch and look so cute there.
The red wreath, heart with the key, and wood hearts are new from the Christmas Tree Shops. They run around $3 each, which is a good deal.
That’s it: simple Valentine’s Day decor for our Blue Cottage.
Do you make a point to decorate for Valentine’s Day?

Hi Dagmar, I have enjoyed your blog and Instagram account for a couple of years now. I myself am not on any social media. Anyway, I had noticed you hadn’t posted a lot lately and I just saw your Instagram about valentines décor about your divorce. I am so sorry to hear that. However I love your attitude about focusing on your son and what’s ahead for you. Although I’m sure it’s not how you would have liked, everything happens for a reason and you have a beautiful son who is clearly your best friend! Everything will work out and you seem like a very strong person who can handle it. All the best to you!

Dear Jenny, you are so sweet to reach out! Yes, I have not been working much on my blog all of 2019. I have focused on writing a novel and am writing the second one! That has kept me sane while going to the transition of being single again :). I am very blessed, my son is my favorite person in the world and travel buddy, and he is healthy and happy — that’s all I can ask for.

So festive and pretty! I love the galvanized three-tiered server. It’s perfect filled with Valentine goodies. And the little heart-shaped jello molds, too.
Let me know when the party starts! I’ll bring the hear-shaped valentine cake!
