My favorite…not so much “what” you made but how you shopped your house, put limits on what you were willing to do, and did simple, sweet things in a livable manner. You have great inspirational ideas that help me think outside the box. Thanks for all the hard work! We are blessed by it. PS, I think you must have THE BEST thrift shops anywhere! I’ve never seen anything in our shops like what you find at the prices you find.
I totally agree; that's why I enjoy her so much! By the way, hi, Fanny......~Nikki E.
I like how it appears you limited the spaces you decorated. I like the idea of a small nod to Valentine's Day without being overblown through the whole house. Small, sweet, and softly romantic. Beautiful!
Great job! I decorate with 1900’s love letters and old books from an antique store wrapped in old French ribbons. I have pretty mercury hearts in red, pink and silver that I hang in my kitchen windows and put more into ironstone bowls through out my home. I also use pink and white milk glass. I love decorating each holiday, my mother who has passed did and it’s a tribute to her! 💌❤️🩹💞
Pls share pics
You created a wonderful vision for me to imagine ❣️
Dawn s. Were were you able to find the mercury hearts.
You are so clever....you manage to make vintage and delightful vignettes out of ordinary things. You always inspire me...thank you.
My son was born on Valentines Day so it’s a favorite day for me!
Thank you, thank you, for keeping this day vintage!!!
My valentines day is a romantic, French, lace, crystals, white, creams, brooches, candles and flowers
...
Beautiful video
Thank you
Ps I forgot I always host a nice dinner, for husband, daughter, mom and I and dressing 👗cute is a must ...
I am now a reformed believer in beautiful Valentines decor, I too thought it was tacky and never decorated, but as usual you made it look soft, romantic and fun!!!! Thanks for sharing and Happy Valentine’s Day❤️🇨🇦
I rarely decorate for Valentines Day because I don’t like the bright, child like offerings. You nailed it. Thank you for sharing your ideas. My favorites were the little envelopes, the re paper cones and your choice of florals.
Hi Sarah! Well I do love (no pun intended) to decorate for Valentine's Day and now even more! l especially liked your DIY vintage ideas. My late mother had the busts of the girl and boy and I am using them this year for the first time. They are beautiful and probably at least 50 years old. I put them in a large wood lantern (there's no glass) and they are gazing at each other. I can't believe after all this time, it just now dawned on me to put them out for Valentine's Day. I had a good laugh at your kid's saying it was Singles Awareness Day! My daughter used to say my decorating only reminded her even more that she didn't have a boyfriend! Hah! You're right....we do need a lot more love right now in this world. Thanks for all your work on this! I've already watched it twice and will probably do so again! Please do another for Easter!!!
Very sweet. I have a collection of old heart cookie cutters that I toss in a flat wire basket on my kitchen island. Closer to the day, I’ll fill it with cookies….made with the cutters. 💕😊
Sweet ideas! I have my grandma and her sister’s Valentines from 1928, so I like to display those every year.
I never liked Valentine's Day or its decor either. I always thought it was tacky until recent years. I've found more than anything my kids are always looking for something to celebrate haha, so Ive played with decor lately and I must say, its really been kind of a fun transition in that space after Christmas and Spring when you're not quite sure what to do. We have really enjoyed it. Great video thank you!
You have such an artistic mind
My hubby is a romantic so I have to decorate for Valentines - I am blessed I guess - great ideas - I use so much black and pale pink - TFI
Loved it. This is so much better than the traditional. You are so inspiring.
Great video. I printed out some vintage Valentines on card stock and glued them to a dowel an inserted them in wooden thread spools. I also left out some of my red Christmas balls and tied some valentine ribbon on the balls. ❤️❤️❤️
Glad this popped up for me again this year, triggered an old memory that was bittersweet. When I was little, my Mom repainted an old desk in a vintage red and used some sort of stain or wax over it to darken it and age it more. It was a bear of a project as I remember. I wish she was still around so I could ask her...why red, why vintage, LOL!! It was early 70s and I don't think it even moved with us when we moved in '73 after all that work. But the finish looked just like your chair and the moment I saw that I was transported back. Wish I had thought about it during her last year and had asked her about it. She was always so crafty and making things for our home, reupholstering furniture, made all of our dresses, just amazing. Thank you ❤️
I TOTALLY understand about that blanket! 🤣 It is so beautiful!
"I knew you would understand"
Hehe.
Great video. I grab vintage crepe paper whether I see it in blush, cream, white and use it to make old-school valentine decor...instant charm. Also white cotton kitchen string is another instant vintage trick. No plastic or brights for this vintage girl. Thanks Sarah!
I agree with what you said about quality of Valentine’s Day decor! Just having beautiful florals and keeping a more neutral palette (whites, greens, beige tones, pine cones) from now until spring is the way I went this year. Cozy and simple. Love the idea of mixing in more peach and muted feminine colors
I liked the envelopes tied with string. I do a little decorating for most holidays. I have an adult special needs daughter who is very into the calendar and all special days on it. 😁
My home is set up for winter with lovely blues and whites with snowflakes. I live in a cold winter area. I will add pops of things for valentine's day and then st Patrick's day. Not changing anything over until spring/Easter. Too much work.
Your projects are always inspiring and lovely, TFS.
What beautiful ideas!! They all make valentines more exciting to celebrate ❤️❤️.
Your ideas are vintage perfect! I rarely decorate Valentines Day for the same reason. Your romantic vintage, elegant Valentines Day decor is a breathe of fresh air that we need in February 🌺🌸🌺 Chelli
Beautiful…Classy…Romantic…Vintage!!! Could not be anything better! Love how you used items in your home and everything else was easily attainable and affordable! Cannot wait to use some of these ideas. Have a baby girl shower coming up that many of these items will be perfect for!
Best valentine display ever. You continue to a amaze me. Your mind must never rest . All of these are gorgeous
Love everything you do! You should definitely do something similar for Easter.
I loved all of this. Favorite was the bags and envelopes.
Thank you for all of your inspiring, thoughtful ideas for Valentine's Day! We've tried to focus on the Judeo-Christian history of Saint Valentine, rather than the Roman interpretations, for the kids' sakes especially. It really is a holiday to celebrate "agape"
love, rather than romantic, and all of your ideas, finds, talents and efforts are timeless reminders of the caring and love we have for all of our fellow human beings.
Love your decor! For the last few years my husband and I go to an antique store to find vintage or antique Valentine’s cards/post cards for each other. They already have someone else’s message and signatures on them. They get a second life for the original sender so long ago, and we always come up with a sweet or funny story about the previous sender and receiver.
Love that!
Yes...valentines is least favorite "holiday"...but love blush pinks and the soft feminine touches I throw around the house during January. If course. I have to counter that with superbowl and football decor first of Feb! Lol. I am fortunate to have my grandparents love letters from the 30s. I tie them up in string and they make the prettiest decor! Loved all of your ideas!
I love the cupcakes & cookies. I’m crazy for hearts. I dislike the garish treatment of valentines decor & cards. I love what you did.
Thanks for taking the tacky out of valentinesday!
This was the most beautiful valentines decor I’ve ever seen. I’m not a Valentine’s fan myself as far as decorating but I’d definitely wouldn’t mind this decor in my home.
My fav was the lace screen! It elevates the decor so much to have special items that act as backdrops.
Great suggestions, I’m always looking for inspiration for a nod to a holiday that is more subtle than the commercial version. Thank you!
I appreciate all your hard work. I like Valentines Day now! It doesn’t have to look so tacky and child like when it’s none right. Good job girl!
I love the idea of mixing faux and real flowers!
Just beautiful Sarah and thank you for staying true to your vintage style that I just so deeply love…loved it all
Firecrackers were so British. 😍
I love Valentine's Day because I got engaged on V.D. 49 years ago. I love all of your ideas and I'm going to try several of your ideas. I love them all!
Absolutely beautiful 😍
You do beautiful work! I love everything you do!!
Loved everything and love to celebrate all of the people in my life on Valentines Day!
Everything is so sweet. Thank you for sharing!!
It was so inspiring to see Valentines decor with a tasteful and upscale flair!! Thank you!
As far as decor goes, I think St. Valentine's Day is just like any other. If you prefer vintage items, they can be found for all holidays. I have a collection of vintage Valentine cards (some mass produced and some handmade) and they are all very soft images with none of the garish quality of modern things. But, it might help people enjoy the holiday more if they learned its origins (which really had little to do with romantic love) by studying Saint Valentine and his life. There is one story of his life in which a yellow crocus plays a large part so that would be an historically correct representation of the holiday that I imagine few know about. I appreciate you always encouraging a timeless and less wasteful approach to enjoying holidays and our homes. Thank you!
Totally agree about vintage items for every holiday! It's actually not even that hard to find things at thrift stores for each one.
What about Groundhog Day? It mark's the middle of Winter. Whenever if fell on a Saturday I tried to make a big deal of it for my children, and it was fun. They are all grown up now but they still remember the fun traditions that were created.
You could drip the wax on parchment paper instead of wax paper. I loved this video.
Beautiful! I love how your chair turned out!
Your tutorials make me miss the creative process of being a Montessori teacher.💘❤ I loved this video.
Thank you for all the time you spent creating these 14 fabulous ideas! January is such a let down normally because we take Christmas decorations down and put them away, and for me, it seems too early to decorate for Spring. Well done valentines decorations are just what we need. I especially love the tissue tassel garland and crackers. So sweet and soft. I have a lot of red transfer ware I don’t really like all that much anymore because my color taste has changed but I will try to use some of your ideas to bring them back to life for this season. Happy Valentine’s to you and your family! 💕🙏🏻
Oh my goodness, what a DARLING video!!! Thank you so much for all the hard work!! I can't wait to see what you decided to share for Easter!! I love the sprinkling of ideas and crafts and am SO grateful for the lack of plastic-y junk!!! Have a great weekend!! :)
Re-watching this again for inspiration, this is one of my fav videos of yours - seeing how you pulled things from your own house ❤
This inspired me to decorate for winter with white and vintage red, add green for Christmas then, replace the green with dusty pink for Valentine’s Day. Thank you!
Sweet, very elevated ideas made for very little expense! I love them all! I've never been a fan of red and pink together, so this is sooo attractive to me! You are so creative, especially considering you shopped so much from what was already at home. 💕Well done!
Another classy video. I too hate the cartoonish decor of most valentines decor. Everyone not looking for the teen decor and gifts. Love “national singles awareness day”.
Thank you for doing the work to show people how you can celebrate this day in an affordable and classy way.
Very original ideas. Loved the different household, dollar tree and thrift store transformations rather than the off the shelf plastic Valentines offerings. Video was jammed pack with
unique ideas. TFS
Your vignettes are so beautiful! Reminds me of Victoria Magazine! Very romantic!
Yes! That is definitely the way to make Valentine's Day less tacky and more elegant.
I so loved all the projects. My favorite was the bags you cut and punched as it was so creative. I am not a big fan of traditional V. day however my girls turned it into a National Holdiay in my home due to my wedding anniversary being on that day. We are all about the vintage look.
Very tastefully done
Beautiful, subtle decor for Valentine's day. I loved it. Very inspiring. Thank you and bless you for all your hard work!!
Ohhh I LUVVVV them alll💕 Thanks for great inspiration for beautiful Valentine's decoratiions
First of all I love how you say pink. It is so cute and dainty. 2nd, great ideas. I love the caned vases and sweet paper garland.
Thank you for the paper tassel idea! I took some paper floral napkins that I had and separated the layers and made 2 different tassels. One was the colored flowers and the other was white backing. Didn't have any tape but found some ribbon in my stash that worked. I loved using what I had and figured out how to make it. Thank you again for all your inspiration on all things home!
Great job!
I love the way you came up with all of these Valentine's ideas. They are very non intrusive LOVE IT !
Beautiful! I loved these ideas. So much better than the usual tacky valentine decorations. I am really looking forward to a similar Easter decor video.
I have always avoided this tacky holiday. But as always, you turned it into a beautiful display of something to be remembered... thank you
You are so welcome!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these!! I'm so jealous of that throw!!! LOL!!! Love the tassels, they are adorable! I have always wanted some red transfer ware, it reminds me of the bed and breakfast we stayed in for our honeymoon. Every morning, those beautiful plates and teacups sat out beside an amazing breakfast hot out of the oven and the most delicious teas!!!
Great video I call February the month of love thanks fir sharing
Love,love,love. The entire esthetic was beautifully presented A+ . Valentines Done right
I hadn't seen tissue paper tassels before....so cute. Love decorating with old books and dishes like your tea cups.
I loved all of your sweet Valentine’s Day ideas! So refreshing after all of the bright neon red and pink!
You had some very sweet ideas! It did look like a lot of work, but it was enjoyable to see different things from the usual Valentine decor.
I cannot pick a favorite because I love them all. You sure gave me some great ideas on how to decorate for Valentine Day, Thank you.
All is so beautiful and adorable! Can I just say all 14 are my favorites. Love then all! ❤💌
I enjoyed watching & loved all of your ideas!
Marvelous! I do not like the typical valentine decorations either and usually don't do any decorating. This has inspired me! I will shop my house. I have lots of things to choose from. Thank you
I loved all of your designs!! I really love the softness of colors❣️. Some beautiful ideas. Thank you for putting your time and love in all. Happy Valentines Day❣️💕💕💕
I’ve never decorated specifically for Valentines Day. I always had treats for the family but that was about it. And maybe a funky cake. Your Valentines decorations were lovely. I liked the blanket and the balloons best! Have a great rest of your day and God bless you
So cute and pretty for Valentines. I do not do much decorating for this day. Fun watching!
Loved this video. So sweet are these decorations and you are right that it does not look commercial and glaring. My favorite craft was the vases. But what I was inspired by the most was the gathering of materials like books and plates. Such a lovely was to repurpose.
I'm inspired for Valentine's Day, and yes, I agree with what your kids said about National Single Awareness Day 😉 My favorite was a toss-up between the tassels and the envelopes.
Beautifully done! Thank you for ideas. I knew a few of the how to’s. Just didn’t think to use them for V~day! So I’ll be updating my vignette area very soon. I decorate an area for the grands. Very excited to make cones, tassels, crackers, envelopes & sweets! I don’t have many red items but I do have whites, creams. The floral inspection was perfect. Again, thank you for so many wonderful ideas!
I love the chair. I’m not a bright red fan. I love the darker reds, barn red, burgundies.
what a great video!!!!i want more like this....
bring in a little bit of nature
I really enjoyed this video. I really liked the envelopes with twine. It was all good!
Oh Sarah!! You always inspire me! I’ve never liked the plastic Valentine’s Day 😂 but this I can get behind! ❤️
Lovely alternative decor that I am ok to live with. The bright decor is hard to put up with!
So so adorable!! I love you!! And what you do! I loved all the DIY’s, but my favorite was the paper bags and the cookies. You bless me!
I loved all the ideas! I have a white branch tree sitting on a table in our living room then I have printed out Bible verses about love and have them hanging off the branches with ribbon. My kids are out of the house now but I like to do it to show my husband how I try to love him like Jesus.
Love that, Rhonda!
All of the items are adorable! Such a gentle touch is a special reminder and that is so beautiful. I enjoy the way you approached the day.
Thank you for these simple, elegant and inexpensive ideas. I think you achieved your aims with these projects.
Very sweet! Loved it all! I have collected vintage St. Valentine cards over the years and I usually just put them, but you've inspired me to do more, Sarah! 💝
Thank you! I really enjoyed watching all the Valentine's Day decorations and loved the color schemes!
Such beautiful decorations that celebrates love. Smiles...
I absolutely adore your style. It is so me. You give such great ideas and I love seeing what you find when you thrift. Thank you!!
I agree about commercial valentines decorations. Love your style!
Beautifully done! Thank You
So well done! 💕 You have beautiful, creative ideas and I would love them all in my home because your choice of colors make my heart sing! Thank you.
What a great video. Because I've not liked what has been the available for Valentine's decor, I started doing it my way. Thanks for sharing your hart.....I mean hard work!
