A Valentine’s Day Sideboard

I don’t decorate for Valentine’s Day like I used to when the kids were younger and I taught primary school.  But this year I thought I’d play around with a vignette on the sideboard in the breakfast nook.

It was fun gathering romantic notions from around the house that I already had.

I used one of my grain sack runners with a red stripe as the base.

I found the round enamel “14” in Paris.  It’s also the date of my wedding anniversary.

I have a couple of these plateau baskets and they make excellent displays because of the flat surface.

My husband and I love our Bialetti expresso maker.  It’s the old fashioned traditional way to make espresso.  The espresso cups and saucers came from Williams-Sonoma and the toile heart was a gift from my friend, Cat.

These red toile napkins are from Williams-Sonoma and the matching table cloth is on the dining room table.

I put M & M’s in one of my French jam jars and added it to the cherub compote.

I’m definitely enjoying my new chalkboard from Ballard Design.

I cut out some toile hearts and added the string!

I’m using some of these same items and working on a vignette for the dining table using a painted tool box.  I’ll show you that later.

Hope you’re having a marvelously romantic week before Valentine’s Day!

Blessings,

Kim
