Valentine's Day has never been one of my more favored holidays but I think that with all the time at home this year, I added way more than usual. I have one bin with Valentine's stuff in my attic that I've collected over many years and I used most of it in my kitchen.I think that, more than anything I was craving a pop of color and some cheer to add to this space.
I like how so many colors play well with the blue/green of the island. The pandemic won't disrupt our usual Valentine's Day plans. I usually cook a nice dinner at home and we give the kids (and each other!) some chocolate from a small shop in the neighborhood I grew up in.
We had a big snowstorm and are expecting more so there will likely still be snow out that window come February 14. It seems like we are getting a few winter's worth of snow in a short period of time here in NJ. We're used to lot of snow up in the mountains at the cabin, but here in NJ it turns into a big mess very quickly.
The banner over the sink is new this year, from Target and was a part of the Opalhouse Valentine's Day decor. And the dish towel on the sink as well as the dish towels hanging as curtains are all from TJMaxx. Everything else is old.
I switched over to a red cardinal bird sponge at the sink. Those little sponges are so fun!
As always, your kitchen is so pretty! Love all the red. You are such an inspiration to me, thanks for sharing your decor.
ReplyDeleteI love the way You mix and match patterns. What's Your secret?
ReplyDeleteYour house is always beautiful and these pictures are no exception. Those pops of red during a dreary February just make everything look happy!

ReplyDeleteYour home makes me happy. Seeing it makes me try to look at my home with fresh eyes looking for opportunities. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI love your style! I am also a Jersey girl and live in the mountains of West Milford! I love your home and your style and enjoy seeing your home tours. I get some great inspiration from it all. Thanks for doing it. I agree with you on needing some color earlier this year too.
ReplyDeleteI just went to come over and have a cup of tea and soak in all of the cuteness!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is the cutest house I've ever seen. Period. (The golden is pretty darned cute, too!) Happy Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteLove red and everything you've done!! HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!
ReplyDeleteI've been obsessed with your kitchen for months now! You do a great job changing things around and making them look incredible. I love how the island color allows so many different colors into the kitchen. I would love to know what blue-green color you used. I have picked out 3 different paint colors trying to match yours, I have not been successful.
ReplyDeleteI love everything about your house!
