Nature Inspired Valentine’s Day Display

Sharing is caring!

I typically don’t do a lot of decorating for Valentine’s Day, except for some fun treats laying around. But now that we have this amazing Shiplap Display Wall in our kitchen area, I HAD to decorate it for the upcoming holiday. That, and my daughter insisted on it. So here is my Nature Inspired Valentine’s Day Display.

With the holiday just around the corner I’m joining Lory from Designthusiasm and several other bloggers and sharing our own take an Entertaining for Valentine’s Day. If you are coming from On Sutton Place , welcome! Head to the bottom of the post to see the full group.

Nature Inspired Valentine's Day Display

I love that Pantone’s color of the year is greenery! It’s the only ‘color’ I use around our house. I think it adds a freshness and natural look that you can’t get from anything else. I incorporated the color of the year by making hearts out of faux grass and succulents. Which then turned into a little display of modern rustic hearts.

Also! I have a new addition to this side of the room. I am so in love with my new chair for this space. It’s the perfect mix of rustic modern, sleek lines with expose nail trim and white washed wood. If you need a new accent chair, I definitely recommend this one!

To  continue with the nature inspired-look, I used some of my DIY Give Thanks Trees and switched out the branches for neutral ones, then hung a few wooden hearts on them. And what says nature better than a fresh apple pie and berries!

My displays always take a little different turn than I originally invasion, once I start working with materials and playing with things they take on something new. Maybe next time I’ll stick with the traditional colors, but for now, it was fun to put together a little bit on a non-traditional Valentine’s Day Display.

    Taryn, I love your natural decorations! Green is often the only color I use at home, in the form of plants. It’s great fun to be part of this Styled & Set Valentine Tour with you!

    I love your heart wall! It’s all very festive and I didn’t miss the traditional red one bit. I just got the same cup rack you have hanging by your shiplap. I can’t wait to get it up now that I’ve seen yours. I enjoyed sharing the day with you…Happy Valentine’s Day!

Well, I think I just added a new project to my lis Well, I think I just added a new project to my list! After many years of doing this job full time, my “office” has typically been the living room couch and the kitchen counter... but that isn’t really sustainable anymore (not a bad thing!), so my husband and I talked about turning his home office into a shared office space soon! Honestly, I don’t know why it took us so long to do this, maybe because it hasn’t really been as much of an issue until now, but I’ve got some ideas for my new office space in here! I won’t change a whole lot, but I think it’s going to be simple and perfect! Do you and your spouse share an office space?!

I was looking for either a modern artwork piece or mirror and I am in love with this one! It’s the perfect mix of simple and modern with subtle mid-century modern lines. I’m sharing more angles on the blog today with links.

Happy Friday! A few common questions that have com Happy Friday! A few common questions that have come up about the staircase gallery wall this week... 1) the wall color is called Rebel by Kilz 2) the print size is 16 x 20 and 3) I have two full blog posts dedicated to how I picked the prints and links to the frames and also another one on building out the wall. Hope that helps!

Would you believe this brick wall is just removabl Would you believe this brick wall is just removable wallpaper?! It’s simple things like this that can completely change a space. It’s great for rentals or apartments because it won’t ruin the walls when you take it down! I’ve used it in a few rooms of our home and I’m a big fan.

I’ve got bathrooms on my mind! Here is our kids’ shared jack-n-Jill bathroom that I did a few years back. I still love the design and so glad I went with a pop of blue in here! I’ve started the planning process for our other upstairs bathroom and went searching for tile today (see stories)! I am getting so excited for this project, I’ve been gathering tons of inspiration photos and I’ll share them this week!
