Sweet Additions — Our Simple Valentine’s Mantel

February 6, 2018 by Fotini Filed Under: home decor

Despite the cliche of Valentine’s Day, I love decorating for the widely celebrated holiday! Today I’m sharing with you the sweet additions, our simple Valentine’s mantel. I’m not sure whether it’s the bits of pink and feminine designs that make it so fun, or just the “out of the norm” for me… but I love it!

Now, by no means do I go all out for decorating for the holiday. I just enjoy adding in bits of pink and fun textures that I may not usually use. As always, I stick to my natural obsession of neutrals. Lately though, I have been intrigued by gold! Adding it into my designs gives it a more traditional tone. I know with gold, you either love it or hate it. Had you asked me awhile ago, I would of hated it. It seems to be growing on me though. How do you feel about gold?

January 25, 2016 by Fotini Filed Under: printable, Valentine's printable 2 Comments

Friends, believe it or not, Valentine’s Day is right around the corner! I have created a simple, sweet printable to share with you today! If I may take a moment, I’m going to share something a little personal with you all. A couple days before the new year (2016) my husband approached me, telling me he wants a separation. I was (and still am) absolutely devastated. However, I am not going to let this drag me down. I am relying steadily on my faith in God and I know that he will carry me through this difficult time. We have two children together, so I must stay strong for them! The outpouring of support from friends and family has been so comforting and very much appreciated during this time.

Hi friends! I can’t believe we are already three weeks into the new year. Time is flying and I feel like I haven’t gotten much done around the house. I did push myself to put away my Winter tablescape and start with something fresh! I opted for a sweet shabby, vintage-inspired centerpiece, which is what I’m sharing with you all today!

Heart- Shaped, Pomegranate Ice Cubes

January 23, 2013 by Fotini Filed Under: fruit filled ice cubes, pomegranate, Target, Valentines 24 Comments

Looking for a fun, easy pick-me-up to liven up your water? How about these adorable pomegranate, heart-shaped ice cubes! These are so simple to make and the technique can be used for many occasions!

I found my silicon heart- shaped tray at the Target dollar corner, 2 for $1. And, I don’t think I had ever touched a pomegranate in my life, so I was looking forward to trying them… They’re such a beautiful fruit!

Cut open your pomegranate and take out all the seeds. Fill your trays with water, drop your pomegranate seeds into the water ( I filled them up!), and place in the freezer. Allow enough time for the water to freeze, and pop ice out of the trays and add to a cold glass of water or spritzer!

Voila, how adorable is that?!

Cute Valentines Banner

January 8, 2013 by Fotini Filed Under: banner, book page banner, crafting, diy, DIY crafts, Valentines, valentines banner

Are you looking for a cute, simple banner to make for Valentines Day? I’ve got just what you’re looking for!

Create this cute little banner in just a few simple steps… Here’s what you’ll need!

  • 4 book pages
  • 8 paper hearts
  • twine
  • glue gun, glue
  • scissors
I found these super cute flat paper cards at the Target dollar corner, you guessed it, for $1! Perfect for this banner! Start by cutting your book pages close to the wording on the sides, fold the page in half and cut into two pieces. With your heated glue gun, glue the paper hearts onto your book pages and let dry. Turn your pages over and place four glue dots on the top of the page and push your twine into place. Leave about two inches between each book page. Ta-da, now you have a super cute banner to display! After my Fall Banner and Christmas Banner, I felt my mantle looked so bare with nothing on it, so I adore this 🙂
