Frosted Roses

Now that the Christmas decor is put away, I couldn't decide whether to put  a winter vignette on the coffee table or go right on into Valentine decor.  

The Valentine decor won out!

 For the centerpiece, I put roses in the glass milk bottles that are in my vintage metal milk bottle carrier.    When the kids were babies, we got milk delivered to the house in carriers like this one.....a simpler time...

I thought the sweet "couple" of Staffordshire dogs would add to the romantic mood....a lit candle....some candy in the pink milk glass dishes.... 

I love to use pastel colors for my Valentine decor, but I also have been known to use red!
I did add a touch of winter with these frosted white roses.   They are so beautiful with the thick glittery coating of "frost" on them!





I'm probably a little early with my Valentine decor...is anyone else decorating?

  1. Hi Penney...I wanted to comment on your beautiful pink decor, when I see this, it just tugs at my heart strings! I truely would love to have this in my home, but I have to much red going on. I can't just get rid of things and start over! But at least I can admire yours! I'm a new blogger and have still so much to learn! Hopefully I can get good at it soon! Have a blessed day!

  5. It is so lovely and romantic! I will not do Valentine decor but enjoy yours. Being alone and single now, Valentines day does not seem important any more to me. But I enjoy seeing love in others lives.

  6. Penny,
    So cute!! It will be awhile before I get my V Day decor out because I am still taking down Christmas and don't expect to get it finished until next weekend. If only I didn't have to work , I would have it all down by now...

    Hugs,
    Deb

  7. What a beautiful vignette. I love coming to your house to see what your ever changing décor. Where does one get "frosted" roses? I don't decorate for Valentine's Day myself, but I do enjoy seeing others' decorations.

  8. Whata lovely arrangement. I don't usually do any decorating for Valentine's, but you have inspired me to seek out some valentiney things for our formal lounge's mantlepiece that's still bare after the Christmas decorations were put away. Thanks for sharing♡

  9. How lovely - I always find the house looks bare and empty when the Christmas decorations have gone away, but this is a fab idea - I shall be looking out some valentine stuff to pretty the place up - thanks for sharing!

  11. I love the bird pillow on the couch. I see you have moved the couch. I love it when people change up their rooms!

  12. It's the middle of January and I think it's a great time to decorate for Valentine's Day. Love the doggies! Thanks for sharing at my HOME, Penny.

    Blessings,

  13. I am late commenting on this post..but your coffee table is exactly what I needed to see. For some reason I have trouble decorating coffee tables. I can't figure out why. I don't think you are one bit early in decorating for Valentines. The time is whizzing by and I think that it's perfect timing. By the time you are all decorated...Valentines Day will be here...and then gone! Can't wait to see it all! (terrible of me to be late and you may never read this..but...I loved this post..coffee tables are my main interest. AND my weak point in decorating.

  14. I'm still putting away Christmas, and I'm thinking about white... Lovely post!

  15. Hi Penny, Love your coffee table vignette, those doggies are pretty and sweet. I haven't started Valentines decorating yet. I'd better get on it! Thanks so much for sharing both your posts at my History & Home Link Party. The next party starts Tuesday morning. Take care - Dawn @ We Call It Junkin.com
