Valentine's Day Decor


Valentine's Day is just around the corner and I am already in full-on decorating mode!  Y'all know I love to decorate for each holiday/season and Valentine's day is no exception.  I started on the buffet table in our dining room with a few cute items I already had on hand and then made the LOVE/Arrow sign in the middle.


This is all it took to push me into decor making beast mode!  I got busy in the shop and came up with these cute items.  All are available for purchase at Crafts & More 558 Main Street in Grand Junction. 




Suit of Hearts Banners.  Not gonna lie I was singing the entire time I made these.  "Playing with queen of hearts... knowing it ain't really smart... the joker ain't the only fool..."  
Thanks a lot Juice Newton. haha.  The banners turned out really cute though!




Hanging valentine's decor.  Can be hung on a wreath hanger as I have them here or just on the wall.  



Cute little blocks full of love!

Please let me know what you think and if you have any custom Valentine's Day decor projects that I can help you complete.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Do you love home decor?  Do you enjoy DIY projects?  Do you love setting around sipping yummy drinks and chatting with friends?  If you said yes to any (or all!) of these questions then a DIY Sign Painting Party by Raspberry Hill may be just what you need.  

My next DIY sign painting party is LOVE themed since Valentine's Day is just around the corner (wasn't is Christmas like yesterday!?!).  These parties are so fun and so easy.  All you have to do is RSVP to me to reserve your spot, pay $20 at the event and pick which sign you want to paint.  I provide drinks, snacks and all the materials and supplies needed to complete the project.  Easy peasy!

These are the sign/stencil choices for the party:




After you decide which sign to make you then choose your paint/stain colors.  This allows you to make any of the 4 designs to match your current decor or personalize it with the favorite colors of the person you are making the sign for.  These signs make great gifts!

Man Cave Barnwood Wall

After working in the shop for several hours the hubby and I sat down on his couch for a short break.  He looked around at the lower section of walls and said that he wished he would have had the construction company complete the drywall when they erected the shop because now it will never get finished.  No time, no money, no know how, etc.  I said, "Why don't we do a pallet wall?"  He gave me one of those "honey have you hit your head or lost your mind?" looks.  I said, "No. Really.  It is easy to do and will look great.  We can use some of the tongue and groove boards from my pile of barn wood."  It took a little convincing but he went for it.  We started pulling wood from the pile, blowing off the snow, dirt, leaves and 100+ years worth of grime and pulled the nails that were left behind.  After only a few hours of work that night we had about 1/2 of the wall PL Premiumed, mounted, leveled, and nailed.


We went to bed for the night and finished up the rest of the wall the next morning.  We then did the small section of wall to the right of the man door too.  



Then we started hanging the man cave decor.  We started with a Chippewa Tires sign that I found in my grandmother's garage in Minnesota and that my awesome Uncle Jeff let me take home (about 8 years ago haha).  Then we added all of the framed Tool and Puscifer posters that my handy hubby has been collecting for years.  He then needed a shelf to hold his satellite DVR box- yes there is tv with satellite and DVR in the man cave.  He is spoiled.  I came up with the idea of an industrial type floating shelf made with pipe and pipe fittings.  A trip to the Home Depot (or was it Lowes? I can't remember) and we were set... except for the few fittings we forgot and the extra pipes we needed to make the shelf taller because the hubs changed his mind.  So... a second quick trip to the local Co-Op and then we were in business!  I stained 2 redwood pieces to make the shelves and the hubby assembled all of his pipe and fittings.  The next morning Caity and daddy mounted the shelf to the wall and set up the DVR box.  They made a few picture/poster re-arrangent adjustments and VOILA!  Man cave pallet wall complete!

 

If you have a wall that is lacking in drywall or that you just want to add a rustic look to this is a great option.  Contact me for information or a quote!
