Let’s Add Valentine Accents to Winter Decor

December 28, 2024 by Kimberly Snyder 3 Comments

Curious about how to add Valentine accents to your winter decor? Here are a few easy ideas to help you get started!

A Simple Valentine’s Day Centerpiece

By sharing a few ideas about how to add Valentine accents to Winter decor, I hope to show you ways to help you save time, money and storage space.  Transitioning from Christmas to Winter & Valentine’s Day is as easy as adding a few hearts or touches of Valentine colors such as red or pink.

Let’s Get Started

If you have been following me for a bit, you already know that I often keep an oval dough bowl on my gathering room coffee table.  I love to decorate it for the different seasons.  During the Christmas holidays, I moved it into our living room.

I believe this oval dough bowl is a reproduction but there are still many antique ones available.  Dough bowls used to be used when making bread.  The bowl was a great place for the bread to rise as the wood helped retain the heat which in turn helped the dough rise.  They are also sometimes referred to as trenchers. My oval one is 20 inches long.

The Elements

The focal point of the dough bowl display for both Christmas (Winter) and Valentine’s Day is a resin snowman named Pudge.  Pudge loves his new life in Punta Gorda,  FL!  He says he doesn’t miss the snow at all!

He is certain that if he still lived in the Illinois farmhouse, his front yard would look like this at least once during the winter!

back to the decorating…

Just like Pudge with his red scarf and hat, this small heart shaped wooden bowl will work perfectly in the display.  What says Valentine’s Day better than hearts?

Accenting the wooden bowl is a bow made out of Diamond Wire by Oasis. I simply cut off a piece of wire and formed it into a bow.  After the bow was finished, I just tucked it into the display.

To complete the transition to Valentine’s Day, all I did was add a little Valentine themed book to the end of the display!  I also added a pair of red hearts in a mercury glass vase.

Other Ways to Add Valentine Flair to Your Decor

Ribbon

I had this Valentine ribbon left over from a different project.  I used it to make a banner to accent an electric candle display.  I used little strips of Velcro to hold the printed ribbon to the solid ribbon.

I also used that same printed burlap ribbon to make bows for the trio of spindles.

More details about how I transitioned the spindles can be found here: Red, Rustic & Reclaimed for Valentine’s Day!

Let’s add some Pink!

Winter Wonderland Christmas sign

The entryway is one of my most challenging areas to decorate.  It is narrow and very hard to photograph.  The picture about is how I had the marble topped table decorated for the holidays one year.

For Valentine’s Day, I made a few simple changes. I added the Peace Love Joy sign, a heart plate, a piece of fabric and a Valentine’s Day gift bag.  The gold hurricane was raised up by using a piece of ironstone.  The rustic toolbox added height as well as texture to the display. More about this display can be found here: Peace- Love -Joy

One of my favorite ways to display that box is pictured below:

After Valentine’s Day, I used the Peace Love Joy sign in a spring garden style display.

    Love the “tulips” in the sugar mold! I have one of those, I think I’ll have to try something similar for Valentine’s Day!

I don’t talk about my faith a lot. I do believe I don’t talk about my faith a lot.  I do believe God puts certain people in your path for a reason.  An example of this occurred on Tuesday.  It was colonoscopy/sigmoidoscopy day.  I was really nervous about how it would all work since it was my first time since I had my cancer surgery. 

 The nurse that was taking care of me in the pre op area turned out to be the same nurse who had prayed for me last year. My husband was in the parking lot of the medical center speaking with his friend who happened to work at the center with this particular nurse. I was very sick at the time and they prayed for my healing.  It was great to be able to thank her in person and let her see that the prayers had been answered. ❤️

Then the anesthesiologist came in and told me about his cousin who had also been diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer about a year ago. He mentioned some of the treatments his cousin had had and how important a positive attitude is.  I was touched that he took the time to tell me about his cousin’s experience. 

 We had arranged in advance to have my husband’s friend as the nurse anesthesist.  He was able to pray with us as well as reassure us about the procedure.

The procedure went well. The three polyps that the surgeon removed were sent to pathology.  The report is already back and there no evidence of cancer.  Prayers were answered again❤️
