I decided to leave my lighted white Christmas tree up…maybe all year…and change its decor to compliment the current holiday and/or season! We enjoy its ambient glow in the evening and it adds a festive feeling to our home.
For its Valentine decor I draped soft pink feathered boas all round and hung white crocheted 6-inch heart doilies trimmed with a dark pink satin ribbon bow. I ordered the heart doilies on Amazon. When I received the doilies I placed them flat on a plastic cover and spray starched each one so they would hang more stiffly on the tree instead of flopping over. Little white ceramic cherub ornaments, each holding a musical instrument, fill in between the heart doilies. I found the cherubs through various vendors on eBay. The tree is topped with pink ostrich plumes.
The fireplace also is decked out in Valentine decor! Ruby red sherbet glasses bring a sparkle to the mantle as well as the tiered glass candle holders. A long white crocheted runner softens the mantle shelf and adds texture. Red, pink and white crocheted hearts of various sizes are sprinkled in between the candle holders and sherbet glasses. The red and white square quilt covers the fireplace door providing a festive backdrop to the other decorative items in front of it.
Do you see Soapy? As I am taking pictures, I am holding him in one hand and the camera in another. He compliments the picture with his red sweater!
Wow, that is really lovely. I love the tree and I love the fireplace. Itjust looks so beautiful. The quilted pieces in front of the fireplace are really pretty and fun… thanks for sharing.. Happy Valentine’s Day.🥰
