I couldn't wait one more day. Today I busted out the Valentine's Day decorations. I tried really hard to wait until the end of January but I just couldn't do it. There are so many cute ideas out in blogland and I was itching to decorate.
I usually just decorate my console table in the family room . . . but this time I decided to decorate the hall shelf too.
I love turquoise and red together!
I found the set of 3 white vases at the Target Dollar Spot - I think they were $2.50. The burlap heart is from JoAnn's (last year on clearance). Everything else I already had.
Here is my console table all decked out . . .

I might have done a happy dance in Target when I saw the turquoise mailboxes! : )
The only thing I purchased besides the mailboxes were the felt hearts. I found them at the Dollar Store and they were picks but I cut the stems off. I reused one of the Family Dollar candles and just added some polka dot ribbon. (I always tape the ribbon on the back so it can be reused).
Remember that you can have really cute decorations without breaking the bank. The Dollar Store is a great place to find inexpensive items. I also check out the clearance section at Target and craft stores to get things super cheap.

You are too stinking creative, love your shelf and how you decorate for the different seasons. I didn't see those little vases at Target, but maybe I'll have to go back because they are cute. I bought one of those mailboxes for my daughter for her American girls......

I also love the turquoise and red together. Great looking console table. Your right we do not have to spend a lot of money. I rarely shop at Target, but I'll have to check out the dollar spot, so many great finds there. You sure were lucky finding the turquoise mailbox.

I also love red and turquoise together! How cute is all of your decor. Don't you just love the Target dollar spot? Such a fun and cheap place to find great decor!
ReplyDeleteThat looks fabulous! I have one of those Target mail boxes from last year that I haven't used yet. Now to find a candlestick... Love the turquoise so much - may have to head to Target for that one, too. My one from last year is hot pink. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteSO cute!! Red and turquoise are one of my favorite color combos! My Target only had the mailboxes in white {I bought three and hope to have my mantel linked up at A to Z, where I found your blog, soon!} I'm your newest follower- I'd love for you to stop by my blog and follow me back if you'd like.
