Here is an expanded view of the buffet it sits on. The mahogany finish represents a compromise between my husband and I. He's not a huge fan of painted furniture, and I don't care much for wood finishes other than mahogany. But we both loved the lines of this contemporary piece, as well as the silver details, when we got it 5 years ago.
Since I like to re-decorate seasonally (ok - sometimes more often), there were 2 screws in the wall above the buffet from previous artwork. I've relocated the gorgeous vintage white mirror to this spot (and love it here), but am left with these 2 eyesores. For the time being, I decided to hang a Valentine themed banner. Decor inspired by ... procrastination!
Hope you all enjoy your Valentine's Day with loved ones!

Love all your romantic Valentine touches! It's not OTT at all! The pink flowers were gorgeous!
Truly romantic! Those pink hydrangeas are gorgeous.
Very pretty. The silver hardware on that piece really makes it special--you don't often see that color on mahogany. Your flowers and garland are sweet too!

It's all just beautiful my friend..Love your banner did you made it...Hugs and smiles Gl♥ria
I have to chuckle at your "compromising." I've always been a bit terrified about my future husband not liking my style and I'm pretty anal about how I want things.... but I will say that my current boyfriend does like my style so....whew! ;-)
I love those pink hydrangeas- what amazing color! I'm craving pink right now....must be spring, or Valentine's day??

Gorgeous photos! I am learning to grab the camera on those "rare" but lovely days that the sun comes through the windows and provides such wonderful natural lighting!
Best Wishes and Blessings,
Amanda

Your vignette is gorgeous! The pink hydrangeas are so delicious I can see why you had to buy them. Cute little vintage banner too.
Goodness how lovely!!
The banner, the flowers...everything!
So romantic and beautiful! I love the softness of your decor and photos. Just found your lovely blog via My Romantic Home. I'm your newest follower and would be delighted to have you follow me back!

What a pretty vignette! I love your banner, how fun! And the mirror and hydrangeas are just gorgeous. Isn't it funny how men don't like painted wood, and us women just love to paint it all?! At least I would like to!!
Oh how beautiful! I am visiting via the Valentine linky.
I wanted to invite you to the two linky parties I am planning. The first will be on February 23~ High Tea Tablescapes. Details can be found on my Wednesday posts. There will be PRIZES!
Happy Valentine's Day!
Hi Susan - I love all the details you've put into your Valentine vignette. I especially love the pink hydrangeas of course, and that heart banner. Happy love day!
