The dining room did indeed get a new coat of paint under the chair-rail (as I hinted at in my last post). I used a mix of leftover paint, and am happy with the soft gray-ish result.
It contrasts better with the dark mahogany pieces. I'll show more of the wall later, but today I'm sharing all the little Valentine touches before the holiday has come & gone.

And of course I had to display our St. Therese figure amongst all these roses.
Humble and lovely...

Fun with papers & boxes, and another lavender heart sachet:

Your rose vases and my rose teapot would be a great Valentine match! I like your idea of the long shelf on the top of the cabinet. Happy Valentine's Day to you!♥♫
