Hi friends! Hope you had a fabulous weekend! I sure did! I wanted to show you all my progress on my valentine’s decor! I posted a picture of this on my Instagram and couldn’t believe the sweet comments! Just about everything on the shelf was a DIY craft project.
I took a 2’x2′ piece of plywood from the basement and gave it a good coat of white paint. Then I traced the chevron pattern on the wood and hand painted the pink stripes. My sweet hubby helped me paint the stripes so it went pretty quickly; then, I just hung my thrift store wreath right up there.

| Sorry the photo is a bit fuzzy 🙁 |
Our spring banner and Savannah’s Valentine’s banner (which she’ll show you later!) were my inspiration for my “Be Mine” banner. I’m not gonna lie, I LOVE IT SO MUCH!
I used my great grandmother’s pair of her broken vintage earrings on each end of the banner giving it some sentimental value.
I combined all of my favorite fabrics and trims to come up with a feminine and unique banner! You can’t go wrong combining chevron, burlap, lace, ruffles, glitter, rhinestones, pearls, yarn, webbing and doilies! Seriously all of my favorite things!

January 23, 2012 at 7:06 amSo pretty! I love the chevron back drop – so sweet that your hubby helped you paint it. Mine is very supportive of what I do as long as he doesn’t have to do anything! 🙂
