My Valentine Decor and a tour of my living room!

Here is finally a tour of my house all put together for Valentine's Day! (Yes its this Thursday)
Welcome to my home.
This is the view of my teapot collection (the drawers are my secret candle addiction)
When you walk in to my home this is what you see. My collection and some hidden 3's! I love to showcase something I love and add it to my decor. It gives that personal touch to a home.
 
I apologize for the blurry picture
 
This table was an old table we painted and the lamp I got at Goodwill for $3 and spray painted it. I gave it a new shade and it works good as new! My Grammy had the same one in her home I saw this Christmas and when I went last weekend her husband gave it to me so I could have a pair and remember her. So I am painting it soon so I have one on the other table.
 
Our entertainment center
 
Eventually we will have a 42" TV its just not here yet.
 

above the TV (sorry for the glare)

This is Matt's contribution to the decor. Baseball (actually there are little baseball details everywhere). I actually do a lot of baseball decorating in Spring. I host an opening day party every year. The baseballs on the shelf our Matt's actual home run ball and grand slam.

 
The pillow is one my mom made us. Its a tree with a heart and our names.
I hope to one day reupholster the desk!
 
 
This is our not at all glamorous couch! (one day we will buy a new one) One amazing decor tip I have learned, pillows! The pillows on the couch my mother in law made with zippers in them so I just change out the cover. Also super easy to wash!!! Since both sides of the fireplace are benches I have pillows on those to.
 
 
 
Depending on the holiday I love to mix up accessories! Change out pictures or just put away a few things and I put out different things. It keeps it less boring.
I love this metal frame! I hot glued magnets to old scrabble tiles and added my own personal touch!
Pre Valentine's day decor
This is our picture wall I decided I had to have one after I bought this sign with the quote "When you get there, Remember where you came from," I had to have it!!! It reminds me no matter where are families are or where we decided to plant our roots we have these people in our lives who have helped us! The pictures are all really special moments and people in our lives. Its our GRATEFUL wall!
Dining Table with the Valentine's day decor
 
 
The entry to my HUGE kitchen
 
I now have 2 new Valentine aprons! Even though my kitchen is tiny I love to decorate it!!!
A teapot that is a candle warmer!!! Had to have for my collection!!!
 
One of my FAV Christmas presents! This line of 50's housewives is my favorite! My dad always gets me their cards and this year he got me the calendar! In love!!

 
This was my tour of my Valentine's day decor! Thanks for visiting!
