Currently here at Welch House we have a gigantic mess in the dining room. I am stripping wall paper in there and repainting the walls. Its definitely taking longer than anticipated. I decided move our dining room table into the front parlor while the dining room gets its makeover.

Lets take a peek...

I am pleasantly surprised at how pretty the table looks in front of the fireplace.

For a romantic setting candles of all types are a MUST. This year I also branched out a bit and purchased some light pink tapers. The pink vintage looking tea light holders are new this year are well.

When it comes to table settings, I usually don't do anything fancy. I would like to work more on that this year, but simple is pretty too. Everything on my table has been found thrifting, with the exception of the tablecloth.

I purchased this beautiful hand embroidered panel from France. The story behind it was beautiful. The panel was a gift to a bride in the 1930's and was cherished by her throughout her life. She kept it wrapped in tissue in her hope chest and then it went to a friend after her death and now to me. I thought It would be beautiful on my valentines table.

I love love love vintage valentines boxes and I snatch them up whenever I come across them, especially if they are in pastel colors. I also love vintage valentines cards, this particular one belonged to my Grandparents.

I love fresh roses and my husband actually surprised me with this bouquet for my birthday! The roses were so perfect and delicate.

I loaded the mantel with votives and brass candlestick holders to create a romantic ambience.

A close up so you can see the details a bit better.

I love how the certificate is in soft pretty Shabby Chic style colors.

I hope you enjoyed my simple vintage Valentines decor! Thank you for visiting!
