Welcome to the first Pinterest Challenge post of 2022!!! We are so honored
to get to share our creative ideas with you once a month, and we have the

is to put our own spin on it. This is a great way to see how creative minds
think because no two are alike! This month is a Valentines theme and you'll
have a chance to see all the great ideas below.

Let's take a look at the Inspiration Image and then I'll show you my take on
it. It comes from Birgit at
Crafting While I Wait.
Sometimes I'll go shopping to find a piece or two that helps me pull together
my own look for these challenges, but this month I challenged myself to use
only what I already owned and I'm so happy with the direction it took.
These are the elements I took away from the inspiration image:
- vintage vibe
- the color red
- buttons
- glass cloche and jars
Let me show you how I decorated with these items to add a vintage Valentines
vibe in my front room.
Ideas for Vintage Valentines Day Decor
Valentines vintage decor with buttons, glass cloche, jars and red accents
I have lots of thrifted vintage items that I don't decorate with much but I
can't bear to get rid of them because I do love them. One of these is a set of
vintage glass spice jars that I found at the thrift store years ago. You can
click here to see how I remade a vintage spice rack to hold my buttons, sorted by color, in my office when we lived in our previous home in
Tennessee.
I added a few of the little glass spice jars (find similar
here and
here) filled with white buttons to my pine hutch. One is tipped over, spilling
its contents, another is added inside a small glass cloche with a transferware
saucer as a base. The red saucer and vintage style key gives a nod to
Valentines but in a subtle way.
SHOP CLOCHES
Mixing a little new with the vintage, I have a few vintage looking keys as
well as some
DIY clay hearts, decoupaged hearts and
Sola wood flowers. I kept out the shabby gold heart ornaments that I used on my
green and gold Christmas tree
in my dining room this year and they work beautifully in this vintage
Valentines cabinet.
I brought in my rusty vintage scale and added a
red transferware tea cup
to the top and a glass spice jar of pearl beads next to it. See the DIY clay
heart at the bottom? You don't need to shop the seasonal aisle to decorate for
Valentines Day! Just a touch of red or pink, anything heart shaped and you're
there! I get more bang out of my decorating buck by using items I already own
to decorate for the seasons without it feeling overly commercial.
On the little dresser next to the hutch, I continued the vintage Valentine
decor theme with another cloche.
I added a
vintage red Bingo card
and a ticket inside my larger glass cloche. This one is meant to hold a clock,
but I bought it for a song at a clock store that was closing. To elevate the
Bingo card, I inserted an
ironstone pudding cup
upside down, and topped that with a vintage flower frog (see similar
here). The cards were easy to tuck into the spiky parts of the metal frog and
stand upright.
It doesn't get much simpler than that! I also made this vintage inspired red
wood Valentine and I'll be sharing the quick tutorial later in the week.
I filled the old metal urn I recently found thrifting with some
decorative cotton balls, a pink ribbon, pinecones and a string of pearls (it's intended use is a
Christmas garland). This little vignette feels woodsy and wintery and the
pearls and tarnished urn continues the vintage vibe.
