Valentines Decorated Shelves
A celebration of red, white and pink! Gather your quilts and red and pink Valentines decorations for a colorful seasonal shelf display!
Valentines shelves are a fun and colorful way to display your items en masse. Visually, it's very appealing and you don't need to go out and buy hundreds of dollars worth of Valentines products. Use what you have and make what you don't! Keep reading for all my ideas.

We have this large set of built-in shelves in our living room. Over the
holidays, I
decorated the shelves with a gingerbread theme. That post was so popular that I decided on a Valentines theme by reusing
some of my Christmas decor. You can see more details on repurposing Christmas
decor for Valentines in
THIS
post.
But here's the thing...I don't have much Valentines decor. My Valentines decor
is made up of smaller items I've made.
So how do you decorate shelves, or a cabinet, for Valentines?
You shop your house! The trick for me was using quilts, some larger wood
display pieces, DIYs and the cutest retro inspired Valentines Day cards I
found on Amazon for less than $6 for a set! I clipped the Valentines to a
piece of ribbon with mini clothespins.
I don't own any Valentines day quilts, but I do have a couple red and white quilts. One is a vintage cross stitch quilt I found on Etsy, and one is a red check lap quilt that reverses to a Christmas scene ( this one is currently on huge after Christmas clearance, only $30)!
The quilt you see with the pink checks and red flower is a cutter quilt I
thrifted for only $5! There's only one red flower, so I folded the quilt with
that side facing out.
I also had a vintage white chenille bedspread that I thrifted this year for
super cheap. That made good filler between two more colorful quilts. The
stacked quilts filled up shelf space while adding Valentines Day color.
Two large baskets fill the top two shelves and are great for storing out of
season items.
The two wood pieces were both thrifted. I painted the plate rack white, and it
holds some thrifted
red vintage transferware
dishes and smaller ironstone plates.
The little red and pink wood hearts were gifted to me from Valery Madelyn, you
can shop them
here on
Amazon.
The tall wood shelf holds some smaller ironstone pieces (I love ironstone all
year!), as well as the cutest vintage
DIY Valentines Day bottle brush trees
I made. I added my black check
Mackenzie-Childs pitcher and love how the black grounds the rest of the decor.
During recent chilly evenings, I've worked on several easy embroidery hearts.
Once you master the basic stitches, all you need to create beautiful heart
decor is some felt and
DMC floss! I took Home Ec in the 8th grade, and it was amazing how all the instruction
came back to me lol!
If you want to make something similar but need more instruction, here are some
wonderful directions you can purchase:
These colorful, whimsical Valentines shelves have filled that need for some
cheer after the Christmas decor was packed away.
