I don't decorate for Valentine's Day, but I do like to style a quick,
Valentine vignette on my coffee table using all of my red books.
I thought a simple looking heart-shaped gold paperweight would be a pretty addition.
I headed to the Dollar Tree in search of the perfect heart to diy with my favorite
Rustoleum Metallic Brass spray paint.
Ta da...
I always like having a little treat set out, I'm not much of a chocoholic,
but Jelly Hearts, Hot Tamales, Caramels, Taffy....I can't resist!
I've had these books for years, you've seen them in our bookcase styled for Christmas here.
The one on top in the back is titled, The Horrors of Love, ha! It's old, worn and the perfect
color. I remember finding it at a garage sale, one of my favorite places to buy books, they'll
practically give them away.
The plastic gem from the $ Store before being transformed into a gold paperweight!
The three Sweet Tarts were a bonus. The other small heart I happened to
find in a 'Valentine' box, you could still see the outline of, 'SMILE,' so I turned it over.
I also did a quick spray of clear gloss for a little shine.
Super simple, super quick and super inexpensive!

Yu are such a good spray painter, never a drip!
I crave Hot Tamales after Mexican food, caramels are my all time favorite. I just love chewy candy. Also love black licorice!
Cute vignette! I am a sucker for candy corn at Halloween!! xo
How cute Pam!
You are a good spray painter! It's been 9 degrees here in the Northeast so no spraying going on.. Just huddling on the couch under blankets:)
I agree, you are a pro spraypainter. I never have mastered it. I'm not sure if I will allow myself to buy anymore Valentines Candy- I just went through a bag of the sweet tart candy hearts!
That is just an adorable gold heart! You may have inspired me to make these to fill with candy for my valentine's.
That is a very cute DIY, I may have to head to the Dollar Store soon!! I love Valentine candy..especially the conversation hearts and sweet tarts.
Oh what a great idea...love your table...so festive, yet classic!
Perfect styling! Did you know that you are also ready for Chinese New Year which starts on Feb. 10? Red and gold are Chinese symbols of good luck! Happy New Year!
Pretty Valentines vignette! I love how you've used the red books.
Very clever and festive! See, you're getting lots of use out of that gold mesh. My favorites...York peppermint patties, Hershey's Special Dark, Peanut M&Ms, and Life Savers. Oh, and Maple Nut Goodies. :)
Again such clever ideas! I love Simple Details!
I'm like you Pam.. not a really big decorator for VD however your coffee table looks very festive:) Your books are perfect are the gold heart is just the right touch!
That is awesome! Totally going to look for some of those!
I love the small touches you have added for the day.
I don't think I have ever "decorated" for Valentine's Day. If I remember to buy and MAIL the cards I should, I'm in good shape!
Love all the red! Great idea to decorate with books. I don't do much decorating for VD anymore but I do small touches. Red is my favorite color so it's easy. Love the idea of painting the heart ~ looks awesome!
Pat
seriously, why can't i think of things like this! thanks for the great inspiration!
Love the gold heart! I've been trying to look at all the 'junk' at the dollar store and imagine it with a coat of paint :)
Love the tres classy V-day decor.
PS-You made me want candy!!
Even if you do not really decorate for Valentine's day you have done a great job styling here, Pam!
Oh my gosh, that looks like a really pretty/expensive item. :)
Lovely idea!
What a great idea!
OH MY GOODNESS!!! These numbers just took me back to my childhood in Cuba. They look just like the numbers we had on our houses.
Thanks for my mini trip down memory lane. :)
We really enjoyed and benefited from your article. Thanks and more power!
