Valentine Cafe Shelves
It’s a great time of year, isn’t it? The year is still young, love is in the air, & spring is on its way–even if the groundhog did see his shadow. We’ve been spoiled with a very mild winter, so far, here in Tennessee, and the 60 degree temperatures have me dreaming of spring.
I guess that’s what inspired me to style my cafe shelves with a sort-of Valentine Garden theme this year.
I already told you about my LOVE topiaries, and I figured while I was covering things with moss, I really could go for a Moss Heart. So, I took a gold frame I recently found while thrifting, and inserted a piece of board cut to size & covered with some black & white fabric I had (leftover from this project & this project). Then I cut a piece of cardboard into the shape of a heart, and just hot-glued on the moss. (I’m telling you, nothing is safe in this house–you never know what I’ll glue moss to next.) To give the heart a little depth, I just wrapped a little extra moss around the back along the edge.
To get some red in the mix, I used these faux roses I had in my flower stash. A few buds scattered throughout helped to spread the red around.
And, of course, a few kisses…
I also borrowed my Front Door Chalkboard to spell out a message…
Are you in the mood for Love {decor} in your house yet? Hope this inspires you! More Valentine goodness coming soon.
Linking up with a few of these friends.

Oh Julie, you are amazing. I would love to do something for valentine's too. Time is short around here though,, so it would have to be something very small! Yours is so cute and an inspiration! God bless x

Love your cafe' shelves! I've hesitated in doing any "Valentines" decorating, because I don't like things that look chessy. But I'm inspired by your shelves – you've given me a vision! I'm following your blog, would love it if you'd follow mine too: http://asundayafternoon.com/ Thanks:) HUGS
