Decorating for Valentine’s Day

Do you decorate for Valentine’s Day? It’s okay, I do too. However, decorating for Valentine’s Day unlike Christmas or even Halloween, is more subtle. I keep it simple and don’t overdo it.

Today I’ve teamed up with the super creative folks at Minted to create a festive, yet fresh tablescape for cupid’s favorite holiday. As you’ll see – it’s not all about hearts & arrows – I’ve mixed in some none traditional prints such as the partridge table runner and modern stitch napkins to the mix – these patterns could be used year around which is a win-win. I also included red roses for a traditional touch and a double fudge chocolate cake for something sweet – a Valentine must! The bay window was the perfect place for garland & bunting to deliver a special “love you” message to family and friends.

Now… can we just talk about how darn cute the Minted classroom Valentines for kids are?

My kids selected “You’re a llama fun!” and “I like the way you roll” Valentines for their friends. So cute and I love that they are personalized. Here are a few more Valentine favorites for the kiddos from Minted:

“I love you to the moon and back”. It’s a saying that’s used a lot in my house and so when I spot moons in home decor, it always makes me smile. I particularly have been drawn to the moon phase photographs at Restoration Hardware. They would look amazing in just about any space!

To celebrate my love for the moon in all it’s phases (and recent lunar eclipse), I’ve rounded up a few favorites!

Confetti Toss: New Blog Reveal

Drum roll please. For the past several weeks I’ve been working with the creative team at CooperHouse to redesign the blog site. The biggest change you may not even see … but the blog is now on WordPress (love!). The new platform provides cool navigation features which will allow you to find articles more easily. One item that has been removed is Google Friend Connect (Google won’t be supporting it much longer and it’s rumored to be unreliable in the future). But no worries, there are lots of ways to receive posts from Simplified Bee including  feedburnerbloglovin‘ or email (see form in the right sidebar). Simplified Bee publishes blog articles typically three days a week, so it shouldn’t overload your email.

If you’d like to connect more often, you are also welcome to follow the things that inspire me on a daily basis via Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, Google+ and now Instagram (a really fun, addicting site for browsing and managing photos). This pretty picture below was taken on a recent trip to the San Francisco Flower Mart and stored on Instagram.

In celebration of the new site, I’m tossing a little gold confetti …
