I like to decorate for all the holidays throuhtout the year and i try to transition slowly between each. After Christmas i put away all the decorations that are specifically Christmas, but i leave out winter things like, snow flakes, snowmen etc. I also leave out some red candles, votive holders etc. On my table i have a red snowflake runner so it fits in well, as well as a snow flake globe and an iron candleabra. The begining of February I start adding some pink candles here and there, candy dish with hearts, some pink heart shaped votives and little valentines decorations I've slowly collected. A heart shaped rose wreath on the door from the craft store. I am trying to make some of my own holiday doecorations, so this year i've been working on a garland made of felt heats, when finished they will drape over my mirror in the living room. I also add pink towels in the bathroom, and hang different sizes of heart cookie cutters in the kitchen window. Towards the end of february i will put away all the snowflakes, hearts and reds and leave out the pink candles and slowly transition to spring items. Hope this has been helpful!
