Guest Blogger: Romantic Interiors

To change it up a bit, I've invited Regina of Acute Designs to be a Guest Blogger for today.  I stumbled upon her blog a few months ago and was captivated by her flair  or creativity.  Her passion for writing, cooking, and creating handmade accessories shines through each one of her posts!  With her accessory business and creative freelance writing, she's a busy woman, and I appreciate her stopping over today...

Romantic Interiors, by Regina Morrison of Acute Designs

When you are a small business owner who sells for a living, you are always focused on the next holiday or season.  I own a small handmade accessories business and my current focus is on Valentine’s Day.

I love Valentine’s Day.  Yes, you heard me.  Right now you are likely thinking, “who in their right mind loves Valentine’s Day?!”  Well, I do, but not for the conventional reasons.

I am not a fan of cheap chocolates or red roses.  I refuse to go out to dinner with my husband just because it’s Valentine’s Day.  I am not a mushy romantic type {I am pretty much the exact opposite of a mushy romantic type}, but Valentine’s Day has always struck a chord with me.  I think it has to do with the decorations.  I love the pink and red hearts, the doilies, the soft colors, the cupid, and a Victorian valentine gets me every. time.

These rooms remind me why I love Valentine’s Day.  I love the soft colors and the inviting furniture against a raw wood or stone wall.  The contrast is amazingly beautiful.  Ideally, I want to mash all these rooms together, create a house, and then live in it.  Now that would beat a heart-shaped box of chocolates any day.

Thank you again, Regina, for the great post!

     The thoughts of Valentine's Decor is already brewing in my head.   

How do you spend Valentine's Day?  Are you a hopeless {ROMANTIC}?  

Or do you wish to just skip right over the Holiday?
