Finally ~ A Goodwill Goodie Finish Friday!

FINALLY ~ a finished makeover!  This winter has just zapped all my motivation to do ANY makeovers.  With Valentine's Day right around the corner, I pulled out my decorations and discovered just how few I have.  I had planned to cover the heart with a rusty star, but decided that this box is a perfect Valentine's fit.

Here's the before ~


And the Result ~


Here it is displayed on the mantle ~




I still haven't decided if I want to keep it black or put a coat of red or burgundy over it.  The black makes whatever I sit on it really pop, so for now it's staying black.  This is really all I have for Valentine's Day decorations.  Perhaps I will start keeping an eye open for a few "heart" items at Goodwill that need a good "updating" ~ LOL!

How about all of you?  Do you decorate lots for Valentine's Day?

    I think I posted about this a while back....I have 3....THREE....items for Valentines day. Not 3 boxes....just 3 items. lol. I've been busy crafting, though, so I have added a few since that post.....I may be up to 5 now. Perhaps a Hobby Lobby run on February 15th?? Should be 1/2 off by then.....The mantel looks great!

    Hi Michele, I have Dollar store roses in a vase on the dining room table with some baby's breath and some pink beaded glass hearts from Jo-Ann's a couple of years ago. Heart garland in the doorway of the dining room/living room and anything red leftover from Christmas. Poinsettas, candles...Wait for the sales next Tues and you'll be ready for next year. lol!!!!
