Save the Rose Decor
Roses are red, sunflowers are tall, why not save the rose decorations this fall? A rose is not just a rose for Valentine’s day, why not make it a year round tradition? After all, flowers look good no matter what the season. So don’t throw out those flowers just because February is over, hang on to them for as long as possible (and then throw them out when the wither away and die). Roses can be for every month in the year.
“O my Luve's like a red, red rose That's newly sprung in June; O my Luve's like the melodie That's sweetly play'd in tune. As fair art thou, my bonnie lass, So deep in luve am I: And I will luve thee still, my dear, Till a' the seas gang dry: Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear, And the rocks melt wi' the sun: I will luve thee still, my dear, While the sands o' life shall run. And fare thee well, my only Luve And fare thee well, a while! And I will come again, my Luve, Tho' it were ten thousand mile.” - Robert Burns
A Bedroom Chandelier
What could possibly be more sophisticated and stylish than your own personal bedroom chandelier? Certainly it’s helpful ambiance for those candlelit nights and romantic evenings, but it also holds a great deal of appeal for resale value. Add this beauty to your bedroom to get the most out of Valentine’s day and every other day.
So don’t just lock lips this Valentine’s day, keep a lock on those romantic home decor options as well. Romance isn’t fleeting, it’s everywhere, so make your home a representation of that. You’ll be thanking yourself for the rest of the year.
