The kitchen is always described as the heart of a home. Very true I think! So when contemplating the upcoming Valentine’s Day holiday, this seems like the obvious place to add a little holiday decor! A kitchen full of love so to speak!
If you have been following the blog, then you know I consider my tiered trays to be among my most essential decorating tools. With very little effort, it always becomes a holiday favorite. The possibilities are endless! I put mine together a few different ways to show you just how easy it is.
Farmhouse Valentine Tiered Tray
I started my tray with several adorable signs I found around town this year. Things have opened up quite a bit here so I ventured out to my favorite craft stores. Since my kitchen has a buffalo checked theme throughout, I decided to go that route with my first tray.
It may be that I am just sooo ready for things to green up this year, but I felt a little bit of greenery was needed for this tray. Signs, hearts and a gnome add to the farmhouse feel.
I wanted to keep this display on the island and thought it needed a few more elements to complete the picture.
The printable in the middle can be found in the Printable Library. Putting it into a frame without glass allowed me to add the moss and heart to give it a dimensional feel. I kept the scale and simply added some checked hearts and a candle to bring it into the holiday.
Romantic Tiered Tray
Farmhouse decor is not for everyone. While popular in the farmhouse setting, a tiered tray can be used with any decorating style. I decided to put this one together with a little more of a romantic feel.
Although this tray can add so much to the kitchen full of love theme, it isn’t glued to the room. With the right accents around it, it is fancy enough to go just about anywhere.
Lovely Table for Two
Our restaurants are once again open in a limited capacity, however, we have already made the decision to stay home this year for Valentine’s Day. We are so close to being in line for the vaccine so we are doing our best to avoid a lot of public contact. These days we are doing our shopping at odd times when the stores are less busy and we eat at home a lot more. We still visit our favorite restaurants but mostly to pick up take out. Assuming that will be our plan for Valentine’s Day, I decided a pretty tablescape will be in order.
The dining room is simply too large for an intimate dinner for the two of us. My kitchen full of love will do just fine. A few little touches here and there and it will be perfect for the one I love!
A pink and red theme using white heart chargers, red dinner plates, and pink napkins provide a simple classic look. I tied the silverware together with red heart ribbon and added a tiny rose. Knowing how much my husband loves the signs I use all year– not (see: Signs of the Season), I couldn’t resist adding a few here! I purchased the wine glasses from a craft fair last year. Hand-painted tulips in red and pink perfectly round out my Lovely Valentine’s Table for Two!
I will enjoy my kitchen full of love from now through the Valentine’s Day holiday. After that…who knows! Depending on the weather, I might be tempted to bring in some spring!

Thanks so much Patti! Glad you stopped by. Have a wonderful week.
Denise, your kitchen looks so pretty and welcoming and absolutely perfect for the season of love.
Thank you for sharing it at Create, Bake, Grow and Gather this week. I’m delighted to be featuring your kitchen full of love at tomorrow nights party and pinning too.
Hugs,
Kerryanne
Thanks so much Kerryanne! I’m looking forward to the party!
Thank you for the wonderful prints. They brighten up any room. The girls in my bible study love them as birthday gifts.
Thanks Patty! I’m so glad you like them! I love to use printables for gifts too. Have a great day and thanks again for stopping by.
Denise,
How cute!! Love how you styled the tiered tray…I , unfortunately, have no where to display one so large as I have very limited counter space… Your tablescape is just darling!! Thanks so much for stopping by!!
Hugs,
Debbie
Thank you Deb! Just FYI, I bought a really small one at the Target Dollarspot for my daughter last week. She’s in an apartment in San Diego and has limited counterspace too. But they had a small white tiered tray and a red one for Valentine’s Day. I bought the red one for her cocoa bar next year. Five Dollars! I was thrilled!
It all looks so pretty!! Such a perfect post for my current Love and Valentine’s Day themed party if you’d like to link up. Thanks so much for linking up with me at the #UnlimitedMonthlyLinkParty 21, open until February 26. Shared on social media.
Thanks Dee! How in the world did I miss one of your themed parties??? I always love them. Headed there now!
Decorated beautifully, Denise! I would love one of these tiered trays but they are hard to come by without a hefty $ tag. One day!
Thank you Marie! I love them because it’s something I can use all year. I’ve had good luck finding them at reasonable prices on Amazon and in Home Goods. You always have such great DIY projects that I know your tray would be amazing! Thanks for stopping by.
So CUTE!
Pinned 🙂
Thanks Rachelle! Have a great weekend!
What fun and lovely vignette ideas for Valentine’s Day, Denise. I especially love your hearts and candle in your scale (i’m gonna steal that idea for my scale), and I like those wooden hearts SO much, I already have them in my stash! 😉 (I actually took of the burlap ribbon and replaced it with my own! LOL!)
Thanks so much Julie. Steal away… I’ve already stole your idea on the little metal hearts in your tote post. I’ve got those in my stash but you’ve made them so much better! Thanks for stopping by!
Such pretty ideas! I do love the little pig in your first photo, though! Thank you for sharing at Party In Your PJ’s.
Thank you Ann! I love the little pig too! Thanks for stopping by.
Beautiful holiday decor! I really need to get a tiered tray very soon because I find them so pretty every time someone shares theirs. Enjoy the holiday however you can. #HomeMattersParty
Thanks Donna! At this stage in life, I’m always thinking about the downsize that is inevitable. I know my tiered trays will for sure make the cut for things I will take with me! Have a great weekend and thanks again for stopping by!
Thank you for sharing your kitchen at the Farmhouse Friday link party. We liked your tiered tray so much we are featuring it tomorrow at the party. Hope you link up again soon. 🙂
Thank you Cindy! So appreciated! See you Friday.
Thanks so much for sharing this at the Sundays on Silverado Link Party! It is being featured this Sunday. ❤️
I also have to tell you how much I love your printable library! So many lovely designs, and the cow one for Valentine’s is simply adorable!
