Sometimes the red candy and pink puffy hearts can be too much for home decor.  Here are some ways you can decorate with Valentine’s day decor and keep it subtle.

Ditch the Red and Pink

As soon as the cards start to hit my mailbox, I lament over how to display them.  The last couple of years the fridge was the showcase for all the cards and pictures.  This year I wanted something a little more prominent and a lot less cluttered.

I bought a window at a local antique store for $19 and hung it up near our stairs.  I had some leftover burlap twine and clothes pins that served as the card display.

I attached some heavy duty hooks to the back of the window.
