Do you love Valentine’s Day? \u00a0If the answer is yes, ask yourself why?<\/p>\n
Is it the parties, the sweet notes, the special time with loved ones?<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Intro Text” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
If the answer is no, ask yourself why?<\/p>\n
Is it the commercialism, the extra costs, or maybe even the colors?!<\/p>\n

In case you hadn’t guessed already, all of the above is true for me!<\/strong> \u00a0I don’t especially love all the hyped-up versions of Valentine’s Day, but I do love the\u00a0feeling<\/em> of Valentine’s Day and most of all, an excuse to celebrate with the people I love the most!<\/p>\n While I won’t be putting red and pink balloons, streamers, signs, and hearts all over our house, I hope to bring the\u00a0cozy feeling<\/em> of Valentine’s Day through some simple decor touches.<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Intro Text” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Let’s chat about a few ways you can bring the\u00a0feeling\u00a0<\/em>of Valentine’s Day through some simple, cozy Valentine’s Day decor ideas.<\/p>\n What’s not to love about that?!<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Dining-room-candles-scaled.jpg” title_text=”Dining room candles” admin_label=”dining room candles” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=”Cozy texture header” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/robynsfrenchnest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Pillows-1-scaled.jpg” title_text=”Pillows 1″ admin_label=”pic of pillows 1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”750px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Cozy texture” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n It’s true. \u00a0I chat about texture a lot here on my blog. \u00a0And I’ll keep chatting about it because the way your home\u00a0feels<\/em> is super important!
