Apartment Living

Are you looking to get in the mood for Valentine’s Day by sprucing up your apartment? Show off your gorgeous Chicago apartment by putting together these fun and easy DIY decorations that will create smiles and an aura of love in your home, even if you haven’t snagged a Valentine just yet.

MAKE A PRINTABLE HEART OF YOUR FAVORITE SONG LYRICS
No Biggie went with “Love Me Do” but any love song of your choice will work just fine for this fun and offbeat decoration.

DIY STRING HEART
If you love exploring Pinterest, you’ve probably seen a lot of string art and hearts are no exception. Put some love into your decorating with a string heart!

CONVERSATION HEARTS
Check out your local thrift shops, Etsy, or even your own knick-knack shelf and transform some old glassware into a fun conversation piece by filling it up with conversation hearts. Even if you don’t like to eat them, they make a fun and colorful decoration. Mason jars also work well and you can give them more flair with some ribbons.

PAINTED MASON JARS
Conversation hearts not your thing? Go for a cute and rustic look with some painted Mason jars. You can paint them just one color like pink, or go for as many different Valentine’s Day themed colors as you’d like. Add a couple foam hearts and some twine, glitter, or other accents to make it uniquely yours! These would also make nice gifts for the sweet people in your life.

BLACK AND WHITE PHOTO WALL
Liven up your wall with a collage of black and white photos accented with red, white and pink hearts and other symbols of love. It’s simple, expressive and you can choose the images that celebrate love however you please. Those photos can even just be of classic Valentine’s desserts!

Whether you’re going to make some V-day inspired art or just put up a couple pretty Mason jars, the possibilities are endless for putting some red, pink and white liveliness into your home.
