Oh Cory….your Valentines Day decorations are adorable!! I love it all!! I love how you do things kid friendly & include them in your decorating!! So sweet!!🥰
The whole house is so beautiful ❤💕💝🌸🩷🌷🌸🌺 the perfect balance of elegance and whimsy. I am sure that your kids find every season magical and full of love, but it is nice to have this special time to highlight it
Thank you for sharing all your thrifted and budget-friendly decor with us! I love your approach to Valentine decor. I can tell your home is filled with love, Cory! 🩷
Chalkboard in dining room: put a bow on It around the bird and let the tails and bow hang down with the chalkboard is-it would be a great contrast against the dark and goes w the theme.
Hi Cory! I actually love pink for valentine's decor! Its softer, not so bright & in your face like red. I don't mind a couple little pops of red, but having it everywhere out just too much!🤷♀️ The stair banister is so pretty! The porch looks really pretty..i might would put 2 tall battery candles in the lanterns if you have them..other than that i think it looks good as is!😊 You could put one or to plastic shopping bags in the bottom of the pitcher & it'll help the hearts to stand taller & show a little better. I love the hutch with all the pink bows & touches of pink.💗 Maybe A few pink hearts on the chalkboard 🤷♀️ It got into the 30's here in south Florida! But up in the Tallahassee & Pensacola area of Florida they had several inches of snow! I really miss the snowy winter's back in TN🥺 I didn't care to be out in it but walking out on the front porch & looking out across the rolling hills & trees hanging over all covered in white, mostly untouched..a beautiful site! Like God just laid a big white blanket over out all!! I loved when we had the soft, dry snow & the flakes would be so big they'd look just like big downy feathers❄ Hey.. NO judgment here gf, i sometimes reward my grandkids with candy too! The mantle looks beautiful.. always one of my fav places to decorate! Enjoyed the video, everything looks just beautiful!! Thanks for sharing and i pray you have a blessed rest of your weekend!🙏🏻😊
Thank you so much! I am so happy you enjoyed the video. You are full of great ideas and so good at describing how beautiful Tennessee is with snow. I will have to see that one day
Great video. I would put the fake candles in your lanterns outdoors and maybe set them on risers or plant stands so they would show up better. Keep up the good work. I enjoy both your channels.
Suggestion: with all your scraps and more...in the little pitcher on the hutch. Wad up paper or foil ball in the bottom so the pink hearts are different heights. So very cute on everything! Leave the chalk board black for the contrast. Love the candles on the mantle.
I love your decor! I don't decorate for Valentine's Day, but after I watched your video I should! :)) Regarding the snow, here in Budapest, Europe, snow has been very rare in the last decade. :( However, last year, we had two snowy weeks, the second one near Christmas. It was magical. We took a huge walk with the children to a little mountain. I even started a scratchbook about our Christmases together from the beginning because I was so inspired by 2024's winter. :)
write a message on the chalkboard. that home column you had in the porch: st. paddy it up with a dollar tree shinny shamrock on the "O", I think the half sphere greenery also on the porch needs a heart on a stick stuck into them
We got 12 inches of snow in Missouri but we get it every year I think it’s so neat for u all that don’t get snow to enjoy the peace and beauty of it it’s so magical ❤
Thank you! Yes it sure can be magical. I was stationed in Fort Leonardwood, missouri for a few months in winter many years ago and got to experience the snow there. And lots of slippery ice. It was so cold! But we did have snowball fights haha.
Everything looks so cute, I think it would be cute if you wrote Love in Bloom on the chalkboard since you have it sitting in front of those pretty flowers just a thought😃❤️🌺
Thank you! That is the beauty of learning to make things and build things for yourself. And finding good second-hand bargains. It makes having nice things more affordable.
Oh I love the Hallmark/flowershop idea! I always struggle with how to decorate for Valentine's day because I'm not a big fan of red either or how cheesy some of it looks. Your home turned out gorgeous with all of the pinks!
So pretty, great job! I have had 5 major surgeries. It is always mind blowing, I had my first hip replacement while my house was tore up with contractors. That made it so much worse!
I see someone already suggested lifting the pink heart picks in the pitcher. I thought the black board would look cute with just 5 simple, open (not filled in) hearts drawn in different sizes, kind of like bubbles? I don't know how to describe it exactly. I love the ribbon you used for the bow on the outside wreath, along with the heart picks and also the mini garlands used on your outside lanterns. The floral garland on the banister was fab and went well with the florals in the umbrella stand. I love that the kids in Texas got snow. I think every kid and dog need to experience a nice big old snowfall. We would be happy to see that snow up here in MN. We don't have anywhere near what we should have at this point in the season. BTW, love how you are so thorough in decorating all areas. I am not a pink fan, but I do prefer it vs the harsh super bright reds, by far. Nice job.
Very Hallmark -ish, and just the right amount of decorations. It warms my heart that you said this is about the kids. I Agree. I struggle with what to do with my lanterns. Maybe that's something you could do. I love my lanterns. Idk if I could paint one. Idk. They're hitting the boring vibe and I need help Corie.
Thank you Charlotte! For lantern decorating ideas you can try pinterest, but there's a woman on TH-cam and her channel is called "traditions by the season" and she has really great ideas for decorating and uses lots of lanterns
Woo hoo! I just sat down with a cup of coffee. Talk about the perfect start to my day. ETA1: Call me silly, but my favorite part of the hutch: the pink ribbon on the rooster. I mean all of the stuff that you did for Valentine's decor is beautiful and tasteful, but that ribbon on the rooster ... for some reason, it just came across as whimsical and adorable, and it made me smile. ETA2: Have your kids draw something on the chalkboard. That would be SO cute!
Every year I use either paper bags or the brown paper rolls of gift wrap. I cut squares or triangles and make garlands I rip up fabric scraps. I use buttons and fabric to embellish the shapes and hang them from jute string. It's such a fun beautiful and easy idea. I will try to put up a picture
Love how you use your hutch in every season as decor. You make such beautiful vignettes. On the chalk board “love you the way you are”
Thank you! Great idea! I'll try that!
I’ve enjoyed watching Desert DIY, for a few years now. I’m enjoying Cory just as much!!!
Cory it looks beautiful 🤩 💕
You are so sweet! I am so glad you're enjoying it!!!
The LOVE you have for your family radiates in every room. The Valentine’s Day decor turned out wonderful especially because of that.
🌷💓🌸🌷💓🌸🌷💓🌸🌷
Aw, thank you so much! I love making my home welcoming for my family!
Already loving the pale pinks! ❤
Me too!
Everything looks great. Just enough touches. 💗
Thank you so much

Thank you so much! I appreciate you noticing the love.
Maybe adding pearl balls or some pearl strands will give more Hallmark movie flare for the outdoors
Thats a cute idea. I love pearls
Ooo, good idea
You are a shining example to follow, with your creativity and perseverance! You are an amazing human.
Aw, thank you so much! That means a lot to me.
I’m not a pink person, but the pink heart throw from Ross is gorgeous!
Thank you! And it's so soft

Hi Cory, everything looks so nice. I think the mantel and wreath are my favs.
I’m so glad you like it! Thank you
We got around 4 inches of snow in southwest Georgia! It’s the most I remember ever getting here!
It will be a day (or two) that we will all remember!
I'm watching you with a blizzard outside
Oh boy! Stay warm and cozy
Luv it all. Gave me a lot of inspiration to get decorating. Luv the pink in your home. Yes add a Lil note for your kids on chalk board
Thank you! I'm so glad it gave you some inspiration. Great idea
Oh, that snow on the outside decor was such a special touch from nature.
I thought so too. Magical!
Everything looks so cute, I think it would be cute if you wrote Love in Bloom on the chalkboard since you have it sitting in front of those pretty flowers just a thought😃❤️🌺
Thats a great idea! Thank you
Everything is so soft and classic, just lovely ❤
Thank you! I'm so happy with how it turned out.
Your home looks very elegant and rich. I'd say your are very fortunate.
Thank you! That is the beauty of learning to make things and build things for yourself. And finding good second-hand bargains. It makes having nice things more affordable.

I know what you mean. Red can be so overwhelming. I'm so glad you liked it
So pretty, great job! I have had 5 major surgeries. It is always mind blowing, I had my first hip replacement while my house was tore up with contractors. That made it so much worse!
Like they say, when it rains it pours! I swear all the hard things happen at once lol. I'm glad you made it out ok
Candles to lanterns. Pink
That pink is a great segway color from Christmas to Spring.
It is a perfect transition color!
I love everything! It’s so sweet and all the little touches are wonderful.
Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it.
I love the pink. Im really not a red person. The pink is just the right touch! It really looks great! Have fun with the snow. ❤
Me too! It's so pretty and cozy!

Love your ideas. I agree every kid and dog should get a chance to experience fun in the snow! Thank you so much
What about pink candles in the lanterns one tall one and a smaller one. Loving your decorations Someone else mentioned that as well
Thank you! That would be pretty too!
I loved everything but I think your mantel looks especially nice for the season. It’s amazing what a little ribbon can do to change things up.
Thank you so much! I agree, ribbon can really make a difference.

That's a really cool idea! I'm going to have to try that.
I think some of the big pink candles that lights up would be cute in your lanterns.
Love that idea
Very sweet! Just like a Hallmark movie!🩷
Thank you so much! I really try to make things feel special.
Everything is as cute as can be! 😀
Thank you!!!

Where do you store your seasonal decor items? I would love to see that.
I store them in my attic. When I get to that part of my organizing and decluttering videos, I'll be sure to show it!
Absolutely love everything! Thanks for sharing your work with us 💕💖💕
Thanks so much 😊
You amaze me,love the simple decor. Love your ideas.

Love the cabinets as they are!
Thank you! They are unfinished at the moment
Wow snow
I think your home is so beautiful.
Thank you so much
Everything looks lovely Cory!
Thank you Annie
Loved your decorations. If you put Mod Podge on the slick surface first, will the paint stick?
You'd probably have a similar scenario. Chalk paint sticks well it just needs to build upon itself when painting on slick plastic
@@coryshomeyou can use Zinsser Shellac. Spray that over what you’re going to paint and it grabs well. No chipping!
On the chalkboard “ Love blooms here “
Perfect!
Love your dec in hutch. Beautiful
Thank you so much!
Looks so cozy and festive! What is your husband going to school for?
Thank you! Computer science
I love everything you do!
Thank you Gina
