Even though most of my house looks like a tornado blew through, I do have at least one little spot that currently makes me smile.

It’s the small landing area next to our basement entry. The one that I never use, lol. Maybe that’s why it has been staying neat and tidy? Hmmmm.

I had this vintage metal drawer cabinet in the garage until a few months ago, when I cleared out the clutter that was piled up here and moved the cabinet here. And I’m trying to get rid of things that don’t spark joy. So that means I need to say goodbye to probably 75% of the stuff in my house, haha!

I added some various new-ish and vintage Valentine’s day decor and some red accents to give the area a romantic look. I already had everything here. It was all borrowed from other areas of the house (the perks of having a big stash).

I got the vintage tulip botanical at an estate sale several years ago and never have really figured out where to put it. I kind of like it with this little vintage Valentine’s day vignette and am thinking it will stay here through the spring.

Don’t you just love my paper heart garland? I got it from etsy a couple of years ago and bring it out every February or late January. (You can find it here if you’re interested → vintage paper heart garland)

This little area is so warm and cheerful now. And I think I’ll be finding excuses to visit the basement and might even use these doors when I go out to run errands. It’s definitely bringing a smile to my face in the middle of the dreary month of January.

Are you feeling the winter blues too? What are you doing to beat them? I suggest making a little vignette somewhere in your house that brings a smile to your face every time you see it.

  1. Very pretty Angue and I love the garland. I'm so opposite of most. I thrive in sunny cool and cold temperatures. I feel invigorated. I am not a warm weather person, I know weird.

    1. Thank you, Cindy! I can tolerate the cold when we have sunshine, but most of our January days are overcast and gloomy. Today we've got sunshine and I'm so glad.

  2. Angie,
    Love your area on the landing!
    That vintage paper heart garland has me swooning!
    (I love all things paper and string!)
    Winter blues is an amazing time for re~organizing
    and editing all those things we once thought we needed
    and now realize that they no longer bring happiness to our lives.
    Best wishes with your endeavors to edit your "stuff"!
    Me, I , too love "shopping the house" and putting together vignettes!
    Pat

    1. Thanks, Pat! You're right, winter is a great time to edit our stash. And shopping the house is one of my favorite things to do!

  3. I totally get you with the Winter Blues Angie. Blegh, it's just the worst. Love your gorgeous vignette and that adorable garland. So sweet.

    1. Thank you! I can stand the cold if we have sunshine, but we haven't had much this month.

  4. I hope the crafty get you out of the winter blues, but i can relate, im lucky i live by the sea, it helps me a bit. Love how the garland turned out so pretty perfect for valentine day.

  5. Love this little vignette. So cute. I must be one of a minority that just loves fall and winter so, no, I don't get seasonal affective disorder or otherwise have the cold weather blues. I just the love the opportunity to snuggle in and layer up and the winter months seem to be conducive to the interests I have….crafts, decorating and reading.

    1. Thank you so much! I love the snuggling part and a fire in the fireplace. I just wish we had more sunshine here in the winter. Lots of candles and happy music are helpful!

  6. Love this vignette! I too have a industrial cupboard like that and it's one of my very favorite pieces in my home!

    1. Thank you, Candice! It has definitely become one of my favorite pieces too! So fun to decorate for each season.

  7. What a beautifully styled Valentine vignette, Angie! I want the vintage metal cabinet ❤️

  8. oh my gosh, I'm totally smitten with this vignette! I went to Etsy and ordered a heart garland, it's so adorable! thanks so much for joining in at All About Home, I'm featuring your post on Monday evening!!

    1. Thank you so much, Debra! I love the garland too and this is my favorite spot that I've hung it so far. I'm honored to be featured at your party!

  9. Hi Angie, I've been at this post before, but am revisiting because of your 13 Ideas for Thrifty Wall Art & Decor post (which I love.!) I was looking at the garland again, and realizing how much I like it. I saw that Etsy has them in several sizes. Do you happen to know how long yours is? Thanks so much. You have a great blog!
