These are all fun!! I like the coat hanger wreath and the red chair by the tree with heart garland hanging down! My hubby loves our tree yet, it’s in a white three foot urn and white lights so why not play up some hearts upon it and let him enjoy and me start a new fashion trend? Ill pull a red leather desk chair out, prop up a PB pillow turned over to the white side, tie with ribbon, and we’re now good for at least February 15th!! Thanks for all the fun ideas!
