DIY Valentine's Day Tabletop with Kelly Oshiro Events!

I'm more excited about this than anything else I've ever posted--it's my first editorial collaboration! And I owe it all to the amazing Kelly Oshiro of Kelly Oshiro events, who created this tabletop exclusively for us here at The City Sage.

Valentine's Day has so many different facets, and so much potential for crafting and decorating; it can be girly or glam, playful or punchy, sweet or simple. Kelly and I wanted to explore a look that went beyond hearts and roses to the true meaning the day: chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate!

Of course while we were at it, we had to include plenty of scrumptious eye candy and easy, budget friendly DIY's. This entire spread was executed for about $60 using materials available at the craft store and around the house. My jaw dropped when Kelly showed me the final result!

Stay tuned later today for more photos and on how to get the look--including the DIY for Kelly's incredible woven crepe paper tablecloth. And in the meantime, tell me: what's your favorite spin on Valentine's Day decorating?

jaw-dropping awesome. I love plaid anything — but a table decked out in woven tissue paper plaid pattern — so amazing!

[blair]

Oh how cool!!! Love the crate paper--what a great budget friendly table cover.

[Terri]

My favorite thing? Cracking out the pink Depression glass (which I see you've done, too)!

[Emily]

Oh my gosh it's BEAUTIFUL! I adore Valentine's decorations! This is so exciting, Anne! Can't wait to see more pictures!

This is the best non-80s prom usage of crepe paper I've ever seen! Amazing!

[Brandi]

I love the use of the crepe paper to create this table top -- it may take a bit of time, but it's certainly quite affordable. And I love all the heart details.

[Hege]

wow, wonderful colour mix!

[Alisa: a pina colada]

This is just darling- it's lots to look at, but it doesn't have the obnoxious frills that so many Valentiney tables do. So much fun.

Also, I'm pretty taken with your Valentine's Day blog header decor. I wish they really did that to the bridge...

[erin]

Super cute - love the idea. (and the hearts on your blog header!) wonder if I could replicate the tabletop on a train??

[Leslie]

That is so cute! I've got lots of ideas now...

[Susan]

so cute!
love your seasonal header, too :)

love love the tablecloth!!!

what a creative use for inexpensive tissue paper... I think I would have to put a white vinyl tablecloth below because boy does tissue paper leak color when it gets hit by moisture... but a totally creative idea. Also, my mom has those plates which brings me right back to birthday parties as a kid. So fun.

It is an open question whether any behavior based on fear of eternal punishment can be regarded as ethical or should be regarded as merely cowardly. Do you think so?

I also wanted to say that our oldest daughter bought us a new stove and it is just wonderful because even though it came with loads of instructions, it is very satisfying to use, just push buttons and mix up your recipe and place it in the oven and viola, wonderful, unburnt food...what a glorious feeling it gives me. It is a most magnificent jewel of our kitchen. It will be a pleasure to use when the holidays are upon us. My husband and I are very happy about our new acquisition!

I am always reusing ideas, sketches, placements. you writing about this, because it is the truth that people are known to generalize about a situation . Many people do generalize things to make sense of them. Older people always tell stories of.
