Valentine Table For Two

Valentine’s Day is next Saturday, so for the next couple of days I’ll feature photos of my colorful Treat Table for Two {for Couples on a Budget}.

This does require a little planning and some patience, but keeping your romance alive (esp. in this economy) should be a top priority! A Dessert Date is perfect for busy married couples with small children. You can easily set up a Treat Table for Two in your home after the kids are in bed.  You can use your dining table, a coffee table or even a T.V. tray — whatever works!  Here, I used our bistro table.  Using a smaller table is way more intimate.

Start With Color – Get your color ideas from something you already have that can be used in your setting, such as a vase, tablecloth or plates.  My inspiration was a serving plate my mother gave me a few years ago.  From this, I chose delicious colors:  bubblegum pink, hot pink, yellow and brown — keeping in mind that I had brown plates I could use.

With inexpensive items from the craft store, fabric store, grocery store and clearance sections, I saved a ton of money but didn’t sacrifice on style.  This Friday, I’ll post more photos and details on how to get the look!
