For the longest time, the walls in my living room were pretty bare and I just kept drawing a blank as to what to do with them. Over Christmas break, my husband mounted our tv which got me in the mood to start decorating. Doing that one thing really made a bit difference in our living room. We bought a media console to go under it and our living room was finally starting to come together and I knew that I had found a home for some Valentine subway art to display.
On Thanksgiving I had asked my dad to build me a mantle shelf for the wall opposite the tv. I know that it was easy enough to do ourselves but knew that we wouldn’t have the time before Christmas to do it and well……….I kind of wanted it like yesterday so my dad came to the rescue. “While you’re at it………….could you bring me an old window if you happen to have one?” (which I knew he did! He built my mom a greenhouse with a bunch of old windows he collected and I knew he had to have a few kicking around. I was right!)
Here’s what I got Christmas Eve (I was like a little kid on Christmas morning!)
The candle sticks I picked up at Burlington for $9.99 (total bargain). Finally a place to decorate for the holidays (yeah!!!!!!!!!!!) and for everyday stuff as well. I decided to do a little something for Valentine’s Day. I didn’t spend any money to do this. I just did a little shopping around the house and in the basement.
The text on the Valentine subway art is from 1 Corinthians 13, the love chapter. I love this because I can keep it up throughout the year because God’s Word is for everyday, not just for holidays. I had the frame downstairs and I had that bouquet of red roses in the basement also. That thing is so old! lol But I’m glad I held onto it all this time.
And how about another view….
{i since removed the “laugh” sign after looking at these pictures but I’m loving the look of this shelf.}
I’m sharing this “Love” printable with you so all you have to do is right click on the subway art below and “save as”. It will print on regular 8.5×11 paper.
UPDATE:A few of you had trouble when printing. I’m not sure why but I’ve added 2 links for you to use instead of doing “save as”. If you had trouble with the original file, but had success with either the download files below, please let me know which worked for you. Thank you!!
Please DO NOT share this freebie once you have downloaded it. Direct people to this post to obtain their own copy. 🙂 This subway art is for PERSONAL USE ONLY. DO NOT USE THIS TO CREATE GIFTS TO SELL.
