Valentine’s Day Dinner Décor Ideas 2012

Every year, 14th February is celebrated by lovers asValentine’s Day. We all know how it started, today the gesture is a simple one, appreciated and shared across cultures and geographical boundaries: To celebrate the bond of love that you share with your better half.

Valentine’s Day 2012 is but a few days away, and shopping malls and streets are colored red with heart shaped balloons, roses and ribbons. From Valentine’s Day cards to Roses and flower deliveries, there is something that you can do to show your beloved that she is special and cared for. Sure you’ll order flowers and a Valentine’s Day gift for her as usual, but this year, try doing a little extra effort to pamper the love of your life.

This year, Timeless Wrought Iron decided to help you out in planning the perfect Valentine’s Day dinner for your beloved. In our last post, we had put together a list of Wrought Iron items that you can use to plan a beautiful, cozy and romantic dinner at your home to celebrate Valentine’s Day.  You can find these items here.

So, now that you have the props, it’s time to get to work!

Use the wrought iron floor lamp to get the ideal lighting effect in your living room. We suggest you set it up in a cozy nook with an end table underneath. Place a vase – the wrought iron and glass vase – on the table with fresh red roses in it. You can also add some colored stones to the vase to make better use of the light and bring more focus to the vase. While the wrought iron vase will complement the floor lamp, it will also act as a beautiful focal point to your living room.

Try a few wrought iron candle holders with red and white candles – these can be fat ones for a more relaxed setting or classically tapered to suit your mood and preference – but only one or two will be enough. Avoid overusing any one particular kind of item as it loses its significance that way.  You can use balloons, heart shaped of course, for a more festive look. Just a single bunch, and if you use curled ribbon trims to hold it together, that would be nicer.

As far as the food is concerned, it will be a plus point if you can cook it yourself. She will be impressed by the effort you put into the evening. You can look online for ideas and easy recipes. But even if you order the food from a takeaway, your wonderful presentation will be enough to win her heart. For this purpose, try a beautiful wrought iron and ceramic serving casserole or platter.

White dishes will complement the black wrought iron on the table to perfection. You can use rose shaped wrought iron napkin rings or lovely butterfly shaped ones. These will complement the general black and white look on your dining table.

To add a touch of color, try red candles in wrought iron candle holders and a wrought iron and glass vase with just a stem or two of beautiful red roses.

Some fruit on a marble and wrought iron serving platter or wrought iron and glass fruit basket will add more color and make the meal look more inviting.

Add a touch of rose petals and you are good to go.

Team Timeless Wrought Iron wishes you a very Happy Valentine’s Day 2012!

Valentine’s Day 2012 Shopping Guide

Valentine’s Day 2012 is just a week away. Are you prepared? Every woman expects her beloved to do something special for her on Valentine’s Day. It is the time of year when you are expected to wear your heart on your sleeve and express your love and affection to your beloved in a way that is both unique as well as special.

This Valentine’s Day, be prepared in time, make sure you have everything you need beforehand to pull off the most romantic dinner date ever. Even though a good restaurant or a hotel seems like a good option, you’d better think again… You can never have a cozy, intimate dinner in a public place, especially on Valentine’s Day when every place will already be crowded. Invite her over to your place this year and give her a time to remember.

You need to create the right ambience, and in order to achieve the Valentine look, the correct décor and attention to small details is very important. Be careful not to overdo the flowers and balloons, instead opt for a classy look with something different, like wrought iron to act as an accent to the soft roses and the candles.

Buy wrought iron candle holders for your living room as well as your dining table, and if you don’t have one already, we strongly recommend a wrought iron floor lamp to dull down the lighting and create a very soft, relaxing and romantic atmosphere. Low light also helps hide any stains on your sofa or carpet!

You should also use wrought iron and glass vases for your Valentine Flowers; the combination is stunning the soft, delicate and bright blossom form the perfect contrast against black wrought iron.

For the dining table, you should try wrought iron napkin rings, there is a wide range of designs available, and you can get one in the shape of a butterfly or a rose. You can also opt for a beautiful wrought iron and ceramic serving platter or cake platter.

Stay tuned for our post next week on how to decorate your home for the perfect Valentine’s Day Dinner for two.

Wrought Iron Mitten And Boot Dryer Stands

Winter comes with snow fights, snowmen and a lot of wet boots and clothes! When the kids come running home and take off their boots, mittens and caps in the entrance, it is always a good idea to make sure that there is appropriate storage available for them to avoid clutter and mess. You can easily buy a Wrought Iron Mitten and Boot Dryer Stand and place it in your foyer or the entrance way. It takes up very little floor space and is a great way of making sure that your kids will hang their discarded mittens, caps and boots before they come into the house. It means less work for you picking up after them and also ensures that the wet clothing is dried off for future use.

Wrought Iron is the perfect material for Boot and Mitten dryer stands due to its strength and durability. No matter how delicate the design, a wrought iron stand will be sturdy enough to bear the weight of heavy winter apparel. Secondly, the clean smooth edges ensure that no splinters or nails will spoil the woolen mittens or sweaters.

A Wrought Iron Mitten and Boot Dryer stand comes with a baked powder coat finish. This means that the moisture and snow from the wet clothes and boots will not be able to ruin the finish and color of the stand with use. In contrast if you use a wooden stand, the moisture will not only fade the polish, it will also cause cracks in the wood over time.

You can find a strong and durable Wrought Iron mitten and boot drying stand to match or complement your existing Wrought Iron pieces.

Interior Changes For 2012

2012 is here; everyone is making resolutions for the year ahead. There is hope and inspiration in every heart and we all want this year to be better than the last.

Coming this New Year, you might be thinking about changing the look of your home. Renovations, or a change of interior is generally considered to be an expensive task and people are generally wary of undertaking such projects very often.

A little thoughtful planning can take you a long way, and without overspending, you can still manage to create a brand new look for 2012!

You can try focusing on a specific area of your home to redo. This may be your bedroom, dining room or may be the family living room. Decide which area needs the change most and focus on that room first. This way, by prioritizing the areas to be renovated, you can manage the budget easily.

Instead of opting for whatever is “in” these days, go for something that will stand the test of time and stay in fashion for the years to come. Wrought Iron is a great option in this regard. Besides being sturdy and cost effective, a wrought iron piece will never look out dated. Even when you change other elements of the room later, your wrought iron pieces will blend in perfectly with any color scheme that you may choose in the years to come.

You can always add a wrought iron piece to the existing décor of a room to give it a fresh change and a new look. A wrought iron chandelier can add a beautiful Old World look to your entrance or living room. Try a wrought iron coffee table base for your home. You can top it off with any of your favorite wood, stone or glass top.

Smaller items like candleholders, fireplace tools, and wrought iron table lamps also serve the purpose of redoing an interior in a tight budget. You can also add wrought iron pot holders and lamp posts to your garden to create an interesting look outdoors.

Team Timeless Wrought Iron wishes you a very Happy New Year. We hope that 2012 brings you prosperity, success and happiness.

Christmas Stocking Holders And Hooks

Christmas is just around the corner and everyone is busy preparing for the holiday season. Gift lists, special cooking sprees, Christmas Décor, and party invitations make the top priorities on the To-Do lists in the Christmas Season.

We all follow Christmas traditions like decorating the Christmas tree, and buying presents for friends and family that are tucked under the Christmas tree. Another such tradition involves stockings hung by the fireplace.  These Christmas Stockings are not only hung up for decoration, but also carry a legend behind them.

It is believed Santa Claus (Saint Nicholas) heard of a nobleman’s daughters who were forced to live in poverty due to an unfortunate turn of fate. They had no dowries and hence were not considered suitable for marriage. Santa Claus filled the sisters’ old stockings with lumps of gold when they were hung out to dry by the fireplace.

Today, Christmas Stockings are highly decorative and form a very important and eye-catching part of Christmas decorations. People use all sorts of decorative materials and fabrics to create Christmas Stockings though you can always buy them from a store or online.

In order to hang these Christmas Stockings, you will need Stocking Hooks and Stocking Hangers. These are available in different designs and you can choose them as per your mood and requirements.

Wrought Iron Stocking Holders and Hooks are a great one-time investment and can be used year after year without the fear of getting faded, dull or out-dated.

You can order Stocking Holders and Hooks to match your existing wrought iron décor, or the design on your fireplace accessories, or you can buy Stocking Hangers and Hooks in traditional Christmas themes. You can also get these Hooks with your Initials on them, so each family member can have a personalized Christmas Stocking Holder.

Hang them by the fireplace alone or add more decorations like sprigs of mistletoe, pretty bows in Red and Green silk to match the Christmas Theme or maybe a garland of Holly strung around the Christmas Stocking Hooks to further add to the festive look.

You can take these hooks off once the Christmas Season has passed or keep them on with some form of dry arrangement or other hanging decoration. The Christmas Stocking Hooks in Wrought Iron are sturdy and will form family heirlooms with many sweet memories to cherish as the years pass.
