Decor changes

I've made a few decor changes in our house. We painted the front room back in Nov, to be exact Thanksgiving day! We wanted it painted before we had my mom come over for Thanksgiving dinner so nothing like waiting to the last minute! Then last month I bought this dark brown scarf curtain, I've never had to hang a curtain like this before so it took some time to figure out how to keep it from falling down because the material is sooo slippery! After stressing about it for a while, I got the idea to pin it in place, easy! As you can see I got an early start on my Valentine decor!
Back in Nov I think we bought this tv stand, we tried and tried to find something on craigslist for real cheap that we liked but we couldn't find anything. So we broke down and bought this at Walmart. We love the dark color and plan on changing the rest of our family room furniture to match. Oh and we just recently painted the family room the same color as the front room.
 Last month I put up some objects above our cabinets.
 Thats a pillow in the right corner, one that Jake's grandma made years ago. For the longest time I didn't know what to do with it because it didn't go with anything. So I just held onto it for sentimental reasons all these years. I recently became interested in vintage/old decor so I thought this was kinda vintage looking. I don't know maybe it looks weird up there. What do you think?
Just the other day I told Kayla and Samantha to bring down every single Valentine stuffed animal they had to decorate the front room! So this is want they came down with, 9 animals! Is it too much?! *I just noticed that that picture looks really small on that wall, hmmm need to fix that!
This one is my favorite! Love Puppies! Its actually mine from when I was a little girl but somehow Samantha ended up with it!

Samantha made this calendar for me and gave it to me at Christmas! Every month has her hand prints, talk about creative! I love this one for April!
Cute little ghosts for October!
Of course the classic turkey hand for November!
The one for this month, hearts! Happy Valentines everyone! Love ya!

that is the cutest calendar and I love the decor. my vote would be to not put the pillow up there only because it does have sentimental value. The dust in my own kitchen seems to be greasier than in other rooms, and if that were mine, I'd want it someplace else.

Lisa! The house looks really nice! I've only seen the outside (which is really nice too) So thanx for showing the inside too! I love the decorations...we don't have any, i need to make some!
That is a super cute calender you got from Samantha, Very creative!
I think the pillow is cute, It seems fine up there but what Kristen said makes sense too.
