We couldn’t resist making the most of Valentine’s Day with our window too. It doesn’t hurt that our lovely new LOVE sculptures look so lovely with the covers of the Design Sponge book (with my apartment in it) and Decorate (with a quote from me).

Believe it or not, I had been on a quest to find these stainless steel LOVE sculptures based upon Robert Indiana’s iconic graphic and sculpture. I have owned one which I bought nearly 10 years ago for my first store, but the supplier changed and I was unable to relocate them until now. Luckily, they were sweet enough to get some shipped to me just in time for Valentine’s Day. We have them at our store and online in Red, Blue and Gold. I LOVE them.

So, I have to add that what I love about this LOVE, it’s that the “O” is askew. Is it so content, that it has released the effort to sustain it’s upright and proper position? Or is it making an escape about to roll away from the “L”, the “V” and “E”, figuring it wouldn’t be missed when the “E” disappeared and “U” showed up to replace it?

It also just reminds me of my childhood.
