Looking for Some Extra Love in the Bedroom? Recipes Included.

 

I talk a lot about entertaining and designing spaces but when it all comes down to it, the reason we do all of this is to be able to share time with the ones we love. This Valentines Day let’s ensure your loved ones know it is all about them with special touches through out the day to show your love. Beginning of course with the most important meal of the day…Breakfast. Belgium Waffles topped with Blueberries and Raspberries, Coffee with Whipped Foam and a flute of Love Potion Champagne Cocktail all served on a tray in bed…. Sounds perfect to me!

The famous Love Potion is a simple mixture of champagne and cranberry juice. My husband and I made it when we were dating and the story goes that he tricked me with the Love Potion. So we continue to drink it today so the spell does not wear off. If you like champagne cocktails check out these versions: Harvest  or Pomegranate

For the tray-blescape… (get it..) you will need:

• Red and Linen napkins – 2 {one to cover the tray and the other to use}
• Fork & Knife
• Coffee
• Two small bud vases with red tulips
• card for your loved one
• Menu: Coffee, Waffles, Love Potion
• Add your own love
