Hey friends. I apologize in advance to folks who are anti Valentines day, but things are gonna be a bit on the sweet side over here, at least for today. In addition to our fort that was on Design*Sponge yesterday, Caitlin and I also styled a bedroom for the occasion. By tacking up a few sarongs and oversized scarves, some ribbon and a couple of lanterns, we turned up the exotic romance and turned down the monotony…a few truffles and a splash of champagne…and Valentines Day is served.
Be sure to visit the blog later on today as we will be announcing a sugary sweet giveaway.

WOW! This bed looks incredibly inviting! I may need to have you girls over to transform my bed into this kind of delight! I have the ingredients, now I just need Compai!
I love the fact this valentines set up isn’t sugary sweet – it feels more real, less corporate. Great job! x
You have made it an amazing place- I would keep it this way all year round !!
WOW. take me there.
So cute. Makes me want to build a love fort, for sure. Loves love all around, s
I commented on the D*S post that I thought the fort would make a great bedroom feature, even as a permanent piece. Thanks for more inspiration!
-Evita- I saw your comment on D*S and thought to myself– I hope she comes to the Compai Blog later on today ’cause she’ll be in for a treat! So glad that you did!
Hold the phone! You made two love forts??? Come over and help me make one!
This is awesome!!! LOVE IT. Such good inspiration…
word lets hear it for a way cooler more downhomestyle v day…. i just want to snuggle up in that delish bed and eat those chocs. yum
YES! I want a love fort, forever! I’m not joking, this can work all year long. I forget how much I used to love forting up my room when I was a kid. This is a great and grownup way of doing it. You did an amazing job, Justina!
OOO goodness thanks so much you all. If you make a ‘fort’ you have to let me know and send pix! Happy V day!
Thanks for this post!! Your ideas about turning a bedroom or living room into cozy love nest are really inspiring and just make me plain happy for some reason! Maybe it is because I am undeniably in love at the moment and have been for quite a number of years. I am off to go redecorate!
i kind of like the before a lot better actually…
I love you style so colourful, eclectic and joyful. I have never found another person who’d style matched my own so closely seeing you ‘pins’ is a daily joy thank you for you gorgeous taste and little finds that brightens my day

I like what you’ve done with the bedroom. That’s definitely perfect for anyone looking to cuddle.
That looks like a fun place for a pillow fight. Or an opium den.
love how it is a Morroccan oasis… magical
