Tablescapes, XO Hugs & Kisses
Welcome to the annual Celebrate and Decorate Valentine Blog Hop!
Valentine’s Day is celebrated as a birthday in my house, my son was born on Valentine’s Day, and he is a real sweetheart!
To keep this table more on the masculine side, I chose to use black, and bold red and white checks
Pewter plates, antique silver goblets, sleek gold edged flatware, and chalkboard ribbon for the napkins
The centerpiece features shiny silver packages nestled into a checked Valentine cloth atop a painted table runner {details at the end of post}
The heart ornaments and the star hanging from the chandy were recent gifts from a very special friend
❤️ Thank you Emily! ❤️
A silver champagne bucket with a tray of crystal flutes anchor one end of the table
And a plate full of chocolate kisses anchors the other end
Plenty of Hugs & Kisses for this Valentine birthday!
Juicy Details
The table runner was made with a length of freezer paper on which I painted large black Xs and Os
For the napkins, I tied them with a length of chalkboard ribbon and used a chalk paint pen to write the X O on them

The red and white checked Valentine fabric is a round table cloth {Hobby Lobby} which I couldn’t get the wrinkles out of–I CAN NOT iron 😂 so I wadded it up carefully arranged it and used it on top of the freezer paper runner
The gold edged flatware is a recent purchase from Hobby Lobby
The much loved Pewter plates were wedding gifts
The silver packages are actually wrapped square kleenex boxes that I have used many times in various vignettes and tablescapes
The silver goblets belonged to my paternal grandmother

Jenna, Your Hugs & Kisses table is perfect for celebrating your son’s birthday or any Valentine’s celebration that’s a blend of masculine and feminine! I love your creativity and fun painted runner and chalkboard ribbon to tie your napkins! I always enjoy seeing your chandy ‘blinged up’ too. I hope you’re enjoying some of this warm weather and sunshine…almost warm enough to make chocolate melt 🙂 As always, it’s a pleasure pull up a chair at your table and blog hop with you ♥
Thanks Mary! Yes loving this weather, every day is a gift!
This is such fun and I really love the table runner and your wonderful use of the gingham. Very cheery!
thanks Jeanie
Jenna, your XO hugs and kisses table is just perfect for your son’s Birthday/Valentine’s Day celebration. The freezer paper XO runner is a great idea that I think I could even create. I haven’t seen chalkboard ribbon before, but I will definitely be on the lookout now. There are so many pretty details that I just love. Will there be pizza for the party? It is always a pleasure to blog hop with you! Happy birthday HHjr!
I can’t remember where I got that ribbon, I’ve had it for a while, but it was either Hobby Lobby or Old Time Pottery… Thanks Pam, I had fun putting this table together!
Love your hugs and kisses table! So cute Jenna. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Thank you Cindy!
Cute table – love your table runner “idea” – I have to remember that! Happy birthday to your son!!
thanks Patti, freezer paper is handy stuff!
Leave it to you, Jenna, to come up with a unique and wonderful tablescape with a man in mind. Your ‘artful’ arrangement of the cloth is perfect – no ironing required, LOL!!! Love the Xs and Os runner!! What a fun idea.
Thank you Carole!
I love this color combo. It’s my favorite for Valentine’s Day. I really like your centerpiece arrangement. The gathered cloth and silver wrapped gifts were a really creative design! Love the X O runner you created for the base and how you continued the silver theme with the dishes, stemware and flatware. My daughter was due on the 14th but came on the 12th. My husband’s is the 8th so we have always had a Birthday Valentine’s celebration too!
Thanks Liz, Valentine and February birthdays are so much fun! Happy Birthday to your daughter and husband!
Lots of love here!
It was fun to put together!
What a great table, Jenna, especially for a guy! HHJr would certainly appreciate all your gestures on display here (as would his boys! I’ll sit on the end with them, where the Hershey kisses are!). Love all things you’ve used here, and as an artist, you really pack a punch with your creative license in use of butcher paper and chalkboard ribbon (not to mention the coasters). What do you mean, you cannot iron? lol, doesn’t matter, cause it sure looks good rumpled up in the center. Seriously, you are really creative. Sweet gifts from sweet Emily.
I am surprised the plate of Kisses hasn’t dwindled down yet 🙂 I must admit, I’ve snatched 1 or 2 myself! Seriously, I really can’t iron, I manage to make everything look worse!
❤️😍💕. Love it. Xo
thanks Jodi!
Jenna, you have a double celebration for Valentine’s Day, Happy Birthday HHjr!!! The table is really so special. I love the table runner, how creative!!!! Love the hand painted X’s and O’s and the check napkins and ribbon. Perfect table for your double celebration. Glad you liked the star and hearts. I saw those and though of you and others that would enjoy them. I love them too 🙂 Enjoy your day. Hugs…….
Don’t the things you gave me look so cute, they will be busy decorating lots of places in the future!!
Oh, Jenna, this is so sweet! I am avoiding Valentine’s Day this year, but have made mental note of your centerpiece with the wrapped packages. I LOVE that idea! It would work for so many occasions, particularly when I am completely out of new ideas.
I have used these packages in so many ways,
I also have white ones with different ribbons, have fun with them Pattie!
Jenna, your black and white with red table looks so lovely. How creative to use freezer paper for the runner. The centerpiece looks perfect with the wrapped packages. What a lovely gift from Emily. A double celebration for Valentine’s day. Happy birthday to your son. Love the chalkboard ribbon, how fun that is. I would love to be your guest at this creative and fun table.
Thank you Linda! You are welcome any time 🙂
How very creative! Love the painted xo’s on the paper! A perfect runner with the red white and black, very nice. The silver boxes are very creative too! Happy Birthday to your son and may there be lots of love and fun throughout the whole year to the both of you!
Aw, thanks Cyndi
Your table is just perfect for your son’s Birthday, Jenna! Using parchment paper with painted X’s and O’s is such a easy, thrifty idea! I’m sure your son will appreciate all your loving touches. ❤️
It makes great wrapping paper too! Thanks Kitty!
Happy Birthday to your son! Looks like a nice celebration.
You are so creative. I like your painted runner and the neat tip about wrapping square kleenex boxes for decorations.
I love your gifts from Emily. Your TT party looked like so much fun. You went all out.
Thank you Bonnie, we had a lot of fun!
I double dog dared someone to do the XOXO’s!!! You did it fabulously!!! Love your runner! This does look like a table my husband would be willing to sit at – so kudos to keeping a masculine side to your table. Happy Birthday to you son! How fun to have a birthday on a day where love abounds!
It is alway fun to see what kind of surprise you will have in store for your tables!! Love hopping with you! Enjoy your Valentines Day!
I saw a runner at Pier 1 that was white with XOs scattered on it, and thought, shoot I can do that! I love the way it turned out! This table was fun to put together, and I always am blown away by all the tables in our hop group, such FUN!
Love it! ❤️💗😊
We both have sons born on Valentine’s Day, how cool is that! Your chosen colors of red and black are totally masculine and very classy. The pewter plates add a bit of a rustic vibe and the XOXO runner adds lots of character. Happy Valentine’s Birthday to your son!
Oh how fun Sandra, wasn’t it totally special having a baby that day!! And everyone remembers their birthday!! I had a lot of fun with this table, designed with a lot of love ❤️
Looks like you are all set for Valentine’s Day Jenna! Kindly push a few of those Hershey Kisses my way:@)
Yes, I’m trying not to grab one every time I walk by 🙂
Jenna, you are so creative! I love your hugs and kisses table. What a perfect table to celebrate a Valentine’s Birthday. The pewter dinnerware with red accents is so pretty. It looks both elegant and masculine. Happy Birthday to your son and Happy Valentine’s Day to you!!!
Thank you Shannon! I’ve had the pewter plates since I got married and have loved using them over the years, reminds me of an old English pub!
The hugs and kisses runner is so cute–what a clever idea! Happy to be joining you on the hop this week. Blessings, Cecilia @My Thrift Store Addiction
Thank you Cecilia, so glad you could join the fun this week!
Jenna, how clever and fun is your XOXO theme! It’s such a heart-warming, sweetheart of a table. Absolutely love the XO runner you created, and especially the charming chalkboard ribbon.
Thanks Debbee!
…and this is what I love about these blog hops! We have used the same colors and both used plaid, but our tables look nothing alike! I really like going back to revisit these hops time and time again for inspiration! Your table is so fun and that runner is the perfect base for styling it! Thanks for joining in another hop!
Thank you for hosting Chloe, and yes I think the hops really bring out everyone’s creativity!
Jenna, your colors are beautiful and your unique style is always a pleasure to see. Using chalkboard ribbon for your x and o’s was so cool. Love the pewter dinnerware. A perfect Valentine’s Birthday for your son. Hugs and kisses back at you and your tablescape, Blessings my friend.
Thanks Kari!
Great display.
Joan,Marion and Marilyn

Love all your creative touches to your table!! I didn’t know there was chalkboard ribbon! How cool is that!! 😘💕xo
Yes, it’s hard to work with though, very stiff! I can’t remember where I got it either 😂
Oh my goodness…..who doesn’t love hugs and kisses of all kinds. What a great idea to use X’s and O’s on pieces to make up this cute table. I even caught sight of all those delicious chocolate kisses. Yum! I really enjoy the mixture of patterns. Love the hugs and kisses all around….
Thanks Marsha!
Hi Jenna, oh you have decorated such a pretty table for Valentine’s Day. I love the xo theme you have going on!
Thank you Julie, I had a lot of fun with this 🙂
A great tablescape for any occasion! And perfect for your son too!
Happy Birthday to him!
Thanks Nancy!
Jenna, what a super cute idea. I love XOXO’s too and making the table runner was a great idea. “Wadding” up the unironable tablecloth was a great solution that added texture and contrast to your table. Fun, fun tablescape.
Thanks Carol!
I saw this on Instagram, and I LOVE it! LOVE all the x’s and o’s! I bet your son loved it!
We will actually be celebrating his birthday at the beach next weekend, it’s his favorite place to be so he will be in heaven…but it was much fun creating the table!
Jenna, the table you created for your son’s birthday is both festive and masculine. I love the pewter dishes and goblets. I didn’t know about chalkboard ribbon! I also love how you creativity crafted the XO theme with the runner and ribbon napkin rings. It’s been a pleasure joining you on this hop. Happy Birthday to your son and Happy Valentine’s Day to you!
Thank you Rebecca, this was such a fun hop!!
I love your clever and creative themed table! The XOs are adorable! I love how you painted your runner. I have never seen chalk ribbon before. I will definitely look for it. Happy Birthday to your boy and Happy Valentine’s Day!
Thank you Lynne, it was such a great hop, so many unique tables and ideas!
Fun and original, Jenna! I really appreciate you highlighted the masculine side of this celebration. That’s amore!
Thank you Donna!!!
Jenna, I love your Valentine tablescape. That runner is fabulous and I cannot believe it’s freezer paper.

Thanks Catherine! Freezer paper comes in handy for all kinds of things!
Jenna, your table is perfect for both your son’s birthday and Love Day! I love your table runner – I so enjoy a good and easy DIY! I appreciate your use of the gingham cloth in the center – I’m terrible at ironing, too! Happy Birthday to your son and a Happy Valentine’s Day to you!
Thanks Kim! I love easy DIYs too!
Hi Jenna, oh your table is decorated so pretty. I love the x and o theme too. Thanks for sharing this at Cooking and Crafting with J & J. Have a happy Valentine’s Day.
