  Living Space: Celebrate Valentine's Day at home this year
  A sensuous way to surprise your Valentine is to go out to dinner and come home to a dessert of chocolate fondue.
  Nothing could be more romantic than a candlelit dinner in front of the fireplace. Bring a dining table or folding table into the living room. Pull out a red tablecloth and your prettiest china, a champagne bucket with some chilled bubbly and you've got a scene to melt your valentine's heart. Or clear the living room and throw out a blanket for an impromptu picnic by the fireplace.
  Of course, you could make a whole meal of fondue using traditional foods like tenderloin steak, cubed French bread or blanched vegetables followed by a chocolate dessert. For an extra romantic touch, feed each other with the meal.
  Romance the bathroom
  Have a meal and some champagne ready before the massage and maybe a pair of thick monogrammed robes (restorationhardware.com) you can both slip into to sip bubbly and dine before the massage.
  Instead of sprinkling rose petals on the bed - which are tedious to pick up - opt for a single rose atop a heartfelt note or Valentine. Display a photo of the two of you beside a glowing votive candle.
