Sometimes I like to keep it simple. I bought some ceramic pumpkins from the Dollar Store last year. The colors were a bit drab, so I painted two of them white last weekend and love them now! I put one ontop of a vintage desk and this one I added to an upcycled Goodwill cloche that sits on my kitchen counter. I added the word fall to a coffee baked tag. I love the simplicity!...
Here's a really easy DIY project for Halloween. I like to add decorations all over my house for any holiday, but the bathroom always presents something of a challenge. So I made some quick Halloween soaps to add to our soap dish. All you need is some glycerin soap (I used black), paper, a printer and of course some fabulous images from The Graphics Fairy. I used a vintage dictionary page with a skull, a...
I found this frame at an estate sale a couple of months ago. At first, I was going to paint it white but the blue hue kind of grew on me. It's kind of a weird, long size so I wasn't sure what to do with it. Finally, I decided to make it into a chalkboard frame. I attached some self-sticking chalkboard paper to a cardboard insert. I simply slipped it in the slots. There...
I popped into Target this morning because my 7 year old needed a new lunchbox. Yup, only 3 weeks into the school year and the zipper on his first one broke already. Doh! I love going down the bargain aisle while I'm there. Today I found this cute little wire basket for $2.50. I've been wanting a small basket for our counter top. I added some Decor Steals French dish towels I ordered a few...
I wanted to make a grain sack towel for fall. You see, I don't have a lot of fall decorations; I seem to have a lot of Halloween decorations. So, I decided to make a quick grain sack using this image from The Graphics Fairy. It's the same one I used on a bucket over the summer and it just screams FALL to me! I used iron-transfer paper and simply ironed it onto this Ikea...
Yesterday I came across a styrofoam wreath that was slated for our last garage sale. It did not sell, so I had it in the donation pile. I'm not a very good wreath maker, but I decided to give it another go by doing a sheet music one for fall. As much as I would have loved to do the scroll-y kinds I've seen all over Pinterest, I just wasn't in the mood to hot...
