Sharing a few Halloween touches around our house. I still have a few more spooky projects and decorations to add but here's the progress so far. We don't have a mantle, so I decorate the top of our wood corner hutch as if it were a mantle. And here is the hutch. I keep this old typewriter out year round. I just added an old crow to the top. Lots and lots of... Skulls. ...
I was toying around with this little wood frame that I picked up at a local thrift store. First I painted it white. It sat in the garage for 2 weeks until I decided to instead paint it black. All this indecision resulted in a wicked makeover - literally! I used some Halloween-ish cardstock as my background. Then I went over to DaFont.com to spell out the word wicked in some creepy fonts.

After seeing my sister, Kathy (CreativeHomeExpressions) transform a thrift store clock into a beautiful cloche, I was hooked! Like you probably do, I see these clocks everywhere: garage sales, Goodwill, thrift stores, etc. This one I picked up from the Unique Thrift Stores last week for $5.99.

Creepy Halloween Book Stack
Remember those books I picked up last week at our local thrift store? After a couple of coats of black paint and some creepy stickers, here they are now: I found the images on both Pinterest and The Graphics Fairy. I printed the images out onto label paper and simply peeled and stuck to each book once the paint was dry! I have them displayed in our corner cabinet with some other Halloween goodies. Jeanine...
