Spooky porch decor and a Halloween Chair.

October 14, 2018 20 Comments

Black chair, Halloween porch decor, diy Halloween project ideas

I love Halloween and it’s always fun to create spooky little vignettes around the house during the month of October. I am not a gory/scary Halloween person, but I describe my decorating as “Poe Inspired” instead.  Kind of creepy but not overtly scary… ravens, black and white color palettes with a small pop of color, […]

A few summers ago I took an old globe that I have made over several times and gave it a beachy-blue ombre paint job.  Today I wanted to show you that same globe with a coastal inspired make-over.  The materials needed for this project?

An easy upcycle project: tinted glass bottles and jars.

May 24, 2017 9 Comments

I recently received a fun challenge: I was given a copy the new Blu-ray Combo Pack for Oz the Great and Powerful.   I was asked to watch it, then to create something that was inspired by the adventures in the Land of Oz.   Well, let me tell you that visually, this movie is stunning. […]
