There is a mirrored wall in our entry-way. Â Me no likey. Â However, Handsome Hubby won’t let me take them down or cover them. Â It can be a challenge to decorate because everything is reflected and can look too busy. So in getting ready for Halloween, I chose to use light colors and a lot of […]
Using garlic in your Halloween decor – keep your pantry stocked AND keep vampires away.
Garlic was on my shopping list.  While shopping I noticed it was on sale, 3 for $1.  We love garlic and use it a lot. You know who doesn’t like garlic?  Vampires. So I stocked up and incorporated it into my Halloween decor. I had an apothecary jar that was holding big cinnamon sticks. I took […]

The one where the dog messes up my “After” photos.
There is no need to hit the garden center to change up your flower pots. Â Just give them a quick coat of paint! I have two flower pots that have layer upon layer of spray paint on them. Â I dump the plants, paint the pots a new color for the new season, then replant them. […]
