A Seattle Seahawks chair make over with NFL Duck Tape.

January 27, 2014 6 Comments

My son Conner is a huge Seattle Seahawks fan. My son Grant is going through a phase where he is peeling things.  Stickers and labels… paint on the wall… plastic laminate on a toilet seat… I don’t know what has gotten into him, but I think  we broke him of the habit.  (And Conner got […]

December 24, 2013 5 Comments

Where did  December go?!  How is it possible that it’s Christmas Eve?  For the first time in years my shopping isn’t done, and there are a couple of bare spots in my home that don’t have that Christmas magic.    I thought I’d share a little inspiration for some last minute Christmas decorations.   It’s […]

Quirky Christmas decor: a winter chair makeover with paint and epsom salt!

December 20, 2013 2 Comments

Back in October, I used scrapbook paper and paint to transform a boring thrift store chair into a spooky Halloween “Sit for a Spell” chair to use as part of my Halloween decor  by our front porch.    I decided to give the Halloween chair a winter holiday makeover and use it as part of […]

Thanksgiving, tablescape, centerpiece, fall, autumn, entertaining

I just boxed up the last of the Halloween decor and now I am thinking about ideas for our Thanksgiving table decor.  We host Thanksgiving each year, and I think last year’s decor might have been my favorite: I loved the hanging centerpiece and the white, beribboned pumpkins with just a touch of bling. A […]
