Even though stores are ready for Christmas in July, I can’t bring myself to put up a single decoration before December 1st. This easy centerpiece helps me transition from fall to winter.
Making a hanging centerpiece for an outdoor Thanksgiving.
How to make an easy DIY hanging centerpiece. A few boards, some rope and a bit of creativity make up an elegant, but rustic focal point for Thanksgiving dinner.
Quick changes for the Thanksgiving mantel. (Decor that does double duty)
I love to change up my mantel for the seasons. A way to do this quickly is to decorate using items that are easily interchangeable or are reversible. Double sided artwork and a little spray paint can make it happen in just a few minutes.

Spooky Spider Candleholders
OK, the last Halloween craft of the year from me, and it’s a quickie. I’m pretty sure you have all of the supplies in your house already. Ready? You will need a pretty glass bottle (I love empty Patron bottles!) or a nice looking empty jar. (If you use a jar, you will want the mouth of […]
The Great Halloween Party Wrap Up! (2012 edition)

Upcycle: easy DIY faux hammered metal planters (with spider web topiaries.)

I do like the sparkle of the mercury glass and silver, and I like the little ravens. I’m still very enamored of the Raven artwork I did last […]
Halloween decor from the produce section…
…and I’m not talking pumpkins. Garlic. It keeps vampires away, right? So you’re definitely going to want to have some around. I used this same little garlic/decor trick last year, and I wanted to do it again. However, this year I knew I needed to glue the spiders to the garlic to ensure they stayed where […]
Re-cover chandelier shades with scrapbook paper.
Remember the upcycled lampshades I did with some cute fabric in the springtime? It’s fall so I was ready for a change… but this time I didn’t use fabric, I used houndstooth scrapbook paper. I had paper left over from my DIY gift bags, and I thought it would be perfect for these chandy shades. […]
