Yes, yes, more pumpkins… Does it make a different that these are little guys and not from the Dollar Store…? No? These guys started out as little orange fakers. I sprayed them with Krylon’s silver metallic paint, then took a black Sharpie to add a little contrast to the stems. Then they just got dumped […]
A spookified dining room chandelier.
In keeping with yesterday’s Halloween lampshades, I thought I’d show you my spookified dining room chandelier. It normally looks like this… I’m going to recover them for Christmas, but am too lazy to do it for Halloween. Weird, I know. (Click here for a simple tutorial on how to do yours) To add a bit […]
Halloweenify your lampshades.
OK. I admit it. I change out the lamps on my dining room buffet seasonally. (Don’t you judge me! It could be worse! I could be addicted to handbags or shoes or seasonal dishes! Leemealone!) Anyhow, for Halloween, the black with the woven shades needed to go, and the silver with the white shades had […]
More Halloweenishness: a Dollar Store entry way.
There is a mirrored wall in our entry-way. Me no likey. However, Handsome Hubby won’t let me take them down or cover them. 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 […]
If Edgar Allan Poe had been given some contact paper & a Cricut… (DIY Halloween Artwork)
…he probably wouldn’t have done anything with it. But here’s what I did: I made Halloween artwork based on Edgar Allan Poe’s poem “The Raven” I used a 1/4 inch plywood board, primed it, then painted it with Kylon’s Metallic paint in Nickel. I used my Cricut and contact paper to cut out the first few […]
My Halloween wreath….all it’s missing is a whip.
My Halloweenishness knows no bounds. (But I fear that my husband’s patience will soon run out if I don’t get my Halloween bins cleaned up and put away.) We had a rare California storm yesterday, so I worked on a couple of things inside the house… including my Halloween wreath. I had took a regular […]
A Zebra Striped Pumpkin. (More fun pumpkin crafts.)
OK, I told ya I was on a pumpkin binge right now. I made a flannel covered pumpkin, a punker pumpkin, some pumpkin house numbers and now… a Zebra Striped Pumpkin. I may, in fact, have a bit of a pumpkin problem. Thanks to zebra print duct tape, this entire process took me about 3 […]
A super duper fast way to pot an orchid, and a Keepin’ It Real photo confession.
I’ve mentioned previously how much I love orchids. I don’t have a Brown Thumb, per se, but it isn’t exactly a Green Thumb either. People are often under the impression that orchids are a pretty delicate flower… hard to grow… easy to kill… Not. True. They’re cheap. In my experience, I’ve found that Trader Joe’s […]
Make your bad photos work to your advantage.
I love photos! One of my favorite items to use when decorating my house is photos. I have never been one to line the hallway with my kids’ school portraits (not a criticism if you do it… to each his or her own…). We haven’t had a whole lot of family portraits taken (the last […]
