~what I did this weekend~

this is the story about how one project always leads into another...

Once the living room was painted,

I decided that for a more cohesive look,

the adjoining dining room should be the same color.

{Insert husband rolling his eyes at me}

So this weekend I painted away......

then since everything was down off the walls,

I decided it would be a good time to change things up a bit.

I had a vintage door that was narrow, 20" wide.

I ripped it in half length wise on a table saw

{thanks to my dad actually}

I then ran to Home Depot and bought some wood brackets that I painted out the same color as the wall

{Ralph Lauren: Oatmeal}

I attached the "doors" to the brackets and voila~new shelving!

They are about 6' long so they hold a ton of stuff!

I decided to bring out the Halloween decor, and here you go!

I made the Happy Halloween flag and

you can also see my altered art Halloween piece on the left

{in my etsy shop}
I got these vintage stamps at Faded Elegance in Snohomish

I framed some of our new family photos we just had taken!

I got these glittery skull candle holders last yr.

after Halloween at Pottery Barn, and put crows everywhere!

I brought out some vintage ironstone

that I had buried in the cupboards....

Another crow keeping my nephew company.

You can find these at the dollar tree.....

I don't think my family likes

what is on the menu tonight!

So, what do you think?

Please don't tell me you liked it the way it was before,

I think I might have a heart attack!

Take care, xoxo
