DIY Fall Decorations

 Today was a great day of crafting! Finally made some wooden candy corn decorations that I have been wanting for awhile. It just so happened that as I was perusing the oops paints (this happens every time I'm in a paint store) there was an orange and yellow, and they were perfect fall-ish hues. The paints cost $1.50 all together and the lumber was also a steal in the bargain bin for $0.51. Why Home Depot charges 51 cents for the dinged up wood, I have no idea, but I love it. So, all in all, this easy DIY project cost $2.01! If you can run a saw and a sander and have an afternoon, your house can be overtaken by candy corn!

I Love this barnwood bird house that Elaine made for our wedding. And believe it or not, it matches ALL of my decor! hehe

Heads Up!



This side table is a fun little yard sale purchase with a makeover.  The top had a perfect lip on it that would hold something well, so I decided to go with pennies. Three coats of different colored paint, (teal, chocolate and tan) some light sanding, a little new hardware and boom, there you have it.  Now all I need to do is find a mate to make tails.

Graffiti Love





For some crazy reason, I have always loved graffiti.  Now, hear me out, it has to be well done and preferably on a train or the side of an old brick building.  The more colors the better!  A few days ago I stopped by the trains down by the river to snap a few shots.  I love how they turned out and cant wait to incorporate them somehow in a project.
