A few more halloween things!

I am STILL decorating for Halloween, I put a few more things out this week.

I think this little witch is SO cute, I downloaded it here from Centsational Girl.  I love her blog!  It's really a label she made for a beer bottle.  She also made kid friendly labels for juice boxes and water bottles which are adorable!  I put it in a black frame  from from the Dollar Tree and added it to our bar in our Dining Room. 

 Here is a pumpkin that I printed out online from The Graphics Fairy.  I put it in a Dollar Store Frame and added it to our downstairs bathroom.   

I think I am finished decorating for the fall!   Our house is full of leaves and pumpkins.  I don't think Graig can take anymore decorations-ha ha!

Tray makeover

I bought a wooden tray at a yard sale for 25 cents, I spray painted it off white and added a vinyl stick on from the Dollar Tree.  I think it turned out really cute!

I LOVE cheap and easy projects like this!  Happy Tuesday!

Halloween Decorating!

This past weekend I did a little decorating for Halloween!  It might still be a little early but I love getting my halloween decorations out every fall.  

Here is a pillow that I got years ago at Kohl's.  I still love it!  I put it on a chair in our living room.

I added this little trick or treat wooden sign to a wreath that I already had hanging up in our living room. 

I printed out this pumpkin picture from The Graphics Fairy.  I like it because it's "fallish" and not "halloweenish" so I can keep it up until Thanksgiving!

 This is another picture I got from the graphics fairy.  I added the squares of scrapbook paper because the picture wasn't big enough.  I LOVE the colors in this picture.  This is another thing that I am going to keep up until Thanksgiving!

 I went to my favorite fall craft store on Saturday and bought these cute little pumpkins for my glass jar in our kitchen.  I also got my first ever CLOCHE!  I am SO excited.  I am in the process of painting a table baclk in my living room because I think it will my cloche will look better on a black table-ha ha!

I also put out a few other things that I will show later on this week.  Happy Monday!!

This is the life...

Graig has been traveling for his job for a week and a half.  He will be home this weekend thank goodness we all miss him!  Things go much smoother when he is here.

Last night he sent me a picture of this cinnamon roll with only these words 

This is the life... and it had a picture of this cinnabon cinnamon roll-ha!  Those are his favorite and we don't have one where we live.  I think he is enjoying eating out all the time!

Yesterday Brock and I made Apple Crisp.I posted this recipie on my blog last fall and you can find the recipe here.    This is one of our favorite things to eat in the fall.  He DID NOT want me to take his picture so he made a silly face-ha ha!  He does like cooking with me and he likes making things on his own.  I am SO glad that he likes to cook.  His future wife will be very happy that he knows how to cook :)

We don't have any big plans for the weekend.  It is suppose to be chilly so we will probably stay close to home which is ok with me!  I have some craft projects I want to finish and some DVR'd shows that I want to watch. 

Dining Room!

Today Kelly from Kelly's korner is doing a dining room tour! I just painted our dining room and I LOVE the way it turned out. It's not the biggest room in our house but we do spend a lot of time in there especially since we don't have an eat in kitchen.

 

Here's our dining room table with our fall centerpiece and the table set. 

Our huge chalkboard that I put our weekly menu on.  I also just painted two walls in our dining room a robin's egg blue color.  I LOVE the way it turned out.

This is the wall and door way that goes in to our kitchen.  I made this memo board/picture holder at a craft night with my friend using a old shutter!  Our shoes go in the crock because we have little dogs that like to hide our shoes :)

These plates are on the same wall the doorway leads to our kitchen. 

 This is a cabinet that I got at a yard sale for $30!  It is solid wood so my friend Sabrina and I sanded it down and repainted it.  It is my favorite thing in our dining room!

 Here's a close up of our BIG chalkboard.

 Our house was built in 1920 and it has some quirky things about it including that all of our heaters have these heater covers. This is the one in our dining room. 

I hope you enjoyed our dining room tour!  I can't wait to see all of the other dining rooms today.  Happy Friday!!

Fall Mantle!

Today the Nester is doing a fall mantle tour.  I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE her blog. I wish she could come up here and decorate my whole house.  This weekend she is having a yard sale and I mapquested it to see how long it would take me to get there from NY...12 hours so sadly I won't be going.:(  I swear I am not a crazy stalker, but if we lived a little closer I would really try to go, I'm sure she is going to sell some amazing stuff!

I really like our fall mantle because it isn't too fallish.  I only have a few fall things on our mantle but I do like to change it up a lot (like every week-ha ha!)

For my fall mantle I followed the 5 P's
1.pumpkins
2.pictures
3. plants
4. plate
5.pears

Here is a shot of our mantle from the entrance to the room

 Here is a close up of the center of the mantle.  I LOVE the color of this  plate, it is metal and I got it for only 50 cents at a garage sale.  I know it's not a fall color but I wanted to keep it out because I love it so much!

Here's a close up of my glass jars from Ballard Design.  They were a total splurge but I leave them out all the time.  I got the pears from Home Goods.    You can see a plant on an old scale in the background. 

Here's a close up of a picture of Ava.  On the other side I have a picture of Brock.  You can also see a couple of pumpkins and a spiced cider candle from Bath and Body Works. 

Here is a glass candle with leaves.  This is from the Dollar Tree (classy!)  You can also see a plant in the background. 

I got this pumpkin last year.  I love the stars!

 Here you can see the pictures I have of Brock and Ava. 



I hoped you like the fall mantle tour!  I can't wait to see the other fall mantles on display today.  Have a happy Wednesday!

Fall subway art project!

 I got this idea from my friend Janna from high school. She is SO talented and comes up with the best crafts!

I really liked her idea for subway art so I decided to try one of my own.  This was a fun project to make.  I just painted a canvas and then added different scrapbook letters.  When I was done I modge podged the whole thing.  I put it in our kitchen.  I really like the way it turned out!
