HALLOWEEN HOME TOUR | 2022
10/07/2022
I have given a tour of the front porch and the barn decked out for Halloween. Now it’s time to share the indoor decorations. I’m in my happy place when I’m pulling out the seasonal decor on the first day of October which also happens to be my birthday. It’s the best way to spend the day every year. This is how I displayed the DIY aged pumpkin and the antiqued metallic skull I made recently. Fun fact, years ago I used to have a craft booth. The painted boxes were one of the items I sold in the booth. Another fun fact – the cookies aren’t real. But aren’t they cute? I’l have “fresh baked cookies” that will never go bad. I hope you enjoyed the tour. It’s time to enjoy the Halloween and fall decor while I start to brainstorm what I want to do for Christmas...
FRONT PORCH | HALLOWEEN 2022
10/01/2022
I’ve been so excited to put together this year’s Halloween front porch look. I’ve been waiting for sales and stocking up in the off season to create this display and I think it’s one of my favorites yet. If you are local and drive by, let me know what you think! My light-up pumpkin family is from last year. They were originally orange and I spray painted them all white. They do light up but each takes three AAA batteries, the lights aren’t very bright, they don’t have timers and they have to be turned on and off individually each night. This year I got smart and purchased an inexpensive set of tealight candles with a remote and timer and stuck them in each pumpkin. They glow brighter, flicker like real candles and turn on and off by themselves each evening. So much better and cheaper than all the...
In my mind, it’s not officially fall until the first loaf of homemade pumpkin bread is baked. If you...

HOW WE BUILT A POTTING BENCH
09/25/2022
My previous potting bench was an old table I rescued from the trash. It’s lasted many years for me but has seen better days and had developed quite a bow in the middle. It was time for an update. I wanted something with more height and room for decorating in addition to space for actually using it as a potting bench. I looked for ready-made online but nothing was exactly what I was looking for. I knew it was something we could build so I searched for free plans online. This is what we made from free plans found on Ana-White.com. Isn’t she pretty? It’s exactly what I had in mind with enough room for potting plants and pretty touches. I stained the bench with three coats of the same cedar-toned Flood stain I used on the exterior shutters on our house. It has plenty of hooks for hanging...
