Dream room!

I just saw this one a blog and fell in love with this headboard. If I could have any headboard in the world- right now it would be this one- I am loving the colors in the room too.

A Big Difference

Before

I had this buffet cabinet that I bought at a thrift shop for $30 and refinished years ago ( someday I will have to post the b4 pics- hideous!) and have since changed the wallpaper panels a few times in it. I wasn't sure if I liked it this time after I put some toile wallpaper in it (last spring) that I had left over from my daughter's headboard- but keep getting a lot of compliments on it. I decided this week that I like the look of it in the living room, however- the search for fun- even somewhat trendy wallpaper has begun. (just keepin' my eyes open!)

After

I think it goes nicely with the new coffee table. The black grounds the lightness of the wallpaper.

Dollar store project

I saw this on THIS blog and fell in love with it. I just bought pumpkins rom the $ store. Cut them in half and tied some ribbon I already had around them. Next, I glued them to a dollar store plate. I love the shape of that plate.

Spooky Dishes

I honestly don't know where I got this idea. It might be one that I saw somewhere or one that I created from a bunch of silhouettes that I have seen. Either way- I love the way it turned out. I found white plates at Goodwill for 25 cents each and printed out pictures from my computer. Then traced the pics onto clear shelf liner using cabon copy paper and then I cut out the shape and put it on the pate. (Kinda like making your own sticker) Next I took black spray paint and srayed the whole plate. When it was dry I peeled off the sticker and touched it up with a paint pen.

The shelf was also a find from goodwill. It was wooden and super ugly. I sprayed it black and let my daughter help me put silver rub-n- buff on the edges and detail.

Spooky Decor

I haven't decorated for Halloween in years (fall, but not Halloween). This year I decided that I really like the "Goth" look. Maybe something that you would find in Dracula's castle. So I went thrift shopping and $ store shopping and found a bunch of things and got a bunch of ideas.

Here is one of them:

I got the ideas for the candles HERE. I can't tell you how cool they look in person. The pics just do not do them justice.

I found these at a thrift store for $2 each I spray painted them black to give them that goth look I was going for.

This was just the beginning!
