Doll Bunkbeds

Love what {Paddywack Designs} did with this table~

Painted it, turned it upside down, and added bedding. Voila~ Bunkbed! I'd use it for dolls.

Autumnise Your Chandelier

{Crafty Chicks} has this great idea for making the chandelier a little more Halloweenish.

Don't you love that lantern!? I'm not a fan of really scary looking Halloween decor, and spiders scare me more than almost anything else in this world, so it's a little creepy for me that it's a spider web. But I still really like it. I think it's the cute ribbon that makes it ok for me.

At my house I've just strung a little leaf garland around my chandelier and I really like the way it's looking.

Game Decor

{Shanty 2 Chic} has some AWESOME tutorials on their blog. I love these game inspired decorations. I would love to put them in a game/play room someday.

Aren't these {Vintage Domino} pieces so cute!?

And I love the look of this {Vintage Bowling} set.

But my favorite one has got to be these {Vintage Dice}! Oh my gosh, so cute!

Awesome easy ideas.

Halloween Tree

 Love this idea from {Woman's Day}. Not only does it make a great Halloween decoration, but it's a very creative way to give party treats away - if you're planning on having a Halloween party. To make the tree, just spray paint a branch black and then anchor it (I'd use plaster of paris). And then cover whatever is anchoring it with black rocks. It would look good just like that, or you could hang decorations from it too, but for the treat bags, you can click on the link and get the tutorial.

Here is another version I saw on {Crafting Chicks}.

She just hung ornaments on it.

Or maybe her kids did. :)
Wouldn't they love doing that!?

Cute idea.

Fall Door Decor

{Thrifty Decor Chick} has these great ideas for decorating your door this season.

I especially love the idea to cover the wreath hanger with pretty ribbon. She just hot glued it on, and it makes it so much cuter!!

She also has a great idea to hang something on both the inside and outside of the door, so you get a pretty veiw from both ends. Cute.

And don't you just love the colors of this piece she made!!? Oh, I love fall!

Simple Cheap Fall Decoration

I'm loving this simple idea from {The DIY Show Off}. If you don't have a lot of money to spend on fall decor, this is something you can still do. All she did was grab a pretty fall leaf outside.

She used twine to wrap it around a plain old white candle that you can get at the dollar store.

So simple, but almost stunningly beautiful, don't you think!? It would be so pretty on a Thanksgiving table. I mean, you could do a lot of these and different heights and sizes and it would look so cool! But one looks so good alone, too. I love it.

Shirt Texture

I've been loving all these pretty textured shirts out there lately. But I'm not willing to pay the price to get some. I feel like I can make some on my own, thank you very much. Here's some JCrew inspiration for you:

And I saw these on {The Pleated Poppy}.

Apperantly she's on the same wavelength as I am.

Here's some inspiration from {My Momma Made It}. These are three individual pins that she can move from shirt to shirt.

Love it!?

And here's some in other colors.

I love the idea of being able to move them around. That just means you can make multiple shirts look fab. She sells these in her store and there's a link from her site (above) if you're interested.

I am going to attempt to make something like these. It really looks easy to do. We'll see how it goes. :)

Fall Front Porch

I love this golden display of fall. This picture seems to capture almost everything I love about this time of year. What a pretty way to decorate a front porch! Love those golden pumpkins. You KNOW they're spray painted. I also love the flowers - I want to say they're probably mums. And the leaves top it off, don't they!? They don't even look bad! My husband would really disagree there...

Construction Party

Do you have a little guy obsessed with Construction and Tools?!

Talk about the perfect birthday party...with the more than perfect cake! I mean, it's pretty amazing, right?

This guy must have died and gone to heaven when he saw all these houses in his backyard all set up for his big 4-year-old bash!

All the party guests got construction hats and aprons with their names on them.

Their jobs were to paint these houses and install chimneys and a few other finishing items.

Do you think they had fun!?

Autumn Entry

Loving this entryway tablescape! Love those golden pumpkins - they must be painted. And all those sparkly candle holders! So pretty! Happy decorating!

Great Quite Book Pages

To view the origin of this post, click {here} and {here} and {here} and {here}.



Here are some great ideas from {Crafty Chicks} and they had three posts to cover all their pages, so check out this one too, also from {Crafty Chicks} and this one from {Crafty Chicks}.

I like this caterpillar idea - they make a pattern with the shapes.

I also like how the cupcakes are a matching game. Each cupcake has that number of sprinkles (buttons) on it.

Love the dressing the snowman

I really like the clothesline, too. Great for fine motor skills, to use those tiny clothespins. I just see them getting lost, though...

Anyway, she has many other great ideas! Check them out!

Faux Mercury Glass Pumpkins

Potterybarn sells these lovely Mercury Glass Pumpkins. They're beautiful, but pretty pricey...

...and they're glass. So chances of them lasting a long time are very slim.



{The DIY Show Off} has a tutorial and great idea for making some similar pretty pumpkins at a much cheaper price. They are also a lot more durable than glass...She just spray painted some plastic pumpkins silver.And then lightly flicked them with brown paint and a toothbrush so they looked splotchy like this:

The result is beautiful!

They may not be glass, but I still think they make a really pretty fall decoration.

Don't you?

Headboard Bench

The Lettered Cottage made this very cute bench using an old headboard as the back. Don't you love the way it looks!? If you want to make one like it, they've posted a {tutorial}. Check it out.
