The colors of the season


 
I love Autumn, I especially love the colors of the season.



Here is a look at a few pumpkins I put on the kitchen island.


I bought this wooden pedestal bowl at Goodwill a couple of weeks ago and gave it a makeover.

Then all it needed was some pumpkins!










 
 
 
 
 
 
I would love for you to follow me on Pinterest.  I am working on loading up my Holiday Board with lots of ideas.  It's time to get planning!

A Little More Fall

I'm adding Fall around the house as I get time, and there isn't enough time to go around it seems.

I purchased the fabric pumpkin at TJ Maxx a couple of weeks ago.



"To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under Heaven"
I created this picture in Microsoft Publisher.



A colorful Fall vignette.



Plastic pumpkins, I painted the two white ones.











I used the mesh and ribbon left over from my wreath, shown here.







Just 1 lonely pumpkin!






I did manager to get some paint time in one day this week.  Here is a sneak peek of the China Cabinet re-do. 










Almost time for the FUN part:  Distressing & glazing.


Follow me on Pinterest to see where I get some of my inspiration!

TV Armoire Inspiration

So, I got this great buy on a TV Armoire over at Goodwill.  It is now home and I'm looking for some inspiration.
 
Will it house our TV in the  Living Room?
Maybe our TV in the Bedroom?
What about a linen closet?
 
 

 
Here is what it looked like in the store (with my phone camera)
 
 I turned to my Pinterest board for some ideas and here is what I came up with.
 
 
I love the "Shabby Chicness" of this piece.



 I love everything about this one!



I really like the use of tin tiles for the background.
 
 
Which one do you like?
 
 
 
To see these and other Armoire inspirational pieces, visit my "To Make Our House a Home" board on Pinterest.
 
 
I didn't get the chance to work on the China Cabinet this weekend.  It is getting close to completion, but I couldn't find time in between this...
 
 


High School Football
 
 
and this....
 
Helping with the PeeWee Cheerleaders
 
 
And this...
 
PeeWee Football.  My son is the center (the player with his hand on the ball). 
 
Every weekend is a Football Weekend in our house and I love every minute of it!  Although I would love to have some time to spend in the garage with a paint brush in my hand.
 
 
Have a great day!
