A few changes to bring in the spirit of Halloween! There's nothing like a noisy lightening storm to spookify the night. And nothing scares me more than a spider (except a snake)!

I knew I wanted to use them on my Falling Leaves mantle. If you've ever been to my part of Georgia you know that our leaves don't really look like this in the fall. The … [Read more...]
On the coffee table, and you see Murphy making sure I get the correct angle. Sitting on the sofa. Looking back toward the front door. I still need to paint the legs on that ottoman that I made the slipcover for. From the dining room to the living room. Wall behind the sofa. More of that wall behind the sofa. We love to watch t.v. … [Read more...]
Simple.Falling.Leaves Not really a theme, but a subtle hint. The colors of fall! Hydrangeas bleached by the summer sun, No matter their color, I love them. Feathers! Makes me wish for cooler days, so I can have apple cider and not sweat. What do you decorate with? Tweaked a little. A little more. Put a bird on it and … [Read more...]
