Halloween


Halloween is getting closer and honestly i don't like the trick-or-treating part, but when it comes to putting up all my Halloween decorations, that is my favorite. Last year we couldn't put up our grave yard 1 because the dog thought the skeleton was a real bone and thought he could chew on them all he wants, and 2nd the ground was so dry and hard it was really hard to get the tombs to stay in the ground. Well this year with all the rain we have been getting that make it easy to get them to stay, and we fixed the fence so Memphis stays in the backyard. 
 Instead of having Halloween decor all over the house, i have decided to have it in one location and i honestly think i like it this way much better, and every year i will add to it. :D

Corner


My phone is really being dumb so i cant show you the before picture, but as some of you know i am always complaining about how i don't have enough shelf space for pictures, floral, etc... well i remembered i had an iron rod shelf upstairs in the spare bedroom and after spray painting the coffee table i totally had a light bulb and i knew i had some paint left over so i carried it out side, and started painting, and i love the way it turned out. Before it was just an ugly cream and light green color, and now it is a dark brown, and really looks nice. Totally in love with it. :D

Project Crazy

I went project bonko I hated my door, and I hated how i did my coffee table the first time, so we went to Home Depot got some door paint, and polycyclic spray can for the table.
First i will say the door paint freaking stinks sooooo bad. It is strong good thing doors can come of hinges or our house will still smell. Anyway I went with black because this way when i have a wreath or some sort of door decor it will match with any color + if i went vibrant colors then it will really make it pop. :D
2nd recently I did my coffee table, and i liked it for awhile, till i really got tired of it, and noticed so many mistakes that i had made i just had to fix it. Chris and I put our heads together, and came up with a much nicer looking one, with better design and so on. + we painted the bottom part of the table a dark walnut and man oh man did that make a difference as well. and spraying the polycyclic paint made it even better, cups, papers ETC didn't stick to it any more. :D has more of a gloss look and WOW i just absolutely love it. Family say i could make money doing this for friends and family which is true, but take lots of patience and the motivation to want to do it. It made the room look so elegant and nice not like some slap on job and call it good type of thing like before.
I also have a few other projects I am working on and will post them soon after this one. I hope you gets lots of ideas/inspiration from seeing what kind of ideas i come up with and make. :D
