Halloween Wreath

I love Halloween.

I have been daydreaming how I would like to decorate our home for this great month. I don't usually care for most store wreaths because they are expensive + not quite my taste.

This year I was determined to make my own for the same price as a store bought one. The total cost for this project was about $20 + I am quite happy with it. It can also be changed year to year with different accessories.

Supplies

Grapevine wreath

Spider Webbing

Black spray paint

Spiders + accessories

Instructions

Spray paint the wreath black. I used a semi gloss and love how it looks shiny, but feel free to use any type.

Let dry and continue spray painting it black until fully coated.

After it has dried + the paint has set, you can start decorating it. I took the faux spider web and stretched it across the back of the wreath then added some spiders. Then I put some webbing on the front and attached the rest of my critters.

I hope you enjoy it + consider making your very own wreath this year!

Home Tour: The Office

Well we have been in our new little home for over a month now.

I think it's time to share some bits of it.

Now keep in mind we are still adjusting and creating spaces we like.

I'm not sure if that ever ends.

The office is probably my favorite room so far.

It is one of the first rooms that I have ever really felt reflects our life.

I would love to paint it a pretty pastel color, but our budget is still recovering from the purchase!
Luckily it {and the entire house} are painted in a neutral color that I can live with.

Without further ado..

There are lots of details that still need to be found, like a lovely rug and some more wall decor.
It is our creative space where we make beautiful memories.

I hope you enjoy it!

Repurposed Window Frame

  This is a project that I did a while back, but it sits prominently in our living room. The window frame is something my dearest mother found and kept. I know I get on to her for keeping so many things, but sometimes the "trash" she finds is indeed treasure to someone else. When I saw this window, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. 
  I wish I had a before picture because it was definitely in rough shape. I spent many hours removing dirt and paint from the glass, but I think it was worth it. I painted it a beachy blue color then sanded down the edges to give it a rough look.

  I secured the pictures to the window using double sided tape on the front bottom of the pictures. However, if you were using pictures you wanted to keep afterwards, I would use magic tape and tape it on from behind so you don't ruin the photos. These tapes are pretty invisible and you can only see them if you are looking for them.
  This pictures inside are not taken by me, but I scoured the internet looking for the ideal set. The great thing about this, is that I can change out the photographs when I am bored of them. One day I hope to have a set that I took, which means I need to get to photographing, right?

Hope you enjoy!
