10 Easy and Creative Fall Decorating Idea

1. Hang the leaves you find outside in your house, to preserve the leaves you can dip them in wax.

2. Go outside and pick some of your favourite leafs and glue them to a white piece of paper, to create fun and easy wall art.  

3. Put some mini pumpkins and branches in a glass vase for a simple centre piece. 

4. Another simple centre piece is a candle placed in a glass vase with some dried indian corn.

5. Hide the unattractive plastic planters that your fall mums come in with a pumpkin that is carved to the right size.

6. Collect leafs from outside and glue them into the shape of a letter, for a personalized door wreath. 

7. Use mini pumpkins as table cloths weights well entertaining. 

8. Go to your locals farmer's market or farmer to purchase a brick of hay. Provides a festive display for your pumpkins. 

9. Make a pumpkin in to the perfect candle holder, and use it for a centre piece.

10. When entertaining, use a curve pumpkin to dress up a plan serving bowl.

Style Mondays

So I decided to go with the new trend of the season and paint my nails grey. I actually really like it, it looks very classic. But after a day I got bored of it and decided to add a little sliver to each nail. Here are some pictures.

I also got a new ring this weekend, the Mother of Pearl Ring By Pandora. I love it!

Isn't it pretty!

Pictures Do not give it enough justice lol


Here is the nail polish I used.



Anyways nail painting and getting my new Pandora ring were the highlights of my weekend, did you guys do anything more interesting? Gosh I have a lot of studying to do I better get back to it :(

From Road Side Garbage to Stunningly Chic

Here is one of the favourite Pieces of Furniture I painted this summer. I found it at my neighbours curb. I think it turned out Stunning.

This is it when I picked it up, and after I took the hardware off. Can you Believe that it actually the original hardware. When I wired wheeled the rusted gold paint away I was left a beautiful nickel finish. 




 After: Lots of Photos








I hoped you enjoyed this Piece as much as I do!

One Of The Many!

This summer I think I have refinished more furniture then I have in my life time. Here is a piece that I started refinishing last summer but never found time to finish it, until this summer. It is old cabinet from a farm house, and I believed it was used in the kitchen to store canned goods. And of course I forgot to take before and after pictures.

This was picture after it has been striped and all the hard work was done, so it is not really a before picture.

Sneak Peak Into My Bedroom Makeover

So I haven't posted anything for about 2 months I have been crazy busy with way too many summer projects and now I am back in university .... so we will see how regular my posting is. To be honest I am worst person at documenting stuff and it doesn't help that I am worst writer and can barley can spell worth my life. So..... on that note I finished painted my bedroom about a month again, but never thought I could post anything because I haven't really done any decorating to make a great before and after. So here is little sneak peak of what my room looks like, be warned it is not even close to being complete. I feel like just painting the room gives a dramatic before and after. Lets see if you agree.

Before

Process of cutting in


 One coat finally done

Beging to put my room back together


This is how it looks currently, I really need to take a new picture. I just took this picture for fun never thought I would use it. But I never got a around to taking a new one. 


This picture shows, the awesome school house light that I got free from a old house that is being torn down :(


Oh and the picture above my bed is my favourite part of the room, it is a ikea paper napkin that I framed. 
At this rate maybe by christmas I will have a full update of the room for you with the cost breakdown. Anyone else updated their bedroom lately?

p.s I forgot to mention that the colour I painted my room was moonlight white by Benjamin moore. I love this colour it is the perfect off white.
