Well it's about to start looking like Halloween in our house, so I'd better get to showing you all our Fall mantel!

{Thrifty Thursday} An IKEA Desk Makeover
I purchased an IKEA desk sometime ago and had visions of what I wanted it to look like dancing in my head. I decided on diagonal lines and wanted a pop of color. So on the black brown surface I thought that yellow would look good...it ended up looking like a construction traffic sign. Oops! Lesson learned. So I stripped the whole table down and was loving the earthy look of the particle board...which I'm sure might be a first of all time. LOL! I decided to go with a very simple, ...

{Thifty Thursday} A Fall Frame
A few months ago I posted about some of my weekly local Arizona Goodwill thrift findings. Among that group of items was a gold wooden frame I picked up for just $2.99!

Now I do have some furniture projects in mind, but I ... Read More about Annie Sloan Chalk Paint Pumpkins
{Project Home} DIY Dollar Store Fall Garland

I simply lined up the leaves, red and green alternating, used a small piece of tape to hold them together for the time being, and sewed a simple stitch through the center. The project took me less than 30 minutes and I was happy with the result! It's starting to look like Fall around here! You know, until all ...
