Minecraft Jack O'Lantern
My youngest son carved his first pumpkin by himself this year! He is obsessed with Minecraft & he picked the pumpkin from the game. I think it turned out great! What did you carve this year?

Leather or Fabric
Currently, I am working on 2 family room projects. One family only wants leather for their sofa, the other only wants fabric. Which do you prefer?

Sassy & Seven
Yesterday I worked with one of my long time clients on her darling 7 year old daughters room! She has bright & fun personality & a sprinkle of sassy! We started with ready made bedding from Jonathan Adler's collection from JC Penney & we built the room around that! It's going to be a fun & happy room with pink ceilings & orange accents!

Boo-yah!
After we got home from "booing" I asked my 15 year old if he was getting to "old" for this. He said, "Mom, I love doing all this fun stuff with you". He made my heart melt-guess I might be doing something right after all.

What Does The Fox Say Pumpkins
I know a sweet little girl who is currently obsessed with foxes & the "what does the fox say" song. She also loves all things cute & not scary for Halloween. So I thought I would surprise her with a pumpkin fox! Well, two foxes because I didn't know if she wanted a boy or girl. So...I created Farra & Felix Fox-the cutest fox pumpkins ever!
For Farra, I added polka dot bows to her ears & a little sparkle blush with glitter & pink paint. Cause every girl loves a little sparkle!
(Linked to The DIY Party, The Great Halloween Link-up, The Sunday Showcase, Show & Tell Saturday & Link Party Palooza)
They were so simple to make. Start with a couple pie pumpkins (I just liked the shape of these best, you can choose whatever type of pumpkin you like). Wash the pumpkins & dry thoroughly. I painted a base coat & a few more for good coverage. (Allow plenty of dry time in between coats).
Once the base coats dry, attach your fox felt ears. I used orange & white felt. I cut 2 sizes of ears with the orange being slightly bigger than the white. I glued the white ear onto the orange & attached the ears to the pumpkin with a small pin. I then painted the face on in a white heart shape.
I glued a small black Pom Pom on for the nose & drew the eyes & mouth on with a black sharpie. And viola, Felix the Fox was born!
I loved the way they turned out! Which is your favorite: Farra or Felix? And my kids want to know: what does the fox say?
Master Bath Window Treatments
We installed this beautiful custom cornice in my clients master bath yesterday. Several people have asked me what to do with glass block windows. I simply treat it as a regular window. We didn't want to block any of the natural light from the window so I simply designed a cornice to soften & add some pattern to the space. My client loves the way it looks-what do you think?

Game Table Chic
It is difficult to find great looking game tables for client projects. That is, until now! Restoration Hardware has these cool ping pong, skee ball, foosball & pool tables. Now these would be the perfect addition to a game room! Which one would you like?

Haunted Gingerbread Houses
We had a group of friends over last night for a fall potluck dinner. I always like to plan a fun seasonal activity for the kids to do. I got four kits, one for each family. The kids from each family worked together on their haunted houses. I think they did an amazing job!
(I apologize for the poor quality but I snapped them with my phone rather quickly). I also gave out prizes for the best haunted house-which is your favorite?

Halloween Lanterns
Working on decorating my front porch today! I love our lanterns-we put them up every year & I always try to find new places for them every year.
This year, they're hanging out in our front porch.
How are you decorating for Halloween?
