Beware of Halloween

I wanted to start decorating for Halloween this week-but in between work, basketball practice, football practice, doctors appointments, etc... it has been a slow process! I did fill up my big hurricanes with candy corn, popped in my spider candles, and wrapped it in spider web ribbon.


& used the left over ribbon for my lamp shades

Hopefully, I have some time later this week to complete some more projects! What fall decorating projects are you working on?

Mind Your Manners

Instead of hanging up a piece of paper with scribbled down list of rules for our kids, why not turn it into a piece of art? For one of my favorite clients, we had a local artist design a fun, colorful painting to remind her boys (& some adults) about good table manners. Their home interior is Mexican Hacienda style with lots of warm, bright colors. I think it is the perfect addition to her breakfast nook! What style would you create for your family rules?
