Home : Pumpkins Go Chic

Fall is in full swing in our home and I love it!  From spiced candles and treats, to a fire-lit living room at night, the only thing that's missing is fall decor.  {I sold all of my stuff in FL before our big move.}  

Today, I picked up a few pumpkins at my local grocery store and hope to make them chic.  

From glitter to paint, the options are endless.  I'm not sure just how I plan on displaying my fabulous pumpkins, but I'll be sure to share once I decide.

Here are a few photos of inspiration...

Are you planning to decorate with pumpkins this year?

Home : Shelf Lining

Fabric, wrapping paper, and wallpaper - what do they all have in common?  They've all been used to line drawers.

While I love the idea of dazzling your drawers and giving them a personal touch with liner paper, lets face it - it's so incredibly difficult to find pretty liner paper.  I've searched high and low for attractive liner paper and I always end up empty handed.

{Truth be told, I saw this on pinterest and was shocked - it's the only cute lining paper I've seen, but it could easily get pricey trying to line an entire set of drawers @ $25/6 pieces.} 

I admire my girlfriends who modpodge fabric or wrapping paper to the bottom of their drawers, but I don't have the time or desire to deal with the mess of all that.

My favorite method?  Wallpaper.

It's thick enough, sturdy enough and comes in an array of beautiful designs.  And it's not impossible to find a bargain if you have a lot of lining to do.

I've seen tutorials on using spray adhesive, but I recently read that double sided tape does the job just fine.  So girlfriend, find yourself a drawer that needs lining.  Find a chic wallpaper print and get to work!  Those drawers are just dying for a facelift!

Decorating With Wooden Pallets

I was out and about running errands yesterday afternoon and while crossing the bridge, I saw a large truck carrying a major load of wooden pallets.  For a solid minute, I debated flagging the man down and asking if he'd like to share his pallets - ha!  Don't worry, I didn't do it....but I was certainly tempted.  I've seen so many cool diy projects consisting of minimal hardware, paint and pallets - so simple!  From bed frames to headboards, coffee tables to book shelves, I'll share a few of my favorites.  Have you done anything with pallets?  If so, I'd love to see/hear about it.  Also, don't forget to enter our giveaway - contest ends Thursday at midnight.  Enjoy!
