Ding Dong the Witch is In

Here a few pictures of fall decor around my home. I made the hat out of newspaper!!


Pumpkin seed label and Keep Calm print I got from Graphics Fairy! My great grandmother Lois Laws made the clock from thread spools she got from the sewing hall she worked at. And the sewing machine was hers too. I think its safe to say crafting and creativity run in the family.

Haunted House Luminary by Harry Slatkin I got at Bath and Body Works!!
Hope this put everyone in a fall spirit! HAPPY FALL Y'ALL!!

Shabby Chic Table

I purchased this table for $10 at a yard sale and wasn't too keen on the dark wood look so I took a chance and this is how it turned out!
This is the table before (excuse the mess in the background it was a crafting day:)

I first sanded it and roughed it up. (Excuse the blurry picture as well:)

I then used a off white paint that I had on hand and used the dry brush approach and lightly spread paint on the table sparingly.

This is what it looks like. Then I took a more beige white and just kinda spotted it around the table in random places. Next I sanded all the edges and the edges of the drawer and exposed the wood. Lastly I used fruitwood stain and rubbed all over the table then wiped it off to give it a more aged look. Viola!! Shabby Chic Table on the Cheap!!
