Painted Interior Door

I finally painted the interior side of my front door, it’s BM Midnight 2131.  It took one coat of primer and 2 coats of paint.

I’m loving the way it looks with the staircase.

Now, I officially have a Halloween door….. orange and black !

Here’s a before of the white door……….

Now to paint the foyer and family room….. SW is having a 40% off sale starting November 4th, no more procrastinating !

Fabric Friday

I had so much fun making my last fabric covered tray that I decided to make another one.  This tray was stashed in a closet, not being used and I had scraps of chevron from my kitchen roman shades.

I was running low on Mod Podge and had a gallon of fringe adhesive, they’re both white and gooey so I decided to use them both.  First, I covered the tray with fringe adhesive and smoothed the fabric on.  After it dried I coated the top with Mod Podge. 

The handles were not cut out on the side and I think it looks ok without them.

I know it’s not styled but that’s what I actually keep on it !

Love the way it ties in the chevron from the kitchen.

Tray are everywhere lately, have you made or purchased one yet ?

Fall Mantel

Last year was the first time that I decorated my mantel for fall and was so surprised when BHG included it in their Halloween mantel collection.

This year I decided to put my spooky trees up there.

I added the skeleton in the tree and spray painted my green pumpkin with chrome paint.

A fellow blogger made this printable to share and I can’t remember who it was ! Let me know if it was you………

I got a little excited when I saw how it matched my roman shades !

I wanted to paint the frame black but to my horror I was all out. My son was just glad I painted something a color other than white.

Before and After

Today I’m sharing a before and after of my client’s guest room, with the most frequent guest being her granddaughter.  This was before the bedding and drapery but after we installed the plantation shutters.

The custom fitted, outline quilted coverlet is fun without being too juvenile. It’s a pattern that will grow with her. The striped dust ruffle is gathered and attached to the wood rails with velcro.

It’s much warmer now and flows with the rest of the home.

My favorite part is the twisted iron rod and triple scroll finials from Helser Brothers, Inc.

What’s your favorite part ?
