Owl lamp makeover
I was not going to spend $10.00 on this lamp. I walked away from it several times but could not leave it there all alone and sad. My husband actually stepped in (probably because I looked pretty crazy hovering over this thing trying to decide if it was worth it, and freaking out anytime someone came near it ) he politely said "Listen you will be mad if you leave it here .. so just pick it up and pay for it already!!" So I did.. who am I to argue with the man!!
Here she is before-sad little orange eyes begging me to make her pretty ...
A can of grey spray paint later and here she is..
I snagged a lamp shade at Lowes for $5.00 . I am going to look for some white and yellow damask fabric to recover the lamp shade.
What do you think? Was it worth the $10.00? I have to admit I kinda love it !!

Some master bedroom updates
I struggle with this room... I can't seem to get it right. I think I am finally headed in the right direction though...
I repainted the yellow cedar chest that I posted about here.. do you want to know the sad part... ok I am going to tell you. It started out white - I should have just left it alone. But what fun would that be ? I repainted the headboard also.. it used to be black. I got the sunburst mirror from family dollar for $10.00. It was gold but nothing some silver spray paint wont fix.
I also remade this pillow cover - original here
My husband and I built these cute little night stand.. maybe someday we will get to building the other one. I am also debating painting this white.. is that too much white?
I got this dresser from the D.I for $15.00 - is was such a score. What a surprise I painted it white!! The frames above the dresser hold printables from Sprik Space and eighteen 25

We are getting our halloween on...
We held out as long as we could.. enough is enough!!! I don't have a mantel- I wish I did if that counts for anything :) But I love decorating on the shelf above our T.V. I tried to keep it pretty simple.. they only knew thing I bought this year was the pumpkin plate from Target and the crow from the dollar store...
Here is the other side of the room...
The spooky tree is my kids favorite ... they move the little spooky ornaments around a hundred times. Look how cute the books and little ghost are .. I got those from my swap partner a couple of weeks ago. I have told you before but I will tell you again just for fun - the swaps are a blast!! Go check out some over the other fun stuff people received here
The pumpkins I made last year.. and did you spy the cute happy halloween banner hanging in the back? Another cute swap gift... I am telling you people sometimes you get the coolest stuff!!
I wanted to add a little spooky to the photo shelves... so I took this little frame from Michaels and added some scrap book paper and a little spider ring!! Super easy...

H to the O
I have had this idea saved for a looooong time.. I found the image at odd girl out - she has seriously inspired me to try new colors and ideas in my home. I love her house and would ask to come move in if I thought my husband could take care of things here with out me :)
Here is hers....
And mine....
I found the letters at Michaels, I could not find numbers to fit so I used this little frame I also found in the $1 section of Michaels...
P.S do you spot the little bit of halloween in this picture - my son loves hiding these little grey rats everywhere to try and scare me.

Pallet Pumpkin...
I have SO many pallet boards laying around. We live by a big industrial warehouse and I see them almost every time I drive by just leaning up against the dumpsters. I can't just leave them there!!
This pallet pumpkin was super simple to create- I just cut the pallet board to length and used my jigsaw to make the rounded edges so it looked more like a pumpkin shape. I also used my jigsaw to cut the leaf out of a pallet board. After I painted it I thought it needed a little something so I stenciled the little "fall" on there and called it good!!

Monogram wall...
Here is my little monogram/mini shelves wall..
I kinda adore it :)
I have been working on this space for-eve-r.. I know its small but I struggled with the layout!!
The wire and map letters are from urban outfitters.. I bought them online. They have the coolest stuff.. I have a wish list like a mile long from that place.
The little ornate F is from hobby lobby - gotta love 50% off. The little shelves came from the d.i - I started picking them up because I loved them but had no idea what I was going to do with them. This is one of those times that I was glad I bought on impulse instead of thinking it through - otherwise my wall would be so sad with out my mini shelf friends!!
So what do you think of my new wall?
