Halloween In The Foyer & A New Mirror

Today I am sharing more of our Halloween decorations! .. this time in the foyer. Since we did the remodel in the spring I have wanted a mirror to go above the table in the foyer. On Friday we found this one at Homegoods , and I think its perfect..

It is off white , distressed , and perfect :) ! On our stair railing I added some small Halloween signs with the leaf garlands and berry garlands.

I found the picnic basket at an estate sale for $5.00 .. I added 2 scarecrows scarecrow , fall garland and a big sweater pumpkin..

When we were painting the oak hutch for the kitchen , we also gave the table a new coat of paint.. On the table , I have a big glitter pumpkin on top of a candle holder, a wire cloche, and a couple new cross stitched pieces. Some little sparkly jack-o-lanterns , sweater pumpkins and of course a silver tray :)

This is what you see when you enter our house now.. Before the remodel there was a wall on the right, and the doorway to the kitchen was smaller. Now its totally open into the living room.

This weekend we headed down to Kentucky to the Alabama @ U.K. game.. The stadium was packed! Since our son is on the team ( he is a redshirt) he gets 4 tickets to each game.

There he is #90 on the sidelines.. It was great to see him and a fun 2 days !

Thanks for stopping by ! Hope you have a great week!

Pumpkin Picking 2013 and Our Fall Front Porch

Saturday was one of my favorite days of the year ! Pumpkin Picking Day ! We pick pumpkins at the same farm we pick strawberries from .

Saturday was their first day open for the season so we had to be there when they opened !

We got lots of white , blue and pink pumpkins... and of course the usual orange ones! Tons of gourds, and lots of dirt and sweat :) We had 3 generations of pumpkin pickers this year ! My husband, myself, my daughter, son # 2's girlfriend, son#1 , daughter-in-law,and their 2 boys. We had a great morning , but boy were we tired and dirty !

So many pumpkins and only so much room in the suburban ! My son and his wife and my daughter split a load.. and we gave my other sons girlfriend some of ours for in front of their apartment.

You have to pack them in your car very strategically to get the most pumpkins :) This year we have 95 in our yard .. I know ...crazy ! Not to mention the 4 garbage bags of gourds !

We always surround our front planting bed.. put them on the porch .. put a few in our mailbox planting bed.

I haven't done a post on our Fall front porch yet , and tomorrow its transforming to A Halloween Porch.

I used my Fall sign , some scarecrows, wood crates, mums and pumpkins.

I painted the FALL sign last year on one of my old craft show shelves..They are perfectly distressed from so many years of hard use :) The other side of the board I painted the word JOY and use that on my Christmas porch :) I got the garland above the door at an estate sale last week , The same one I got the dishes for my hutch at ! It was $ 2.00 .. The tall skinny wooden scarecrow I got at a craft show this fall.. Don't mind the hoe handle on the right .. :)

My Fall wreath was poofed and fluffed from last year.. It has gold decomesh , wired burlap ribbon , animal print wired ribbon , orange sparkly ribbon, sunflowers, copper colored leaf pics, berry pics.

Thanks so much for stopping by ! I appreciate all your visits and nice comments ! Come back tomorrow to see my Halloween Porch ! Come follow me on Instagram , Facebook, and Pinterest ! Links in the sidebar ..

FALL Book Page Banner on the Mantel

Happy Fall ! I have been doing a little Fall decorating.. Today I am going to show you the Fall book page banner I made for my mantel..

I cut letters out of cardstock with my cricut.. I made the letters 6 inches wide and 10 inches long. I cut each letter out 3 times.

I hot glued the letters together and then used mod podge for the adhering of the book pages. both underneath and on top.

I needed something for them to hang from so I cut burlap ribbon in half and hot glued to the back of the letters. I added little burlap knots at the bottom.

I thought they needed some "bling" so I used some glitter spray I had in silver.. then I hot glued around the outside edge and sprinkled silver glitter.

I used a piece of hardwood floor I found in the garage and glued the burlap to it so it could hang from the mantel.

Our lighting in the family room isn't so great but they look amazing.. especially with the glitter :)

I used sweater pumpkins that I made last year and also the Fall Subway Art ..

I have a couple velvet pumpkins , some dried hydrangeas ( love them ) , lanterns , leave garlands

a scarecow sign and scarecrow.

I still want to add a couple small white sweater pumpkins so it looks like a trip to the Good Will is in order.

Yesterday my daughter and I went to a local flea market. We got a case of 12 vintage blue mason jars for $5.00 ! The big blue mason jar he charged us $1.00 for ! They are both Ball jars and Atlas jars. We split them up so we each got 6 new blue jars plus the big one :)
