Laundry Room Makeover Part 1 Farmhouse Cottage Style

I noticed that my post Farmhouse Laundry Room Mini Makeover from way back in 2017 has been popular here of late.

At the time I was not ready to do a full makeover so all I did was change out the paint color of the space.

As you can see paint makes such a huge difference just by itself!

Easy DIY Faux Jadeite Ornaments

Whose already decking the halls? I am! Over the past few weeks I have been pulling my Christmas decor out in anticipation for the most wonderful time of year. I have also been doing a lot of crafting
for this holiday season.

With my love for jadeite and wanting to add to my jadeite collection but not wanting to spend a lot of money last year I attempted to make some jadeite colored ball ornaments for Christmas, the ones where you just squirt the craft paint in the ornament and swoosh it all around. I loved the idea but in the end they mostly turned out to be a hot mess with peeling paint and what not so I never shared. A definite Pinterest fail! LOL.

This year I spied some jadeite colored milk glass ornaments that I fell in love with but with not wanting to spend $13 an ornament my DIY brainstorming began. I would post a pic of my inspiration but I do not want to get fussed at from the company that makes them. Once you see what I came up with you may know which ornaments caught my eye.

Fun Vintage Halloween Christmas Tree

Today I am sharing our fun Halloween Tree. I do not normally decorate for Halloween per say. Thru out the years I will add a little touch of it here and there but never anything large scale. Not that I do not find plenty of cute Halloween decorations. I do! The problem is that with Halloween decor Christmas decor always comes out in stores as well and honestly Christmas decorations win out every time!!:) I have though grabbed a few things here and there over time. I went thru it all and decided that I had enough to create a fun Halloween Tree.

I have a few slender trees that I leave up all year because it is just easier than taking them down and dragging them upstairs of the garage. We have one up in our dining room which I decorated with fall which if you missed it you can click here and view our dining room fall tour. Then there is this one by our breakfast nook/living room.
