27 more days until Halloween!!

This is my Halloween countdown! Today I officially begin my decorating for this All Hallows Eve event.

I am starting with my mantle...I love decorating my mantle for Halloween as much as I do for Christmas. I typically start by adding pumpkin and leaf garland and various types of faux pumpkins to put the fall feel into the backdrop of my mantle scape.

And then I add the theme of Whitches...I have collected all kinds of Whitches and Whitch related items. One of my favorite items is in the picture to the right...the metal Whitch  piece hanging against the mirror...I actually purchased in Salem, Mass

 A spooky candelabra sets the mood and the light is doubled when place in front of a mirror!

...and even more Whitches are added!



Happy October!!

It's the first of October and it really feels like fall. It is the time of year I start thinking Halloween, thus Halloween Decor. I go nuts for this holiday...I like it as much, if not more, than the kids. I have trunks of treasured Halloween decorations of which I will soon be displaying as I tranform my home into a spooky setting for the end of the month festivities!!!
Happy Halloween Gracie!!!

(mmm...I'm liking that semi-flush mount light fixture...)

Coffee Table

Since it has been raining I have been unable to tackle this coffee table. Upon closer look...the top is most definitely a veneer, so I am really not sure how I am going to approach this. I like the idea of a natural top, I just have to see if there is some way I can preserve it by fixing the little bubbles.

I will have to search the net for ideas on how to do just that.

So for now...I have to wait until we have less moisture in the air!

It's hard to see in this photo but where the wood looks worn away, that is where the bubbling is happening. You can feel the rough edge of the veneer peeling up when you run your hand over it!
