Made My Own...

I recently got an awesome Paula Deen signature pot set from my Mom for my birthday & they are orange and oh so cute!! I didn't want to throw them in the cabinet and wanted to be able to look at them whenever i wanted and for others to see their cuteness too. So I decided to find a pot rack....

Chalkboard'ing

I have some old canisters that I have used for about 7 years now. I thought they could use a little minor makeover. So, I taped off a square on each one and sprayed them with chalkboard paint. Then I cut out an accent design on my Cricut for the edging. They turned out cute. A nice change from the plain white they have been for so long......

Plain....for now

I have a pretty simple and plain white mantle with an awesome black glass tile look surrounding it that matches my kitchen. I have been really contemplating on painting my mantle black to give it pop and then painting the wall a creamy warm color to accent it, but haven't been brave enough to attempt to paint it! So in the mean time I just use my Cricut to cut out cute sayings and spice it up with that. Here are some pics of last year at Christmas and what it looks like this summer. And of course I have a super spooky cute makeover I am going to give my mantle next month!.......

Oh the ideas are brewing...

I absolutely love my black front porch furniture! The creative designs are endless! I currently have it set up with red cushions and pillows, but the fall is near and I do have wonderful fall inspired creations that are brewing in my head. And I guess I forgot to mention, Halloween is my absolute favorite time of year!! And I do mean FaVoRiTe!! With that said you can bet there will be an orange & black spooky cuteness theme going on in the weeks to come, so be sure to look out for that. I CANNOT wait!!
