And now fall is over!

Remember this beautifulness!

Thank you Mr. Wind!

Now I bring you ugly, dry, brown winter!

Still no snow here in Colorado. I hear tell that might change this week.

Fall Kitchen

Yes I'm a freak and re-decorate my whole house for the seasons.....and the bathroom too!!

And for a closer look........

The wine glasses with the gold steams are from Pottery Barn.  

The gold wine glasses....Wal Mart...$3.00, SHUT UP.....I know!!  

Not the best quality, very thin glass, they will probably break the first washing!  

But still cute and finished off my Fall Kitchen Decorating!

The Turkey Patter you can find in almost every Antique store. 

Some are more than others depending on who made them and the age.  

I have two, one for display and one for the turkey.

These platters can range from $100 to $25. 

Antique dishes I have collected.  

They baby dish by the plant was my Mom's when she was little.

All of these bottles are from various antique "digs". 

That's it, I'm an Archeologist of Antique Stores! 

I'm serious, sometimes you really have to dig to find treasures.

Some of the milk bottles came from an ex's Grandmother's house.  

He drug me along to clean her pantry!  I was in H E A V E N!!  

I came away with so much great stuff.

Oh and the ex, loooong gone!!  

When I tore out all the kitchen cupboards I added this shelf.  

It's a door off and old pantry from a house that was being tore down.  

To clarify, I frequent houses that are being demolished for some new fancy house! 

I just walk right up and ask what can I have....and I dumpster dive!!  

Yes, I admit it.  

Once my nephew was with me and he hid in the back seat, on the floor!  Big, baby!!

  

I have doors, door knobs, cup board doors, windows, chairs, bottles.......you name it and all for free!

The antique wooden egg box, a gift from my sister....again from her Consignment Store.

If you don't frequent Consignment Stores you don't know what your missing.  

The picnic basket, her store too.......

 

Pumpkins

I found these pumpkins in the Dollar Section at everybody's favorite store, TARGET!

I decided to paint some of them orange.......

Spray painting basket like pumpkins can take forever!  

Note to self.......the paint soaks inside the basket like pumpkin..........

I'm going to be here all day!

In fact the spray painting took so long, I went and had a pedicure in between sprays!

Good fall color, don't you think!  My toes, not the pumpkins!

Lincoln Park After Dark by OPI!  

One of my favs!!!

Home Remodel

Creepy Furnace Room Before
Why would anybody paint a small space dark brown?

During the fix up of the Creepy Furnace Room.
This was pretty bad, lots of bugs and mouse poo!

Ta Daaaaa!!!  
Creepy FALL Furnace Room!!!

Fall dishes, the leaf plates are from Pottery Barn. 
The brown plates and bowl I found at my sister's consignment store!  
The glass pumpkin 40% off Hobby Lobby!

And if you turn around from this....
 you'll see this......

Now remember this was all dark brown!  And see that window, 
I did have Chucky's face in there till it started scaring me.  
There is nothing I can do about this side of the Creepy Furnace Room, unless I add a room, or a basement.   
That's right, my little house only has a crawl space.  That's a whole other blog. 
The crawl space is so bad the Orkin Man gives me his phone to call 911 just in case before he goes in!

Aren't those door knobs great at hooks!!
One of my favorite finds!

Halloween

These awesome candle stick holders I got at an Estate Sale for $10.00

Every house needs a Gargoyle......

Or two.......

I'm really sad Halloween is over!  
On to Thanksgiving!

Don't you just love fall!

These trees are called Ash.  

I can't enough of the colors.

I like to decorate my yard with pumpkins and gourds.  

There were gourds there the other day, a bunch of gourds...

Wonder where they went........? 

Chickens, squirrels, everybody line up!  

Anybody with pumpkin breath is in big trouble!!
