Spooky Sprucing

 

I was waiting patiently for the calendar to flip over to October. Now that it has, all the Fall décor is making it’s way out.

I got most of this stuff at Hobby Lobby for 40% off.

I thought those burlap frames looked very Pottery Barn-esqe, but at a fraction off the price. I just printed out the word BOO! to put inside the frame.

My dollar store skeletons made it to another year.

Now here’s a before and after. We have a long way to go on the entrance, but we’ve already shown big improvement. :)

This was the front door when we bought the house. That’s not really the door, that’s a screen door in front of the door. The real door only had one glass square at the top.

This is the front door now. Donnie cut out all the squares and replaced them with glass. He also sanded and stained the door and replaced the hardware.

I got the wreath at HomeGoods and the door knocker online.

I love this door knocker. I think it’s so cool. Hence the close-up.

So that’s where we are right now. Donnie drew up the garage and it’s at the engineer right now being turned into plans. I’m so excited about having a detached garage and driveway I can’t stand it.

  2. Everything looks so great! The door turned out Positively Amazing! I love the idea of updating original features of an older home. It yields such character! So cool and beautiful!
