Halloween Festiveness

I have always envied the corn stalks my family puts up in Illinois. So in true Illinois, corn making state, tradition I went on a hunt to find corn stalks to tie to our front columns.

The corn stalks and mums were my starting point this year. After that, I incorporated all my other decorations and it turned out so festive and gorgeous.

On to the inside......

I feel like I might be missing a box of decorations, but I could definitely remain festive without that box, ha!!!!! I took some green, purple, and bright orange out of the mix last year as it just doesn't flow with our style and regular decor.

I love my little couples,.....skeletons, mummies, and scarecrows oh my!!!!!

I can't wait for the most festive week of October with lots of plans and fun! Any good suggestions for a little Halloween get together?

Cruisin'

One of my best friends is getting married so in getting married style we had to have the bachelorette party. Her and her fiancé met on a cruise ship while both working, so going on a cruise was very fitting! We took a short little 3 day (booze) cruise. It was a lot of fun, my first time on ship/cruise, and I'm glad it's over.....wedding time! Brandon had the kids all weekend and did an amazing daddy daycare job, even with activities and sports and all! He's super dad in my eyes!

Weekend project

I have had this vintage window frame for quite some time now. I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it but have received lots of opinions and feedback on how to mount the picture. I had heard mount the picture on something sturdy before stapling it to the window, cut the picture into 6 boxes and have it touch the glass since there's a gap in the back, or my original and easy idea of just stapling the picture to the back of the window. That is exactly what I did and it was the easiest thing ever. I cannot believe I waited so long to get it on and up! I am completely obsessed with it and finally have a wedding picture up in our house. On to the next project......

Tour de Zeke's Room

We have been working on Zeke's room for what seems like forever. We painted and set up his big boy bed tons of blog posts ago. His room is now presentable. I say presentable because we still have some things we would like to do, add, and buy! We decided on a vintage vehicle theme. It went from vintage cars to vintage vehicles because, of course, the themes I choose are not so popular. I found a vintage car print I liked on etsy but everyone said the fabric was too hard to make as sheets or the cut they had wasn't long enough for a full size bed. After all that I thought going with solid colors would be a great idea. I ordered a duvet cover, pillow shams, a bed skirt, and a blanket from Restoration Hardware. I got them home, put them on the bed with some navy blue sheets and thought "eh"!!! I kept it up for awhile but hated it!!! It was so boring, the down comforter wouldn't stay in place in the duvet cover, and it was so heavy and hard Zeke didn't want to ...
