Happy Fall Yall!

I am ready!
 The DIY Show Off  I am so inspired by all the fall  parties going on!
They are having a fall festival so I thought I might as well join in!   Also The French Cupboard is hosting a handmade harvest party!  So check out what I have:

This year I decided to put everything in one place. I don't like things to look cluttered through out my house so I decided to put it all on my bakers rack. I love it!

Here is a little sack type "thingy" or baggy?  I don't really know, I stitched the trick or treat and made a bag out of it. Now I just stuff it with plastic baggies and now it's just decoration.



and I love my froggy! I made this wall hanging myself!

The applique's came from chitter chatter design but the layout is my own design.

And I love my pumpkin patch wall hanging! It is perfect for fall! Thats it for now, thanks for looking!
And click on their blog to get inspired!

pantry redo

So I have been working on refinishing our deck and our newest purchase is this power sprayer!


It is great! It took me about 2 hours to paint 20 railings but only about 30 minutes to paint over 100 using this sprayer! a paint sprayer is well worth it. We bought ours for $100 at Home Depot.
So in between painting the deck (i will blog about that later) I came in to grab something to eat and I decided it was time to do something about these ugly shelves.

When we bought our house the kitchen had black and white tile and fairy princess bordered wall paper (don't ask) lol. And then of course the shelves were lined black and white checkered. I have looked everywhere for (cheap) shelf liner or wall paper but its so expensive and if its going to be in a closet then I don't want to spend that much soooooo, i decided to paint them.
So we have to pull everything out and of course it's a hassle, big mess and even Zuko thinks i'm crazy...
and I just want to throw in the towel, but then I wouldn't get this...
What a difference paint makes! It amazes me every time!
It just looks much cleaner to me.  
And then I painted the inside of the door.  Much, Much better. I kinda want to do some cute geometric design on the inside. I know its pretty plain right now but there is just NO TIME  :(  This is the best I can do while  I work a full time job so to fit projects like this into the mix is a huge challenge.   Just trying to fix up my house one weekend at a time.
Thanks for looking! I'm going to link up to one of my favorite blogs:

Join in on the fun! Until next time....
