Maybe next year.
I played around with them in the mud room, just to see what would happen.. Love this look!And now I think I’ve found my inspiration for my Christmas Mud Room too!.

Can you tell what I’m going to do?Hint: It’s really obvious..So add this one to the list of cool things I found for free around this house to decorate with.

I love cool junk!Especially when it’s free.Today I’m sharing something sweet, simple, and pretty with you, that I put together last week and that I’m just really enjoying.. All it is: Painted dollar store pumpkins and some milk glass I found at the thrift store the other day..

I learned a couple of things here:.
1) Open your eyes and pay attention at the thrift store!No one loves to paint ceilings, but you can at least keep your sanity.
A lot of the time when people tackle the job of painting a room, they just do the main part of the wall and leave everything else as-is.Sometimes they’ll do the trim too if it’s looking really grubby, but a lot of us leave the ceilings off the of to-do list until they’re looking really shabby.. Like this.. Or this.. Yup.
Those are pictures of some of the ceilings in our old house, thanks to the passage of time and a very leaky roof.Thankfully we had a new metal roof put in last Spring, so now leaks are a thing of the past.
