A old (and throughly cleaned) chicken feeder becomes a unique and beautiful centerpiece when filled with plants. #SpringFever

  • The names of the brooms are a little tricky to read, but we have the Haunted Hog, Frightful Flyer, Cauldron Lowrider, Swift Sweeper, and The Wicked Witch.
  • I did a little online research to figure out five different broom designs. Seeing them all together makes sense, but it was harder than I anticipated to come up with five styles. 1

Should I paint this room a more neutral color?

I recently made slipcovers for all of the furniture in this room, thus changing the color scheme from red and yellow to whites and neutrals. But the walls are still a yellow color. We are moving soon, so don't want to invest in new paint for us, but do you think I need to change the wall color to sell the house? For more photos of the room, you can click on the blog link.

  • Cheesecloth makes perfect (and more elegant - if that's possible) looking spiderwebs!
  • Use grasses and greens for an instant autumn feel.
  • Remove the fabric from a lamp shade and add a flickering flame bulb.
  • Spend a little extra for a fabulous faux pumpkin that you'll have for years.
