I love decorating for the Holidays!
However, I have been craving a twist on the traditional fall decor!
This is what I came up with for my front porch...
This is what I came up with for my front porch...
As badly as I wanted to go to Michael's Craft store and drop $100 on really cool Fall Decor, my tiny budget said
USE WHAT YOU'VE GOT!
So, I whipped out my can of white paint and got busy Shabbying the lighted pumpkin I already had.
(The pink pumpkins I leave inside they have more detailed painting and I will show you more pink on Saturday.)
I also slapped a coat of white paint on my basket and the gourds to help them blend.
Underneath I added my spooky black house, a thrift store find,painted black with a shabby birdbath.
On the front door I used a fabulous feather wreath I found last season at a garage sale for a couple of bucks and tied a black ribbon at the top to give it a little spook effect! Yummy!
I had a leftover spider from my sons costume several years ago, I hung him in the corner.
To the left is a chippy very old wicker rocker with no seat.
To re-purpose this rocker, I added a board to the bottom so I could fluff it up with a cheese box holding a birdouse and lots of faux greenery!
Make it Fabulous for Less Tip~ Look for neat old chairs without their seat. You can find them super cheap in flea markets, thrift stores and abandoned next to a trash can. Seatless chairs make fabulous outdoor holiday displays! They can be painted and fluffed to match your favorite time of year!
Well friends, I hope you have a lovely day!
Smile and be a blessing to those that cross your path!
