In the kitchen of my dreams, there would be a big table, just like this with black Windsor chairs right in the middle of the room instead of the islands that most kitchens have these days.
I don’t even remember readjusting the lamp shade as I was taking these pictures, but it seems like it’s moving in every one!Just another little touch of imperfection around here!
Migrating geese, roosters, weather-vanes in general, they just all give off a fallish vibe so they got to stay right where they were!What could be faster or easier than that?In the dining room, I just used some more baby pumpkins and some fake fall botanicals out of my bins in the basement, and suddenly the whole room was seasonally-appropriate!.
I’m pretty sure this whole room was fixed up on one 5-minute decorating break on one day.. See the way these catch the light and actually look better with sun shining through them?That’s how you know they’re the good ones!
The really cheap ones always seem to look terrible if you look at them up close.
I like to grab a few branches of these good fake branches at the end of the season when they’re 90% off at the craft stores and just stick them in my basement bins for the next year.So I painted over it and grabbed some wooden letters from the craft store instead..
I hot glued some ribbon that I had in my stash around the sides to cover the raw edges of the MDF.At some point I also added the clothes pins on in rows of three with hot glue as well.. Bam!
Just like that, a fun new advent calendar was born!.The bags are just plain white bags, stamped with some silver ink and a Christmas stamp, then I wrote the numbers in by hand.
