DIY Pumpkin Planter for Fall
I'm longing for simplicity... and wondering how can I make things easier on myself. Unloading and dispersing a large tote of Fall items throughout my house is not going on the "to do list" this year! I saw this Kraft paper style pumpkin from a few years ago sitting in the tote, and it spoke to me (this pumpkin is originally from Hobby Lobby). I loved the color and it felt clean and calm... so I pulled it out.
“Keep it Simple” for a cozy Fall home
Fall is amazing, it's such a cozy season! Within days, as the weather cools off, we are ready to pull out our sweaters and buy all the pumpkin things!

I pulled out my "Fall Decor" bin and said...ok... let's simplify here.

Perfect Navy Painted Dresser
Sometimes I wonder how I was lucky enough to scoop up THIS piece or THAT piece... I've found some good ones over the years of refinishing.

Navy Blue wins again! 💙
One of my favorite things about a furniture makeover is the before and after photos! I always wonder, how many people would just walk by this dresser in a thrift store, or get rid of it because it's old and they've just had it forever. What do you have in your home that could use a makeover?
