The Secret To Painting Fabric Lampshades!

If you’ve been reading my blog for even a hot minute, you know that I have a thing for lamps. Light fixtures, too. Anything that lights and includes a shade is what I gravitate to. Well, I can’t say everything because I am choosy when it comes to lamp bases, and light fixtures, however I don’t feel that you need to spend a lot of Do Re Mi on either one. Details are important and you can upscale any lamp shade with ribbons or trims, and even some paint.

Yes, you can paint a fabric lampshade! And I’m sharing the secret and the how-to! Let me show you a budget friendly way to transform a lampshade and make it look like new!!

3 Delicious Soup Recipes To Make This Fall

If there’s one thing I can say about a particular favorite food of mine, it’s that I can eat soup every day of the year. The warmth and comfort of soup during the winter goes without saying, and even in the summer…

Bring.

It.

On.

Fall is no different. Soup to me could easily equal three square meals a day. I guess I’m a soup freak? If that’s a label I have to take, I’ll take it.

But seriously, I love soup. And I’ll take soup any way I can get it: homemade, take-out and even store bought. I do prefer one over the other, but when the moment strikes, I like to make sure I have a few soup recipes in my repertoire.

More soup for you! Let’s make some soup!!

Let’s Go Nuts With A Fall Wreath

When I was growing up, wreaths were only a big deal around the holidays. When Christmas would roll around, all of our doors had a wreath hanging, and so did a few of our walls. I remember my sweet mama would take down pictures so that she could hang a wreath in its place, and all of our wreaths were made by my grandmothers.

I must say, I do follow in my mom’s footsteps with wreaths, but I do extend my wreath hanging season, and I start hanging my them the minute autumn comes into play. I love to create them, whether I use greenery, or pinecones, or faux stems, or even in this case, nuts.

I’m going to show you how to create a fall festive nut wreath that will outshine all of your other fall wreaths!!

Transforming Dollar Store Pumpkins

I challenged myself to transform Dollar Store pumpkins into gorgeous fall decor. The challenge was to reinvent a Dollar Store pumpkin, and transform it into something fabulous. This time, I didn’t cover it with fabric. I didn’t cover it with tape, or decoupage an image.

Not even close. Instead, I went down the easy road, and lately, that is my favorite road to drive. I think you have figured this out about me. When it comes to crafts, I prefer the 3-F kind: fun, fast, and fabulous. No more, no less. Who’s with me on this?! Head on in and see how I transformed a bright orange Dollar Store pumpkin into a fabulous faux stone masterpiece!!
