The next few weeks are shaping up to be that way too with quite a few room makeovers and a big bathroom reno in the works.
Cutting out the pockets was pretty simple, especially since the “inspiration” model had slightly imperfect looking pockets too.It just makes it look more “haunted”!.
We cut out a few ghosts, pumpkins, and (the piece de resistance!)a little spider, stuck em’ on, and had some instant Halloween fun to hang up anywhere we wanted.. To mimic the different fonts and types of letting and numbering in the inspiration version, we used a mixture of scrap booking stickers and hand-drawn numbers..Overall, the effect is not too bad!.
The time commitment overall was probably about 2 hours spread out over a few days.. Well worth it I’d say to start a new tradition that just may last for years!.Go ahead and start your own new tradition this year too!I just can’t stop fiddling with Kennedy’s room.
I know I said it makes me crazy because of the weird yellow carpet making everything look wrong even when it should like right, but I guess I just love to torture myself..
I guess on the plus side of the matter is that when we actually get all the carpet ripped out of there and the flooring replaced, it will all be pretty much done.The one we can keep pretty and then only use on special occasions, like maybe if we have a special Holiday breakfast for just a few people, or something like that.
It’s a good thing too.That furniture was made in 1867 and probably could use a break if we want it to last for another 150 years!.
I added some simple greenery and a neutral runner, along with some basic clear glass pieces to create a look that’s a little bit festive, but will still feel perfect for Winter after the holidays are over.. With all of the clean up that’s going to be happening right after Christmas, it will be so nice to have a room that can just stay as-is and be enjoyed a little while longer.Last year I kept most of the greenery up until after Valentine’s Day.
