and if I already had a book deal in the works (nope!).
Not like I was in August, messing around with Halloween crafts and stuff, but the real, serious, nitty gritty type of Fall decorating.Yes, this is serious business!.
Well, I was starting to lay out my plans for our Fall mudroom, and I didn’t quite know what I was going to do.I made this one little move and everything started to take shape.I’m so in love with it, in fact, that I thought I’d share this little tip with you..
I thought adding in this string of lights, with all the black plasticy parts so visible like this might just be a disaster, but this simple move of tying these little ribbons flags around it changed the whole vibe.It’s a garland and string of light in one!
And suddenly the theme of the mudroom was set, and I went from there.. Can you tell where I’m going with this yet?We have a mudroom off of our kitchen side door, but it’s not quite there in terms of… well, anything really!.
I use it for adding some seasonal cheer at the entrance that we use most, and for muddy shoes of course, but that’s about it..He had come to a decision, he said, that he couldn’t just leave the wall in the bedroom upstairs how it was, he had to tear out the ugly panelling and put in drywall.
OK, I’ll buy more paint and re-paint that wall.But then he said that if he was going to be doing that, he might as well build some bookcases into the wall there like I’d been insisting we need to add into every room in the house.
I was interested.And we were off!
