Happy Thanksgiving!

Project

This weekend I worked on another project. Now that it is getting colder, I need something to keep me busy - in the house.

I found these letters at Michaels. I spraypainted them (I'm in a painting frenzy). Thanks Cara! :D

I also completely blog-lifted her idea about the cute bird.

Now it just needs a little somethin' else, don't ya think?

New Carpet

When we first moved into the house one of the first projects on our lists was to replace the carpet throughout. The living room was top priority because it was bright red. Yucko! For some red is great, but it wasn't exactly our taste. Mostly because it clashed with everything! Well now we've finally replaced the carpet! Here are the before and afters so you can appreciate the results. I have to do something about that plant in the corner. I watched an HGTV episode this last weekend and I learned that and fake plants rank in the top 10 of design no-no's, right along with fake flowers. Hmmmm.

Fall Wedding

Sanford and I went back east for my BIL's wedding a couple of weekends ago. Sanford was the best man and I was the matron (ugh that sounds so old!) of honor. It was a fun trip. It was peak season for the fall foliage. It was absolutely gorgeous, fun and freezing!

Fall Yard Sale!!

This last weekend I decided to hit a yard sale. I found two candle holders for a bargin price of $3 for them both. I also found some great ceramic candlestick holders that were horribly ugly and at $5 a peice, (regularly $20 for one) I snagged them with the idea that I would be spray painting them with FLAT BLACK spray paint. They turned out really nice! The ribbon I picked out didn't look so good, so they are bare for now. Here are a few of the pics:

These are my candlesticks. They will not be staying on the table. I'm going to move them somewhere else. The centerpeice will be staying.
