Tis the Season and a Finished Project

My oak China hutch, came as it was, I got it for free, so i couldn't complain,  SO GENEROUS, but. . . The oak was just a little outdated for my taste.  I checked out some blogs with techniques on how to give wood furniture an updated and modern look.  See the photos below to see what I came up with. 

My china hutch all fixed up with a new paint job, fabric in the back instead of mirrors, new crystal and silver hardware and a dark antique glaze in the details. What do you think? 

 

My Hutch all decorated and full of picture and Christmas trinkets with the lights on.

I simply love it!

On a completely random note --- Here is my new home all decorated for Christmas! 

I just love this time of year! 

Feeling Fall Foliage Flutter Further Forward

 I have been browsing and browsing on Pinterest and Craftgawker for a few weeks now, getting ideas for fun Halloween and Fall crafts, and I just couldn't decide what I wanted to do, what I could afford to do, What I was talented enough to do, etc.  So I finally just decided that decorating pumpkins with glitter, glue and ribbon, was just right up my ally with ability and price range. :) and I think they turned out quite cute!  What do you think?

 I bought this pack of spiders and put glue and glitter all over them and pinned them onto some of the pumpkins too, I think they added a nice touch.  This project only cost me about $30. :)

 In the living room, I just set up some pumpkins and leaves my mom let me borrow. She has a lot of Fall decorations.  Since I took this picture, she gave me one more GIANT pumpkin that I added to the right side of the TV shelf, it really completes the look.
