| My Halloween Mantle! |
Two days of pure fall, beautiful weather has inspired me to finish a few projects I started, but didn't finish. I needed a day of no rain so that I could paint - but honestly, there hadn't been any for a long time! This is my mantle right now, real time! I know every place I've purchased each of these items; from Utah to California to Montreal and now here in New England. It's really fun to remember each place we've lived and where we purchased these fun holiday decorations - it's a little like christmas ornaments!
The mantle sign I made with an old antique board and chalkboard spray paint. I didn't prime it, which was on purpose. I wanted the imperfections of the wood and grain to show through. I did spray paint over it several times to make sure I could write over the paint. Once dry, it was ready for whatever I wanted to write on it! I even hung it up myself :)
Here's the project in Pinterest fashion:
Do you find holiday decorations to bring as many memories as ornaments?
What is your favorite Halloween decoration? From where?
Are you having b-a-u-tiful fall weather?
