Phase 2 of The House Behind The Trees ~ The downstairs #TeelsBuildaHouse

on
So we are starting the downstairs ... I HATE to say basement because we had a basement in our old home, where you opened a door and went down stairs separated from anything else. It was a finished basement complete with a bedroom, craft room, family/game room and we spent a lot of time there ~ our oldest son moved down there in jr high and stayed through high school ... until we finished the master suite in the attic then he moved back up to the bedroom floor with his brother and sister.  So here our downstairs is open to the rest of the house, you can see through to the outside from the top of the stairs going down because we have a wall of windows down there as well.  We really didn't plan to have a kiddo down there but since we are having to do a switch-a-roo with rooms (I'll explain later) he is moving home soon and will be downstairs. Anyhoo, our downstairs will house our main family room, our middle sons room, a full bath and kitchenette.  I thought it would be fun ...

Cheap.Easy.Unique Fall Decorating Ideas

on
I have found some more wonderful Fall Decorating ideas that I can't wait to try so I thought I would pass them on just in case you find them as fun as I do! The items are easy to find and heck we all probably have them on hand especially during this time of year. Have fun creating if you choose to re-create any of these splendid designs =)

Sweater Candle

OHHHH the possibilities for all upcoming holidays with this one! Wrapping sweater remnants around a candle brings warmth and comfort to your home. Camilla stuck a leaf in the sweater scraps to add texture and bring a touch of nature indoors. These candles work well as decor or as a hostess gift.

Harvest Corn

Cute, easy and simple! Tie a grouping of Indian corn ears together and hang from a cabinet door. Display jars filled with dried corn and seeds behind glass-front cabinet doors.

Grassy Fields

I love the simple yet elegant look of this on the staircase. Ornamental grasses dress up a plain staircase for fall -- the dried variety is available at crafts stores and fresh grasses can be purchased at some floral shops. Simply bundle bunches of the grasses together, secure with a rubber band and tie to every other baluster on your staircase with raffia.
