Funtastic Friday #198

Fall is trying to break through in Texas.

I think we'll get one day in the 70's this week!
We'll take what we can get, but so looking forward to cool temps!

When it's 90, it's hard to think Fall,

but we're starting to pull out a few of our Fall decorations

and looking for new ways to bring in autumn. 

Kippi has the cutest buffalo check pumpkin applique pillow tutorial.

And I love the black and white check. 

Something different for Fall.

And check out our easy buffalo check table runner.

It's so fun!

I've just got to get a box of mums to place in the center.

How are you bringing in the look of Fall into your home? 

Let's see what ideas we find at this week's party....

Funtastic Friday #197

Working on the finishing touches to our family room after the big remodel.

We just got a cabinet to go under the wall mounted TV.

It's too distressed for me, so I'm going to try a little sanding to even things out

or may have to just repaint it. 

I've got to find some knobs too.

I'll keep you posted.

Kelly has this great ledge shelf tutorial.

I'm thinking this would be awesome in a guest room with some of our favorite books.

Another favorite display piece...wood boxes.

Raw, painted or stained, I love to use these for flowers

or holiday décor. 

What new home decorating piece have you acquired lately?

Let's see what inspiration we get from this week's link party....

Funtstic Friday #196

It's football season, school is in full swing

and homecoming is next week. 

Looking forward to some fall leaves, cooler temps, 

and the pumpkin spice smells of the season. 

Starting to pull out some pumpkin recipes. 

And Mel's pumpkin spice sugar cookies are a must try!

This weekend I'm helping a daughter move into her apartment for the first semester of college.

She worked at a cookie shop this summer.
Cutest little baker, 

made the most amazing chocolate chip cookies (my favorites)!

Try our  pizza cookie- a family tradition.

Funstastic Friday #195

Hope your weekend is terrific!
Just picked up a cabinet for my family room.
The finish is a little too distressed for me,
so I'm thinking of sanding it a little to see if that helps.
Might have to paint it.

For sure I'm putting on new knobs. 

I'll keep you posted.

Stephanie has all the plans for this coffee table which could also be a bench.
Love the chunky legs.
This would be fun in a family room or as a mudroom bench.



Our wood crate storage bins with wheels not only works in a pantry,
but would be fun to hold blankets, pillows or magazines in a family room.
Check out the easy 411 on how to make these.

Now on to this week' party!
