Faux vintage milk glass vases

This project is cheap and easy – just how I like ‘em.

Head to the thrift store to find some old glass vases and transform them into faux vintage milk glass vases with white spray paint (the artist recommends Krylon Multipurpose Indoor/Outdoor Gloss White). Then add some fresh flowers to create a fun seasonal display. Flowers above include some of my favorites: white stock, yellow ranunculus and red tulips. I love spring.

Smores kit

Love, love, love this idea recommended to me by my cute friend, Kristen. I actually made these kits this year. The boxes hold more than you think they will so stock up on the ingredients before assembling.

Pretty packaging

More outdoor living

This one too, please. Isn't it gorgeous?

Outdoor living

Yep. More lanterns. And another outdoor room. I can’t get enough of them. It’s the perfect fall weather beckoning me outside.

I wish this were my backyard. I would sit outside and watch the day turn to night.

Perfectly packaged cupcakes

How adorable are these perfectly packaged cupcakes? I love how the frosting matches the packaging. It’s all about the little details.

Lanterns

Doesn’t this look so romantic? I’m obsessed with lanterns. I won’t even tell you how many I have. It’s embarrassing.

Bat silhouettes

These bats are currently gracing the walls of my home, but Martha does it better. I need this house with a small child in a bat costume…among other things! Get more fabulous ideas from Martha here.

Boo-tiful cupcake wrappers

I heart these.

Halloween table display

I want to be at this Halloween party.
