This paint covers really well and really had a nice thick, vinyl-like consistency.. Chris may have overdone it a bit, but the extra paint that dripped down was easily pinched off..

I also saw a big old spool that would have made a great table for $9, a wicker picnic basket for $4 and about 17 lamps I wanted to bring home and subject to hours of spray painting.I restrained  myself until next time.. Oh yes, there will be a next time!

I may still be a little bit freaked out, but I expect to be making a full recovery… and soon!Last week I showed you my.string of lights.that I’d hung up in my mud room and I told you how they helped to set the tone for the whole room this Fall.. Today I’m going to show you just what I meant by that!.

I really didn’t know what I was going to do at all in here this year.I knew it would involve corn, but that’s it.

It must always involve corn!.

I tried hanging those lights up across the back of the room thinking it would just look like a disaster and the black plastickyness of the cord would clash with all the natural elements I had in mind.It did turn out pretty cute, but it’s a little more creepy and Halloweeny than harvesty.

It’s still fun though!.Here’s how it happened:.

We have this big bin of wood scraps sitting in the middle of our driveway right now.All little leftover pieces from the playhouse we’ve been working on.
