Elsie’s Halloween Home Tour 2019

Hello friends. Welcome to our spooky home tour! It fills me with pure joy to decorate our home for the seasons for our family.

Our daughter, Nova, is hyper aware of all things Halloween: witches, spells, spooky and not-so-scary. Four years old is such an amazing age! She has been helping me decorate the house and it’s been the best memories! We’ve been watching Hocus Pocus on repeat (as well as every ’70s horror movie after our kiddos go to bed!). This is our spooky village. We started it last year and this year we made and added the green eyeball house. It’s a special tradition that I hope we can keep going through the years! These little thankful cards are my favorite thing we’ve done lately. I let Nova tell me all the things she is thankful for and some of them are hilarious like, “Rainforest Cafe.” The skeleton flamingos from last year are back! Nova was on fall break the week we did these photos and so she was my “big helper” this day. 😉

Her cute matching set is from here. Our friend Creighton Barrett made this amazing art piece. He makes the coolest art from cut paper.Thank you for taking a peek inside my spooky home! I’ve collected these decorations (both store-bought and homemade) over the past 3-4 years and I love adding a bit more to our collection every year.

Stay spooky! xx. Elsie (and Nova too!)

These Benches Provide More Than Just a Place to Sit

Short, long, wooden, metal, upholstered or padded — benches come in an endless array of styles and materials. It’s a good thing too because a stylish bench can add a bit of flair and a lot of convenience to any room in the house. Historical sources say that benches were a common type of simple seat in the era when only the most important people actually got to sit in a chair. Today, this humble piece of furniture has evolved from a second-class seat to a very functional element that can also be very stylish. Without a doubt, there’s a bench that fits the decor and size of your room, so check out these beautiful options.

This particular model is made from steam-bent American Black Walnut, with a marvelously upholstered top. The textural, channel-tufted jacquard textile is in great contrast with the hand-rubbed oil finish on the base. The handsome piece would be ste...

25 Racing Car Beds For Children Rooms

Kids love racing cars and it’s not that difficult to understand why. They’re fast, flashy, colorful, noisy and pretty cool plus we now have a bunch of animations that basically revived the trend in a big way. With that in mind, you have to admit that having a racing car bed is pretty awesome, especially as a kid. You don’t have to be a Nascar fan to see it. View in gallery Most racing car beds manage to combine a fun design with a safe structure Racing car beds are usually small and designed just for children. They feature bold and vibrant colors that make them stand out and make the children like them even more. Red and blue are very common colors for such pieces. They also usually have numbers on them and those checkerboard patterns on the sides. Building a racing car bed is actually a very interesting concept. It’s a two-in-one piece.

Streamlined Bedroom Decor Ideas to Make Every Night Restful

Let’s face it: You spend more time in your bedroom than any other room in the house. And, even though few people will probably see it, the master bedroom really does have to be comfortable and welcoming so that it’s a pleasant place to spend all those hours. It’s such a personal area that it should reflect your personality while being stylish and well organized because it can be very difficult to rest in a roomful of disorganized clutter. Obviously, the main focus of the space has to be the bed, but aside from storage for your clothing, the only other furnishings you definitely need in the bedroom are some sort of bedside tables or nightstands. Any other pieces you add, such as a chair, bench or other seating, will be driven by the size of the space. Here are some fresh master bedroom decor ideas that are streamlined and make the perfect starting point for creating a restful haven. Modern Canopy Style A far cry from the frilly, fussy canopy beds that trap legions of dust, today’s c...
