Autumn window box and touches of spooky decor
Autumn window box and touches of spooky decor
The new fall window box adds dimension and touches of Fall color.
Found this rustic green window box in the garage rafters of my best friends house in South Bend. I had to talk him into letting me paint it and attach it to the brick but he was pleased with the results.
I love the way the window box added so much to a plain wall and also accentuates the brick design.
Fall front porch at Notre Dame. GO IRISH!
The spooky Halloween glass shelf in my bathroom.
Even though my entry isnt completely finished yet, I felt the need to decorate for Halloween and finish it up in November when there are less things going on.
Found these awesome spooky fence decals at WalMart - they are so cool!
I added black shades which I found at GoodWill for 99 cents and orange ribbon from WalMart. It just adds a touch of whimsy to the entry.

Interior Window in Kitchen Dining Room Wall
Interior Window in Kitchen Dining Room Wall
I installed this awesome window between the old pass thru which existed between the kitchen and dining room. I found this window on close out for $50 at a local home improvement store. I had no idea what I was going to do with it but I knew that I could not pass up such a sweet deal! Here are updated pictures of my ALMOST finished kitchen - cannot wait for it to be complete!
The old pass thru - just sort of an oddity and it became a place to hand stemware glasses.
These are pictures of the original large pass thru. It was nice and functional but it was always sort of a strange design choice.
Little did I know that if - on a whim - I held the circle window up that it would fit and could fit perfectly. I was excited about how it could look!
Years ago, before the internet, before Pinterest, I used to clip pictures from magazines and catalogs which were intriguing to me with regards to home interiors. Some I have had since I was a teenager and I still love them after all these years. I recently came across this picture which, interestingly, I also found on the internet. It was the interior window placed between a dining room and kitchen for interest and light. After all these years, this design vision is becoming a reality in MY house! Pretty cool.
So using some very bright neon poster board for a template - LOL - I measured it out, cut some drywall and two by fours and secured the window in place.
This is how it looks from the dining room side - it adds a beautiful contrast to the deep navy wall. It still needs to be spackled and sanded but one room at a time. :-)
Almost ready to be installed - cant wait to see how it looks! Fingers crossed that it would fit! It did!
It was quite tricky cutting the ledger stone to fit around it. I simply took my time and did it right.
Starting to be able to envision the final product - it was going to look better than I hoped it would.
And the final product - I absolutely love it! It still allows light to pass thru but adds a touch of elegance to the pass thru. Im so glad I hung onto that picture from a magazine all those years. :-)
