Creative ideas, and decorative items, and techniques that I have used in my home, or would like to use. DIY, and how to post and videos of things that I am working on in my own house. I also encourage all of you to share your own thoughts, photos, and projects.
It's time to share what is happening in the Old haunted House this year for halloween!
Every year I try to have a new, and different look for the house, so I hope you like it
I have a short video from YouTube of the sights, and sounds for the comming halloween season.
The Newest Halloween look for the Old Haunted House is HERE!
Currently in the process of, not only painging more things, but playing catch-up with getting the rest of the 2022 paintings posted
This video actually has 4 new paintings from the end of 2022, and each one is different, as always, because my mind is always changing to something different. I hope you like them, and don't forget to let me know!
I have been trying to get these paintings up, one because there are more to post, and I will be painting again, and things will be piling up before you know it, and I don't like keeping too many photos on the phone. I know, some people have lots of photos, but I still think it slows down the phone, but that's me...
Anyway, here are three new paintings. I hope you like them. n any case, let me know what you think, and be creative!
IT'S TIME FOR DECORATING AGAIN, AND IT IS FOR THAT VERY SPECIAL NIGHT OF ALL HALLOWS EVE!

Here we have two paintings, step by step. First, the Haunted House, and second Cherry Blossoms. Both, as always, easy to do, and well worth the time it takes to create them.

Who doesn't love walking in a foggy woods. I decided to do that in a painting, and show you how I got there. It's really very easy, and encourage you to paint as well. It's relaxing, makes you happy, and is a way for you to add inexpensive artwork to your own home!
Who wouldn't want to live in a Castle?
I can't right now, but you and I can pretend, and paint one at the same time!
Join me from start to finish in painting one, and see where you end.
Here is a very quick ans easy addition to your French Country Decor. All you need is a piece of wood, and a print, of your choice, from the printer. We stained the wood, glued on our print, and polyurethane for a nice finish, and we were all done! Now it graces the porch with the rest of the French Country greeting.
We are trying out two different looks for Valentines Day decorating to see which we like the best. These are very easy crafts that you can do with the kids, and they cost very little in time, or cash, but they still look great. Let me know what you think.

Today we are doing a very easy DIY project. I have seen these around, but why pay for one when you can make your own?!?
The making of a Primitive Candy Cane Sign for Christmas. I had seen for sale on the internet, but why not just make our own out of leftover wood, and paint we already have, so it cost us nothing but very little time! This is a very easy project taking up little time to finish. I hope you try it out for your Christmas decor, and let me know what you think!
We start with out piece of wood.
Next we base coat it with black.
We move on to painting the candy cane, and lettering.
Finally we have sanded it all, for the aged effect, and we are finished! Wasn't that easy?
Here we have 3 very easy to do Fall craft projects you can make by yourself, or with the kids. Easy enough that everyone can get involved.
Decorating for fall doesn't need to cost a lot of money, just use what you already have, and change it up a little. Using your imagination is all of the fun, and you come up with a unique look for your home!
We are going to start the New Year out right, and add a little happiness to our living space!
It is done with a little creativity, and no money, so we can all do it if we want to.
I had a little free time the other day, and and needed a project to fill that time, so here we have the results of that. I hope you like these 3 things.
Our first piece was inspired by a packace I had received in the mail, and thought the box it came in had a very nice shape, and that something could be done with it...so came the other ideas.
I covered (glued) it with wrinkeled up white paper, and used my French Country stencile to decorate around it. Now I have a French Country pillar at no cost.
I placed a little metal bird upon it, and it took it's place next to a chair in the dining room. It took very little time, and it looks great!
Next I printed out a few sheets of French Country script, and covered a couple of books with it, placed them on top of a desk in the Library, put a metal birdcage on top, and it was finished. Looks very nice for a couple minutes of my time.
The last project was an old cigar box, and again I covered it in paper, and used my French Country stencil over it, let it dry, and it was ready to be placed on top of the chifferobe in the living room. All 3 of these projects took no money, or even much time to do, but bring just a little more fun to my living space, and will be able to decorate my home for some time to come. I hope you find a little inspiration from these, and the other ideas I have posted, and let me know what you think!
Get ideas, and inspiration to make your very most important welcoming point a Happy Place to visit! New ideas, and easy crafts for this year! Fun for the entire family.
Just in time!
