Halloween: Makeup Tutorials I love!

As you may have guessed, I LOVE HALLOWEEN! Dress up is and has always been one of my favorite hobbies. For those of you who want to know how to spice up your costume, I highly suggest body paint, make up, and other special effects! After the big day, I will make sure to post pictures of my outrageous couples-costume...but until then, here are some fabulous makeup tutorials for popular costumes!

Recycle and Re-purpose!

Here are two pieces I love right now. Jewel tones are in this fall and the old barn storm window pops against any wall in turquoise. I redid this wood-wicker chair in white and added a matching silk pillow! Both items are for sale! I also have one more storm window and one old screen window for sale! They go for $25/piece. The chair is on sale for $30 (includes pillow!)

Another obsession...peacock feathers! Add them to any vase to incorporate jewel tones into your home...


Stay tuned for more decorating tips and furniture finds!

Drawers for Sale!!

I received these drawers from my cousin a couple weeks back and recycled them, as I do everything else! They would make fantastic end tables and provide TONS of storage. They are 100% hardwood and quality furniture.

They are a mix between shabby-chic and country. I have them in my all season porch, holding my craft supplies, but I have also used them back-to-back in my kitchen! I am asking $150 for them and would be willing to haul them to your place! Email me if you are interested at catherine.debates@gmail.com
