Today is Furniture Feature Friday at Miss Mustard Seed and I’m linking to it! It’s her first one so go see all the great furniture transformations.
What a busy weekend! Our house number gets a new sign post and I can finally say I have started my fall decorating.
I recently was at one of my favorite places to shop, Habitat for Humanity, and got this twin head board for $10. I was thinking that it would make a perfect sign post for our house number.
With a little bit of sanding, exterior priming, painting and applying exterior water-based polyurethane we now have this pictured below:
With the help of my hubby, we attached those bracket thingies to the back of the post so that we could stake it in the ground by using metal posts.

With the help of my twin grandsons, I started my fall decorating. We spent the day on Friday painting pumpkins and decorating the outside of my house. I wished I had taken a picture of their pumpkins before they gave them to their mommy and daddy. But let me tell you they were the best looking pumpkins anyone could ever purchase.
Being a “Grandma” is so rewarding!

Today I’m linking to Kimba at A Soft Place to Land for Do It Yourself Day and Gina at The Shabby Chic for Transformation Thursday.

Excuse me now, I have to get dressed and go thrifting...looking for a headboard!! :O)
Super great idea ! Love the urns too !!
ReplyDeleteKammy
I love your use of the headboard--it looks like a custom made piece for your house numbers. What a good grandmother you are--letting the boys have free reign with the pumpkins and paint! I see they are even in their t-shirt paint smocks :) They will always remember experiences like this. They are adorable!
ReplyDeleteTerrific welcoming display to all who visit your home. Love it!
ReplyDeleteSandra
This is such a great idea!well done!
ReplyDeleteVery CLever Idea!! That looks great. How do you find Habitat for Humanity Stores??
ReplyDeleteSuper Idea! Rats and I saw so many twin headboards this weekend I never looked twice at! Thanks for the steaking tip too, my Mom has a little piece of broken picket fence that keeps falling over. After a trip to the farm store it wont anymore!!
ReplyDeleteYou are just amazing!!!You have the best ideas ever. I'm glad I know you!!
ReplyDeleteYour little fella's are so cute working on their pun'kins!
The bedroom is getting close to completion. The bed is redone, but still not as puffy as I wanted, but way better!
