    Free Wood Box Pumpkin Makeover

    1:22 AM - By 

    Lis­ten, when you’re on a tight dec­o­rat­ing bud­get like I lit­er­al­ly always am, you can learn real quick how to make some­thing from noth­ing. In my recent thrift­ing adven­tures I found a cute lit­tle oval poplar wood box for FREE! It lit­er­al­ly does­n’t get any bet­ter than that! At the time I had no clue what I’d be using it for but I knew it had potential. After get­ting my thrift­ed trea­sures home and unload­ing every­thing in the floor, I noticed my lit­tle box again.

Every­thing about dress­ing up in cos­tumes, sip­ping cof­fee in the chilly temps, hay rides, corn mazes and pump­kin patches…ohhhh my good­ness I can’t wait.

Hal­loween decor has always been a chal­lenge for me.I nev­er real­ly know when or how to incor­po­rate the spooky-ness in with my tra­di­tion­al decor and when I do, it ends up look­ing clut­tered. Is this a prob­lem for you or just me? Any­way,…
