This years theme for Halloween was taken from my business name...House Things turned into Condemned House Things. To accomplish this I used torn lace, tattered lamp shades, creepy crooked pictures, worn books, crows, spiders, hornets nests, and, moss. I threw in a little strange for fun. Enjoy......
I pinned the wicked Halloween tags/ornaments to a decrypted chair.
Vintage milk bottles sprayed with chalkboard paint.
The crows have found a new home in some old black shoes.
An old camera plate used as a chalkboard.
This vintage lamp was painted gray to go perfectly with thedeep purple lace lampshade I made.
Tattered lamp shade and vintageglove molds holding french postcards of old architecture.
I don't think Iowa is ready for doll parts. But I had to do something on the crazy side...stretch the limit...Halloween, it's the one time of year we get to do something different, let loose, and have some fun.
Got this idea from my friend Elizabeth. Old photos stuck behind french collars.
Thanks Elizabeth.
Piles and piles of used books.Notice the spider on the underside of the vintage slip chandelier.
This was a fun project huh...I think we are well on our way to becoming the resident NUTS at Sisters'...heehee!!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, believe me, Iowa is just learning how to have fun with decorating...baby head nightlights and chandeliers...and mustn't forget the eyeball earrings...who wants to be so serious anyway...it's all about the fun!
Or are we just tetched in the head?!! I'll be up Wed. to fluff...later dude!
