I am a GIANT!

So I've decided to officially join the party. I've been stalking the rest of the crew for awhile now ;) My found dollhouse needs A LOT of work. I rescued it from slowly rotting away into oblivion. It had been sitting outside for at least 5 years (probably more) and was used as a cat shelter. The people who owned it should be on Animal Hoarders. Seriously. Thankfully the house itself doesn't smell like cat pee...just its environment ;) They originally bought it from an architecture student over at UC Berkeley. Pretty fab, huh?
It's currently receiving a major cleaning and restoration from a professional model builder. Don't worry he's keeping the rustic charm on the outside! He's sanding the floors and sealing the wood floors and getting it all ready for me to do the "fun" stuff.
In the meantime I've purchased a couple of small things, but I'm seriously WAY behind. I'm thinking I might be able to finish one or two rooms before the challenge deadline on Dec. 15th. I'll try my best though!
Here are a couple of my purchases:
Notice a lil' theme going on? I'm thinking Ralph Lauren meets Badgley Mischka. I need to work on colors, wall/window treatments and well, pretty much everything. But it's a start! I'm hoping to have it ready for Arden to play with...in a few years.... ;) This kid better like horses. Ha!

Sorry I'm a little behind on Arden's weekly series! For a little while there I wasn't able to import any photos off of my camera onto my laptop...sigh. But we're good as new now, so time to catch you guys up!
Arden's wearing a black and white striped onesie from Gap and her (my) favorite wide-leg ruffle pants from Chase 'n Sky (purchased on Gilt).

Halloween Time | Beware of the Black Widows

Congratulations to Jessica Warfield!
Congratulations to Jessica Warfield!
I
can't believe there's only one week left until Halloween! How did that
happen? This weekend I figured I'd better get into gear and
decorate the house!
On
Sunday I headed over to Lowe's to pick up some fun Halloween
decorations, but I didn't buy the usual "Halloween" decor items ;) I'm a
member of Lowe's Creative Ideas Creators & Influencers team (wow, that's a mouthful), so I decided to get a little more DIYish with it.
If you've never checked out the Lowe's Creative Ideas website
it's chock-full of easy DIY projects, which are right down my alley. I
so don't have the patience for DIY, but these were easy-peasy
AND way more cost effective. So naturally I was down for the challenge.
Here's my modest stoop :) I went with a spider infestation theme.
A picture of Mr. Crow standing guard by my homemade black widow infestation warning sign (somewhat inspired by the fabulous Brooklyn Limestone). Here's a copy of the sign as requested!
Newly hatched spiders...
Our spider family of pumpkins. I created the black painted pumpkin by following the instructions from this project. So easy! And I actually used black spray paint instead of the one suggested. The other two I just used a black sharpie!
My inspiration for the creepy spiderweb curtains were from this project from the Lowe's Creative Ideas website. For only $2 per panel (and a teensy bit of effort) it was WAY more reasonably priced than getting the same exact thing from a Halloween store for $7 a panel.
The Momma black widow herself (she drops down when there is any movement or sound!).
I was also going to do this spiderweb project on the right side of the stoop, but I figured it might not stand out
that well with the bougainvillaea vines growing there already.
Here's the overall finished picture! Not too shabby for a days work, wouldn't you say? ;)
