This savings is absolutely necessary.
I restrained myself until next time.. Oh yes, there will be a next time!I may still be a little bit freaked out, but I expect to be making a full recovery… and soon!Last week I showed you my.
string of lights.that I’d hung up in my mud room and I told you how they helped to set the tone for the whole room this Fall.. Today I’m going to show you just what I meant by that!.I really didn’t know what I was going to do at all in here this year.
I knew it would involve corn, but that’s it.It must always involve corn!.
I tried hanging those lights up across the back of the room thinking it would just look like a disaster and the black plastickyness of the cord would clash with all the natural elements I had in mind.
So I stood back and I looked.I brought the pieces inside and set them down to look like some of the apple picking ladders I’ve seen around.
Notice how the “step” pieces get smaller and smaller as they go up..I just used my hot glue gun to stick everything in place and then took some watered down dark brown craft paint and made the whole thing brown..
I didn’t really love it.I went back to the painting table and added some gray paint here and there, followed by just a smidge of white to try to “age” it a bit more.. Like I said, it wasn’t really the rustic harvesty look I was going for.
