I've seen these vertical succulent planters all over Pinterest and even though I do not have a green thumb, I was anxious to make one. 

When my plant loving daughter decided to make one to donate to a local auction, we teamed up our skills and got to work. 

I started this project in great need, need of organizing some of my craft supplies in the workshop. The mess was getting out of hand and I needed to create some kind of storage to organize all these supplies I use all the time. 

Everyone loves decorating tiered trays for the holidays and today I'm going to show you just how easy it is to style one for the Fall.

This Fall project began with an old light fixture a friend gave me after renovating her bathroom... How did she know? 

Another piece headed back to the thrift store... I can only keep so much so when I don't use something for a long time, I send it back. My own recycling program of sorts! 

I remember this design from my grandmother's house when I was a kid. She had coasters made from the same pattern. I think that's why I brought it home in the first place. This tray however, was a mess. Scratched and chipped, it was ready for a make-over. 

A while back I made a key organizer from an old chair my daughter was throwing away. 

This project is a little bit repurposed, a little bit beach clean-up, and a whole lot of pumpkin! I love using found objects to create repurposed projects and this repurposed fall pumpkin is no exception! 

I was cleaning out and throwing away when I ran across a footed tray I found at the thrift store a while back.

The tray wore out it's welcome at my house, things come and go very often. 
Often my things are shared with my daughters that have houses end up back here again. 
I decided before I sent it back to the thrift store I'd try to up-cycle it for the fall. 
I began by painting the tray Raw Silk by Fusion Mineral Paint. You can find a Fusion Mineral Paint dealer near you by visiting this bold link. 
I gave it only one coat because I was going for a very rusty look in the end.

Recently, I had the opportunity to work with a great online company that supplied me with burlap for a few projects I had in mind for the fall. 

My favorite kind of pumpkin is a white one. I love neutral colored and white pumpkins of all shapes and sizes. 

This easy to make hoop wreath is a knock off of my own Spring Wreath I made earlier this year.
