Our execution wasn’t 100% perfect on this project, but it really never is unless it’s something made by a machine, right?

Once that was dry I made a little cross out of painter’s tape and stuck it over top.I tried out Scott’s Blue tape on this one because they sent me a few rolls to try and it did the trick!.

Then I painted the whole thing with some Antique White craft paint and pulled off the tape..Instant hip-ness.Bonus points if you have a cool brick wall to put it in front of.

Lose half a point for the Christmas sign that’s still stuck to the wall a few inches out of this shot.. Are you wondering about that weird beady berry-y stuff in the bucket?.I got a giant bag of it on clearance at Michael’s for $2.

I don’t know what it’s supposed to be, but each individual piece was priced at $7, so I figure it must be cool enough for my new bucket.. Is that crazy or what?

Seriously, there was like $80 worth of this stuff in that little bag.. OK, back to the bucket.. Nice isn’t it?Yesterday, I was getting the house all ready for our dinner and Chris came in and told me “The corn across the street is way better than your corn, you want me to go cut you some?” I said “Yes.”.

Still waiting on that corn.I guess he thought he was being funny.. Let this be a lesson to him: You don’t joke about corn around here.

Or any offerings of Fall decorations, for that matter.If you’re offering up Fall decorations, you’d better be ready to deliver!.
