I've got the bug.....

Once the first little wisp of cooler air hits each September, I'm overcome with the redecorating bug.  I'm not talking a little rearranging either!  Its a full on repaint every wall in the house, repaint all the floors, out with the old, in with the new, move everything around in the house kind of bug.  Thankfully, a hectic life keeps things down to a minimum.

The best and most challenging part of being struck by the redecorating bug is, due to a very limited budget, I've got to be resourceful and willing to get my hands dirty.  This year, I'm also feeling very crafty.  Here's a few of the ideas I have planned for this Fall (with a little help from my Pinterest boards):

DIY Stenciled Floor

 
This is so awesome!  I have hard wood floors throughout most of my house but they are all painted boring off-white.  Why didn't I think of this?  I'm going to try it out in the living room first.

Old Washtub Light

I think one of these would look awesome on my back porch.   Plus, I happen to have an old washtub....

Chalkboard Globe

This is too cute!  What a neat way to write little messages.  I think I have an old globe of Elijah's that I can use for this project.  If not, these are easily found (and cheap) at garage sales.

I think I need one of these for my studio.  Especially love the bright turquoise color! I don't have a larger frame like this, but I see them all the time at garage sales, Goodwill and thrift stores.

And yes, I do have plans to repaint almost every wall in my house too!  I've got big plans to pick up paint chips this weekend.  This year I'll try to be brave enough to share pictures.
