Simple Centerpiece

Table centerpieces are a simple way to update your everyday decor. However, centerpieces can be expensive and sometimes it's difficult to find the right one. Some are too big for a small table or too small for a big table or simply don't match your other decor.
Making your own centerpiece is simple! The picture below is twigs that I clipped off a dead bush in my backyard and spray painted with metallic gold paint and placed in a red vase that Linda had in her stock of vases. Simple, efficient, and pretty. It made my kitchen table complete.

You could also use glitter spray paint, which is what I would have used had the store not been completely out of every color except for clear!

Old Pumpkin = New Christmas Decor

Don't throw your pumpkins away after Halloween or Thanksgiving.  Dress them up and give them a second life with some spray paint and silk flowers.

I've kept it simple with white spray paint and a poinsettia and pine sprig, but you can use gold  or silver or even glittered spray paint.

These pumpkins have been a part of my outdoor decor from September to December this year.

Talk about stretching your dollar.
