5 minutes later...

We bought this dresser from craigslist for $50 (a bit more than I usually like to spend). It had one odd pull that didn't match the others.



I decided to replace the pulls with knobs. Which is not always the cheapest change to make, but it's EASY!
I chose these knobs from Anthropologie.



The dresser is storage for our upstairs bath. 5 minutes later with the help of some pliers...







The knobs I bought were $6 - $10 each. So when you need 6 or more it can add up.

However, a new dresser similar to mine such as this (though a bit more embellished) is a considerable amount more.



On the whole though I got my dresser for a fraction of what I could have paid, no one else has one like it and I was able to customize it for our space.

All Hallows.

Fall is by far my favorite season and next to Thanksgiving, Halloween is my favorite holiday. Here are a few things I found inspiring!

I love the paper-y skull. Subtle. Spooky.


MarthaStewart
LOVE the Lumina pumpkins and the idea of carving it like this is genius.

Mostly what I love about this is the silhouettes, I would keep them up all year.


Here is my own little Fall table top.






I think my Black Eyed Susan's look just as good dead as they do in bloom!


A spookier shot.

Also, I bought this beauty which will remain up all year round.



A great etsy.com find from here!
