Music Sheet Dresser

by

This beautiful piece of furniture started out as one of those ugly Salvation Army or Goodwill dressers. You know the ones. The kind you bought for your first apartment when you were 20, or the kind that you pass by each time you hit the thrift store because inspiration hasn’t quite hit… yet. Well, inspiration hit Cori over at Starview Sonnet when sure took this dresser from overly drab to positively fab.

    Thanks so much for featuring my dress here. How fun to see it here on your crafts blog!

    It’s a great example of how we can transform pieces like this on a budget using a little work and a lot of creativity.

    I really appreciate you posting about this : )

  2. I love it, can just see this now in our front parlour as a sofa table behind the settee. Hubby teaches Piano, would hold all his stickers, work books etc. So much nicer than the mess on the bakers rack he now has.

Garage Door Halloween Decorations

This Garage Door Halloween Decoration project is such a fun way to make a big Halloween statement without needing to decorate the whole yard. Instead of a small wreath or porch sign, this idea turns the entire garage door into a spooky silhouette scene, complete with witches, pumpkins, trees, cats, and creepy Halloween shapes.

I really like this one because it has huge visual impact from the street. The black silhouettes against the pale garage door make the design easy to see, even from a distance, and it gives the whole house that haunted Halloween feel without being too gory or scary. It is perfect for families who want something dramatic but still fun for trick-or-treaters.

This is also a great project if you enjoy cutting your own shapes from cardboard, poster board, foam board, or lightweight plastic sheets. You could keep the design simple with just bats and pumpkins, or go all out with witches, trees, ghosts, black cats, and cauldrons. Add a few outdoor spotlights or battery lights nearby and it would look amazing at night.

What makes this project especially clever is that the garage door becomes the backdrop, so you do not need a lot of expensive supplies to fill a large space. It is bold, budget-friendly, and very customizable.
