The Kitchen in Cottage #8

There’s a good possibility you’ve already seen the glorious photographs of the revamped kitchen in cottage number 8. There’s the amazing refrigerator with paneled doors and barn handle hardware. The huge farmhouse sink and the beautiful back splash of subway tiles. Then there’s the giant letters on the wall that spell out “Bakery”. If you haven’t seen it though, or maybe you just need to oogle a little bit more, you’ll need to head over to The Old Painted Cottage: Cottage Number 8 to see this amazing before and after renovation. When you’ve finished scrolling through all the jaw dropping photos, read through the FAQs to find out a bit more about the work that went into this amazing transformation. The refrigerator is my favorite, probably because I have an old 80’s fridge that really needs a face lift. The FAQs tell you about that too. Thanks for sharing your kitchen with us Jennifer. 🙂

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.
