Cupboard Makeover and Halloween Decor

I mentioned I found some goodies at the Meadowview barn sale.  I'm finally ready to show you what I picked up.  My best find was this cupboard.  I fell in love with it but it needed some TLC.

The back of the cupboard was splintering and really needed to be replaced so I put a new piece on the back and painted the rest. 

Of course I had to add some chalkboard pain on the inside!  On the front door I traced a pattern I liked, filled it in with white paint, then roughly outlined it with a silver paint pen.  I like the free handed look the pen gives to the design, kind of sketch book looking.


My Halloween display was a little slow going this year in our small space, but better late than never right?  It has some of the other vintage goodies I picked up at the barn sale.

The black and orange crow and beads came from the Meadowview Barn sale, the black and orange tree came from a barn sale I went to last weekend.  The stars say "Happy Halloween" when all turned the right direction (find the tutorial here).  The pumpkin was a makeover I told you about here, the small orange rose from this tutorial, and the vases are from one of the first MJ&G tutorials found here!
