A Chandy Fall Makeover

We've been staying at my son and daughter-in-law's gorgeous home this week during our hardwood installation.  We are so fortunate. They have been at Disney for the week and volunteered their house to us.

It's been a while since I've done anything creative. I'm itching to decorate (even if I am breaking the good Mother-in-Law code)! With this being the first day of Fall, I hit Michael's for inspiration.  I found some gourd-look-alikes and monster-autumn-leaves for 40% off.  Jackpot!

I got this crazy idea to decorate my DIL's dining room chandelier.  The base can hold the leaves and the gourds have hooky stems. I can hang those little suckers on the arms then stack a few in the center!
What a fun project for the first day of Fall!

Please enjoy your weekend and the start of this beautiful new season.

  1. Oh you are so lucky to have a daughter in law that "allows" you to do such marvels! Now, my son in law is a different story.....Never can I suggest something, let along DO something. I'm used to it now, they've been married for 32 years. In fact it's really a relief, no pressures!

  2. My DIL is a peach! Love, love, love her and so glad John married her. He's my only child so it is nice to now have a daughter. I think SIL get peeved about the mother/daughter bond being so tight.
