New Obsessions: Manor Core & Autumn Moods

 Manor Core...?

Is this the grown up/ old money eccentric version of Cottage Core that I've been waiting for...?

We Shall See...

I always had the want for a very tidy mud room/entryway...

but these lil cluttery bits of goodness just charmed me 

in the oddest of ways.

The boots all in a line...

The baskets and barn jackets galore...

and the pupps in wait of a good walk...

like the first pic... 

c'mon, lets go!!!

But before you enter... here's the facade...

I think its time we upgrade...

I think we could give this a try....

This was my digital mocking of the situation...

I always thought that black houses were neat, but for some reason

it was as though something said that I wasn't worthy...

that is for what I know as fact...

one hundred percent 

a lie

I CAN HAVE A BLACK HOUSE...

remember that time I painted the shed black...

its still a ramshackle shed...

but it sure looks fancy now...

Paint It Black

But back to Manor Core...

These layery bedding and heavy drapes scapes 

are just hitting in the excitement zone...

must start implementing these elements now!

Already started with the dark and moody in the front room...

I took my pail of paint by Behr in the color Ancestry Violet

and added in a bit of black to dusky it up...

Looks more like the shade Gothic Amethyst now... 

I'll take it.

Master Kit is totally approving of it in his lil chair...

Just waiting for us to settle in with our snacks,

so he can tell us a story...

Don't worry I wrote it all down so that I can retell it to you all...

soon...

I thought it was still August !!!

 

I’m not kidding you when I say that I really thought it was still August. And you’ll have to forgive me for rambling for a sec here…

I’m cooking up a reallllllll treat for you all, and I hope you like it.

It’s a short story told in parts.

And it’s spooky!!!

Based on true events…

Are you decorating for the season?

We are just starting, there’s been a lot of serious decision making over here…

With Lots of fun adulting involved…

And winter is coming, everything snow removal related needs doing now…

And the wood stove issues need addressing…

We’ve got our wood stacked tho…

Now we have to cut our dead-standing trees from our woods…

And put away any outdoor things that we won’t be using over the winter…

And we are way behind in the outdoor chores from my back freaking out and the rain we had this July…

I am in the midst of not even prioritizing any of that tho…

I just want to walk in the woods and write…

Drink cocoa and read books…

Feed the birds and take pix of the plethora of mushrooms out there…

Maybe have a ghost foto shoot…

Apples

Punkin spice

Fire pits

Sweater

No other season

Suits me better

XOXO

Jen

Secret Post!

Shhhhhhh.....

This secret post is all about the Halloween!

2016, crazy year!

So many intensities! 

We are still trying to get our rhythm back after our big move.

We didn't let it stop us from having some Autumnal Halloween Fun! 

So Halloweeny!

Of course I Made a Bunch o' Stuff!

And now that we live deep into the woods, we have a never ending supply of free materials...

TWIGGGGGGGSSSSSSSSSSS!

We have Heaps!

I gathered a bunch & started to glue gun away...

That Broomy Broom above was the fun result...

Seriously, it was very relaxing gluing all of those bits together...

I got really into Crows...

Sunsetty vibes in the upstairs sitting room...

Trevor...

Timer Tea Lights inside wee Pumpkins...

Talent is on Display at every turn :-D

Branches and battery timer lights...

That big Pumpkin looked Great as a Planter!

Cut a hole big enough to Make that Pumpkin into a Lampshade!

Didja Know.... You can put a LED Candle inside those suckers to Make em Glow!?!?!?!?

Glitter Pumpkins in a Jar!

Always a lil Gypsy Porch Action!

Perfect for having a sit down & a good old Fortune Telling...

Batties in the Lamp...

Owls in the Yard...

Not a Prop...

Did I mention that we live Deep in the Woods...

LOL

Glad to finally get this post out n about...

Hope you all had fun this Halloween...

& I Hope you MADE SOMETHING!!!

XOXO
~JM
