Halloween Costumes and a Paint Party

found here

I've spent a good part of this week tying up some loose ends for Landyn's Halloween costume. She is going to be a monarch butterfly this year. We have a costume party to attend on Saturday for the kiddies. I can't wait to share the pictures with you!

I bought this hope chest at a garage sale the other day. It was 5 dollars. How could I not? The color is hideous and I am thinking of painting it white...OR do I go dark since the rest of my house is dark wood. Where are my crafty ladies at? I need your inspiration. I am linking up to Domestically Speaking's PAINT PARTY!

  6. In regards to the trunk, if it's going in a room that is all dark, definitely go dark...but if it's going in say, a child's room with white furniture, definitely go white. I painted an old wood dresser white for my daughter's room and my biggest word of advice is invest in a hand sander to sand the wood before painting. Are you thinking of stenciling something after painting?

  11. What a find!!! Fabulous! I would say dark if it's for somewhere in your house. It would look fabulous antiqued.If it's for the pumpkin's room, paint it white!

    Can't wait for the haloween pics. We had a costume party for Nik's daycare on the 30th, but we now have a visitation/memorial to attend out of state. But we are excited for Halloween.

  17. I say dark, because light? gets dirty in a house with kids! Great deal though, right?! Oh, and the costume is going to rock!
