Here it is, I know you've been waiting for it...my new bookcase reveal! Our old bookcases have lasted many years and been through several moves, it's a wonder they have held up but it was time for a refresh.  The original plan was to replace only the tall bookcase but having all three bookcases match feels very polished and like an adult lives here, but I decorated them with ghosts so there goes that idea.  We moved the old bookcases to the basement to organize the kids books and toys so they get to have a new purpose and my basement gets some much needed organization. I spent a lot of time researching my perfect bookcase. I would have loved a bookcase with a ladder but unfortunately I don't have room for that in my library, so not realistic right now but I found a style that made me just as happy! The bookcases I chose have this metal X detal on either side of each shelf. It really helps to lighten up the room. Once the bookcases were built and filled with books, with room...

June 22 is officially summerween, according to Geavity Falls. We have loved decorating and celebrating summerween for a few years. This year my summerween decorating theme is haunted forest. This is my first summerween craft of the season.  I ordered a knock-off ghost mirror from Amazon. The original ghost mirror is beautiful but not necessarily worth $500.00. I opted for this $25.00 version instead. I was expecting the frame to be plastic and flimsy, I really wasn't expecting too much. The frame is wood and pretty sturdy. The problem was the mirror portion, it was so wavy that it was hard to look at. When you turn on the light, the ghost is the exact look I was hoping for. My solution was to add a stick-on film to the mirror. I found this vine print window cling that hides the wavy mirror but keeps the ghost. I am so happy with the final result is very abandoned haunted castle in the forest.  Happy Summerween and happy crafting!
