DIY Painted Faux Pumpkins with Vintage Door Knobs
I don't know what it is about vintage door knobs, but we love them here at Robb Restyle. We like to think of them as an architectural fingerprint - sometimes just as unique as the home they were used in - but also sometimes an element long forgotten or taken for granted. We find them in all shapes and sizes and colors - and so much unlike the knobs of doors used in more recent homes. Our workshop has bins of them, collected over many, many years. When we are missing a match for a doorknob … [Read more...] about DIY Painted Faux Pumpkins with Vintage Door Knobs
Scrappy Fall Wreath
Nothing screams fall more than a good ol' wreath project. Now that my entryway had been rearranged (after painting my front door yellow), I was ready to start decorating for fall. And, frankly, I was bored last Friday night. Sometimes my best projects are unplanned. My kids love decorating the house for fall, so they were thrilled to see me bring the fall decor tote down from the attic. We sorted through some of the decorations, setting out little pumpkins, spiders and other crafty fall decor … [Read more...] about Scrappy Fall Wreath

Festive Hand-Painted Halloween Chair
Halloween is my favorite holiday. If you know me, this little confession isn't mind-blowing. I've always had a passion for horror films or ghost lore and this time of year is the perfect time for freaks like me to celebrate! If it were up to me, Halloween costumes would always be creepy in nature to demonstrate the true spirit of this holiday. I guess you could say I was born without scare freckles - that's how my six year old describes why he is frightened by all … [Read more...] about Festive Hand-Painted Halloween Chair
DIY Inspired by Martha Stewart: Jar o’ Lanterns
This is an old project of mine, but as I was getting my fall decorations out this year, I thought it would be appropriate to post a brief mention of it. Martha Stewart has provided me a great deal of inspiration over the years for crafting, decorating and cooking! And surprisingly she is quite the diva when it comes to all things Halloween. This was a fairly easy craft - the painting on the inside is a concept that hadn't even occurred to me. You can almost do it by pouring in some paint and … [Read more...] about DIY Inspired by Martha Stewart: Jar o’ Lanterns
