Pumpkin Pie Spice Salt Dough Ornaments.. Fall decorations and a lovely smelling house all from basic pantry staples.. Quick and Easy Haunted House Pillow Cover.. A tea towel, a Sharpie and some ribbon are all you need to have a fun Halloween pillow for your living room!.

I don’t over-complicate things.If you’ve been a reader of my blog for some time  now, you may have noticed that I like to keep things pretty simple most of the time.

I get to the point when it comes to writing my posts and I don’t fuss too much with my blog design or the way my pictures look in my posts.When I find a way of doing things that’s quick and painless and yet still provides value to my readers, I stick with that.A lot of my “tips and tricks” posts have very basic pictures that get the point across, but aren’t necessarily the most beautiful things ever.

And my readers don’t seem to mind one bit, as long as the information that they’re learning is helpful and they enjoy reading the post, that’s all that matters!I save the the pretty pictures for the times when they really matter to the type of post that I’m doing.

When it comes to writing, I don’t try to sound like a certain type of writer or worry too much about finding just the right words.

I just type out whatever comes straight out of my brain, say exactly what I mean, and get to the point.I had one little piece that I really didn’t want to use anything too harsh on so I just smeared a little toothpaste all over it with my finger, let it sit for a bit, rinsed it and then dried it off with a towel.

It still worked!.It worked for everything!.

The best part is that if you realize your silver is looking a little sad, you (most likely) always have some toothpaste available to polish it up.No special cleaners or big messy processes required!.Of all the ugly rooms in our house, our living room is probably the least ugly right now.
