Sailing With... Sam from The Peak of Très Chic

This week we are sailing with Sam from The Peak of Très Chic. Sam's blog was one of my favorites long before I started blogging. Her blog is unique, and brings a different perspective to interior design. Her love for antique stores is quite interesting. If you follow her on Twitter, you will often find her spending her weekends pursuing her favorite antique shops. I am constantly drawn to her blog when I need inspiration for a outfit, or a decor update.  Go check out Sam at The Peak of Très Chic!

Keep on Sailing,

D.I.Y. for Fall!

I am so excited for Fall!  When I was on Pinterest, and came across this decorated pumpkin, I was so happy. I cannot wait to make one myself, I tdecided to create a D.I.Y. for all of you! The DIY is so simple, and all you need is a quick trip to the hardware store.

Supplies:
Pumpkin
Painter's Tape
Spray Paint or Normal Paint (any color, I prefer white)


Step 1: Once you have the perfect pumpkin, using painter's tape, create a zig-zag pattern all around the pumpkin.

Step 2: Next, using either regular paint or spray paint, paint the area that is not covered in paint. Let dry.

Step 3: Peel of the tape.

Step 4: Volia! You have your new pumpkin!

Let me know if you try this Fall DIY!

Keep on Sailing,
