Halloween Costumes

November 5, 2013

 I  hope that everyone had a Happy Halloween!  In the Decker household,  we began preparations a few weeks ago.   Granted this not a tutorial,  BUT,  I will have you know I made both costumes, accessories and all for under $30.00!  I’m sorry, but you can’t buy a halfway decent costume for $15.00!

  When it comes to costumes,  just remember  thrift stores are your friend!  I got the kids boots and jackets in the women’s department!  I tore them apart and recreated them. Buying the material alone would have been way more than $30. So,  just remember to think outside the box!


My kids are still at an age that they really  don’t care what costume I put them in,  so I take advantage of it!  This year I talked Wyatt into the idea that Captain Hook is a “Cool” pirate!  I figured I could get him to get on board with that idea,  because he currently  likes  “Jake and the Neverland Pirates”.   My only criteria  for costumes is that  I have an elaborate one to make!
Its all about the details!

Anyone who knows me, knows I have a small fixation on dressing my two boys to match or at least coordinate.  So, if Wyatt was going to be a pirate,  then  Mr. Linc would need to be either  Peter Pan or another Pirate Captain….
So,  I opted for another elaborate pirate.  I was going for the Jack Sparrow look,  I  knew that there was NO way this kid would wear a wig,  so he is kind of  Jack Sparrow.

I  had convinced Wyatt  wearing the costume would be fun.  He was a bit skeptical at first,  but after a few minutes,  he relaxed and got into it!

So did Lincoln.

Lastly,  here is our trunk for “Trunk or Treat”

Hope you all had a wonderful Halloween… now let the holiday season preparations commence!  It’s gonna be good.

Meet Corey

Hi everyone, my name is Corey, and I have a problem. I can’t leave well enough alone… The best therapy usually involves a variety of power tools. So, in the few “spare” moments I am not entertaining my two beautiful, rambunctious, boys, I can typically be found hunched over a sewing machine and/or covered in sawdust. All in the efforts to create a perfect balance of aesthetics and practicality in our home.

The bathroom reveal is LIVE! Here is just one The bathroom reveal is LIVE! 

 Here is just one small view of this new, improved, and somewhat magical bathroom.  I have been dreaming about remodeling my bathroom for years and I can finally say it was worth the work and the wait. 
 For real though, can you even get enough of this tile ?? I know I can’t get enough, but I certainly knew HOW much to get. Did you know that The Home Depot app has project calculators for a wide range of materials INCLUDING tile, so you  can know exactly how much product you  need? You better believe it!
 I have details about this feature and more reveal images on the site today.

Sneak Peek… of our completely renovated master b Sneak Peek… of our completely renovated master bathroom!  I have put off giving our bathroom a makeover for 5 years.  I think there are a lot of reasons people put off big projects … time, money, skills, knowledge, tools?  While The Home Depot can’t completely eliminate the list, they can certainly shorten it!  With a library of “How-to Guides”, helpful resources like “Project Calculator” and a vast inventory of tools to rent The Home Depot can certainly make any daunting project more achievable.

My organizing heart could just burst!! I’m still My organizing heart could just burst!! I’m still organizing the kitchen, but so far I have fit all the contents from the existing pantry AND freed up an entire lower and upper cabinet that contained pantry items.  #winning
Would you believe me if I told you that where this Would you believe me if I told you that where this beautiful custom-built pantry sits, used to be a small builder grade closet? Talk about untapped potential!? While the closet/pantry served its purpose, the space was not well utilized and was altogether unremarkable. With the help of The Home Depot this pantry is not only extremely functional it is a gorgeous feature in my kitchen. 
Sometimes we might look past or forget the untapped potential and resources. 
For example, did you know The Home Depot has a TON of resources to help you with your projects?  Did you know that you can do image search in their mobile app? Yup! Just take a picture of the needed item scan it on your app and find the product in a flash! In fact you  can add it right to your cart and have it ready to be picked up at available stores or lockers!
