Día de los Mu***os is a celebration of love, remembrance, and the enduring beauty of memory.
To honor this tradition, this vintage nightstand became a canvas for La Catrina. Surrounded by warm candlelight and golden cempasúchil petals, the piece brings rich, moody texture and storytelling together—transforming forgotten furniture into something meaningful and vibrant.
Wishing everyone celebrating a peaceful, reflective, and beautiful Día de los Mu***os.

The candles are lit, the spooky decor is out, and Halloween night is finally here!
Bringing these handmade Halloween pieces to life this season has been an absolute treat. From the warm, eerie glow of paper-mâché jack-o’-lanterns to moody haunted vignettes and ghostly details, there is nothing quite like adding a personal, creative touch to the holiday.
Wishing you all a fun, safe, and happy Halloween evening filled with plenty of treats and a little bit of magic.
How are you celebrating tonight?

Turn your recycling bin into boutique Halloween decor.
Instead of grabbing a plastic bowl from the store, I molded this artisan candy bowl using newspaper strips and homemade egg carton paper clay shaped over a simple kitchen bowl.
To give it that moody, vintage folk-art look, the inside is finished in rich, velvety purple tones using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Rodmell and Tyrian Plum. The Treat or Trick lettering is hand-painted in Firle for a crisp, witchy green contrast, paired with miniature hand-painted pumpkins along the rim and a weathered cauldron finish on the pedestal base. It is fully sealed and ready to hold all the Halloween night treats.

Don’t throw away your egg cartons and old newspapers—turn them into heirloom Halloween decor instead.
Every season, cheap plastic jack-o’-lanterns flood the shelves, only to crack or end up tossed out. For this build, I kept things entirely sustainable using supplies almost everyone has at home: a party balloon for the shape, newspaper strips for the base, and recycled egg cartons to sculpt all the vintage, moody character.
No store-bought molds. Just a simple balloon base, salvaged paper pulp, and rich texture that looks like an authentic antique relic. Best of all, it will not rot on your porch and takes paint, shadows, and distressing like a dream.
Want to sculpt your own from scratch? The full, step-by-step tutorial is live right now on our YouTube channel.
I walk you through prepping the balloon shape, layering newspaper for strength, turning egg cartons into workable pulp to sculpt 3D facial features, and the painting techniques used to get that aged finish.

Turning everyday recycled paper bags into rich autumn decor with a little paint and texture.
To bring this seasonal garland to life, I cut leaf shapes from brown grocery bags, gave them a good crinkle to build in natural veining, and layered Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Barcelona Orange and Paprika Red. A touch of gold adds warmth when the light hits, while Dark Wax worked into the creases brings out all that organic, aged depth. Finished with pine cones, it drapes perfectly along the mantle.
The full step-by-step tutorial is now live on my YouTube channel—head to the link in my bio to watch the process from start to finish!
Colors & materials used:
Chalk Paint by Annie Sloan in Barcelona Orange and Paprika Red
Gold metallic accents
Annie Sloan Dark Wax
Recycled paper grocery bags, twine, and pine cones

Don’t throw away those inexpensive dollar store plastic pumpkins just yet. A brand-new tutorial is up on my YouTube channel showing you how to turn plain plastic into genuine works of art for the season.
In this video, I break down the full step-by-step process of prepping slick plastic, layering rich Chalk Paint for texture and depth, and applying detailed decoupage to create heirloom-quality autumn decor. It is an easy, satisfying upcycle that completely transforms bright orange plastic into something moody, artistic, and elegant.
