Autumn
has always been my favorite season. The way the leaves form a masterpiece of
color, and the crisp air rejuvenates the mind amazes me. Even though I have
never been a large fan of Halloween (I don’t do scary), I still love the thick
textures and shabby chic appeal that pops up during this time. I have a beach
theme throughout my room the blends naturally with this style, so I am always
finding new things I would love to hang up. I decided for this project I would
make something that would go with the theme of my room and the theme of the
season. I hope you enjoy it!
