DIY Halloween Decor

I put up my Halloween decorations last weekend, and I'm itching to add some more. Here are a few DIY projects I've gathered from around the net. Don't you love when old people call it "the net"? Silly old people and their AOL accounts.

Urban Outfitters Print Shop

Was clicking around on Urban today and discovered they have a new section called the Print Shop. They've teamed up with an artist community called Society6.

From the website:
"Society6 is an International artist community representing more than 70 countries worldwide. We will continuously comb through their enormous archives to bring you this curated collection of our favorites. Any items ordered from the PRINT SHOP will be processed and shipped by Society6."

Pretty good prices for unique artwork, ranging from $25 to $55 depending on the size. Here are some of my faves.

And last but certainly not least:

Room Board

Here is a client room board I did recently for a family room.

Shelly - Room Board 2

The client requested four ottomans for her "coffee table" that she could then use as seating when she entertained. What a great idea eh?

Poufs

I need a floor pouf. Well I want a floor pouf; because I don't think anyone really needs a floor pouf. Also, I just like saying pouf.

Unrelated

Here are some random things I've got my eye on.

Liking these headboard ideas from Sunset Magazine. Especially that trellis mirror, seems like it could be a DIY project. Maybe with some wooden garden trellis from Home Depot and a big mirror? Or paint a mirror with a trellis stencil?

Loving this oversized horse photo. Thinking about getting a photo enlarged at Kinkos, cutting it in thirds, and framing it in IKEA frames for the same look.

Love the idea of simple floating shelves hung above a toilet.
