Seasonal Character Door Hanger
This post is sponsored by The Home Depot. Click here for my full disclosure.
#sponsored #DIHWorkshopWoohoo! Today is the day that I get to show you my Halloween themed version of the Seasonal Character Door Hanger. It was so fun to actually get my hands on some power tools and build this project on my own!
You can build and style your own too!
If you enjoy creating projects, The Home Depot offers Workshops at all of their locations for do-it-yourselfers of all ages and experience levels. There are three types of Workshops offered:
- Do-It-Yourself (DIY)
- Do-It-Herself (DIH)
- Kids
As a memory refresher, here is the original image supplied by The Home Depot for this project. If you sign up for a workshop, customers can learn how to build décor projects, how to make easy home repairs and how to operate tools through demonstrations and step-by-step instructions. Visit http://workshops.homedepot.com to learn more.
OK. Here is mine.
I decided that I wanted to create a neutral skeleton look for my Seasonal Character Door Hanger to go with our light & neutral decor.
I’m not sure if this cute guy looks more like a skeleton, a ghost, or a jack-o-lantern, but he is sure is happy and welcoming. Maybe he needs some teeth?
The building process was super easy. (Click here to sign up to make your own at your local Home Depot store.) After putting this together, I stained the wood with a combo of Minwax Jacobean and Classic Gray. Next, I dry brushed the entire thing with white chalk paint. Then, with a pencil, I freehand the face and filled it in with a thicker application of my dry brushing technique, which gave it an airy, ghosty feel.
I added my favorite black and cream ticking fabric around the top of the hat brim to finish off the look.
Isn’t this guy a cutie? If I wouldn’t get crazy looks, I would consider leaving him up year round.

Tween Bedroom Mood Board/Projects
It’s the 2nd week of the One Room Challenge! First of all, I want to thank everyone who stopped by and commented on my Tween Bedroom post last week. As one of my friends said, we will be starting with a blank canvas and she is so right! However, today, I wanted to share the Mood Board/Projects for the room.
If you missed week one, we chose to makeover our tween daughter’s bedroom for this challenge. Since we’ve been mostly focused on simple curb appeal updates (and a few mechanical updates as well) at the Country House, this will be the first space we really tackle inside.
Here’s what we’ve come up with…

Headboard | Chandelier | Lamp | Paint Color | Bedding
After we put our heads together, my daughter and I came up with a fun and girly mood board that fit the color and style she wanted on a budget we could afford. (She’s always loved pink and gray rooms, even though her favorite color is purple.)
Doesn’t this combo look so fun?! We’ve ordered most of the items and they should be delivered this week.
As far as projects go, we have several planned, including:
- Remove old carpet and replace flooring
- Paint walls, trim, & doors
- Replace old electrical plates, outlets, and switches
- Add new lighting
- Install window coverings
- Create a workspace that can also double as clothes storage
- Bring in color and textures with accessories
- Organize craft & art supplies, books, toys, and clothing
So far, we’ve pulled everything out of the room, including the carpet and started on some of the big projects. (I will be sharing those next week!) It is so fun to see this vision coming to life and my daughter is excited to have a fresh new space!
Follow along with us!
