{Invasion of The Real Housewives of BC}

I'm so happy to have met these 2 chicks in the blog world, and yes, we'll definitely be meeting in real life very soon! They are The Real Housewives of Bucks County.
They've taken over The Painted Home for today and I couldn't be more happy to welcome them here. The Real Housewives of Bucks County have a knack for adding some real flare to your real house. So, enjoy...

Thanks so much, Denise, for having us in your Painted Home (not literally, of course, but here in the blog version!) For newbies to the blogging world like us, we're so happy to have a cyber-friend in Denise who totally rocks at what she does!

We're Jess and Monica, and are the two crazy women who write The Real Housewives of Bucks County. We're basically neighbors with Denise, and are itching to meet her in real life! {hint hint} :) 

Anyhow, we wanted to share with all of you Painted Home fans a little bit about our obsession with Fall, and some the fun projects we've done recently as a result of our Autumn love.

Who doesn't love pumpkins? We sure do, so we put together a little post called  Notyour Mama's Pumpkins! 

We absolutely love using stuff we already own to create something fabulous, and we can't get enough of easy DIY projects, so these pumpkins were right up our alley!  Check out the post for all the how-to details.

We both decked out our mantles for Fall, but our styles couldn't be more different! What makes our blog so much fun is that you'll see a variety of different design styles and a little bit of banter back and forth between us about which style is better!

Jessica's Mantel and Faux-Mantel

Monica's Edgar Allen Poe-inspired Mantel

One of our favorite things to do is repurpose stuff we either already have, or find on the cheap. This fall scrap sign was made out of, you guessed it, a scrap piece of poor quality particle board. Now, it has a new lease on life as a cute addition to Monica's front porch!

Finally, one of us may or may not have an aversion to traditional wreaths (ahem, Monica!), so that person came up with a super-cool, easy way to dress up her front porch for Fall. (She likes to call it "The Anti-Wreath". Check out the post and you can find out how to make your own!).

You never know what you might find in ourlittle piece of blogland on any given day, but we hope you'll stop over for a visit and stay awhile! We'd love for you to see what being a REAL housewife of Bucks County really means.

Thanks so much for having us today, Denise! This was a total blast. :)
~Happy Fall~
