I absolutely love horror films. Like, can’t get enough of them kind of love them. The awesome thing about this time of year is that everyone is in the mood for horror movies too.

Luckily, I’m always ready with a recommendation. Even better, I’ve seen almost every horror film on Netflix. (Thank goodness they’re adding more so I have a fresh new supply for the holiday.)

If you’re looking for an awesome horror movie to watch on Netflix you don’t have to wade through the bad ones. I’ll give you the goods on the best ones so you can simply watch and enjoy.

The Diabolical

This movie follows a tough as nails mom trying to raise her 2 kids on her own. It certainly doesn’t make matters any easier that they’re being haunted by something they can’t explain.

Death Note

If you haven’t watched Death Note you are missing out! This movie is action-packed and clever as it follows a teenage boy who gets his hands on a book that can kill people… and meets the demon who comes with it.

Before I Wake

This one is both scary and heartfelt. After the loss of their son, 2 parents take in a foster child with a strange ability. Even better, this one is PG-13 so it’s one you can watch with older children.

The Boy

I originally rented this one after it came out despite poor reviews and I’m so glad I did. In it, a nanny is hired to watch a child only to find out that it is a doll the parents pretend is their son. The twists and turns will make you wonder if the parents are crazy or the nanny is.

The House at the End Of Time

This is a Spanish movie with subtitles, which I know some people don’t like, but it is brilliant. A dying woman gets to spend her last days on house arrest in her family home instead of prison. Of course, in this case prison might be safer. It is a must-watch for a scary good movie night.

Extinction

Yet another brilliant Netflix original, this movie follow a man who is plagued by nightmares of an alien invasion. Unfortunately, soon he must face those fears head on with his wife and two daughters. If your kids can handle violence, this one is family friendly too, in my opinion. (Of course, always vet movies yourself to make sure they meet your family-friendly standards.)

The Signal

This movie was surprisingly good. The description tells you that it is about college friends on a road trip who run into major trouble in the dessert. What it doesn’t tell you is that they are overly-proud hackers chasing someone who out-hacked them. It definitely gets high marks on the creep factor scale. It is also PG-13 if you’re looking for a horror film for the family.

OtherLife

The ultimate example of when technology goes wrong, this movie follows a young woman fighting with her partner about how to use the new drug they invented… a drug that induces a time-compressed virtual reality. It combines trippy with terrifying ego in one place.

Rebirth

This one is definitely not a family-friendly movie but it is the perfect film for after the kids go to bed. A guy gets his friend to go to a rebirth retreat that is full of activities from the sickest minds. It is so crazy you can’t help but keep watching.

Would You Rather

If you’re looking for a gory, cringe-worthy horror film then this is definitely the one for you. A girl in desperate need of money agrees to take part in a game only she doesn’t realize exactly what she has agreed to until it’s too late.

It is time to get in the Halloween spirit. These 10 awesome horror movies to watch on Netflix are the perfect pick for your next movie night or to binge on with friends over a long weekend. Now I’d love to hear what your favorite horror film is! I’m always down for more recommendations!

How organized are your kitchen counters? A lot of people claim that your counters should be cleared daily but for some people that’s not an option. When you have a small kitchen, utilizing counter space is a given. Making it pretty with a DIY kitchen utensils organizer is just a gorgeous bonus!

Believe me when I say that my kitchen is tiny. Like, your master bathroom is bigger than my kitchen. That means that every bit of space has to be utilized as efficiently as possible.

It also means that there is no way to get out of storing items on the counter. For the longest time I have a had this crock that was handed down to me to organize my larger cooking utensils. The problem? It is so not my taste, aesthetically. And yet, this little guy has been sitting on my counter for years.

Finally, I decided it was time for a makeover. Now it is a beautiful piece of decor that keeps my counter organized! I even love looking at while I prepare meals (although that may fade with time… I’ll keep you posted).

Materials

Thrifted Ceramic Crock (or one you already own)
Paris Flea Market Rescue Restore Paint
Southern Gentleman Rescue Restore Paint
2 Inch Brush
1.5 Inch Foam Dome Brush
Mesh Stencil Alphabet Set
Scissors
Matte Sealer (Optional)

Step 1

First, clean your ceramic crock with soap and water. Dry with a towel or air dry completely before moving on.

Step 2

Next, cover the ceramic crock with Paris Flea Market rescue restore paint and allow to dry.

Step 3

Add a second coat of paint and, again, allow it to dry completely before moving on.

Note:

Make sure you paint the edges as well. See the picture above for reference.

Step 4

While your paint dries, pull out your mesh stencil alphabet set and cut apart the second half (only 26 of the letters).

Step 5

Then, pull out the letters you need for the crock makeover: U, T, E, N, S, I, L, O, R, G, A, Z.

Step 6

After your second coat of paint has dried, place your letter stencils one at a time on your crock and dab with your dome brush dipped in Southern Gentleman rescue restore paint.

Step 7

Carefully pull the stencil off and let the letter dry before moving on. Immediately rinse out your stencil and set it aside to dry.

Tip:

This is the longest part of the process. If you would like it to go faster, you can space your letters farther apart so that you can immediately move to the next letter. I didn’t like the look of that, so I chose to wait in between.

Step 8 (Optional)

After you finish stenciling your letters, add 2 small hearts (included with the alphabet stencil set) to your crock as pictured.

Step 9 (Optional)

Lastly, add a coat of matte sealer to your painted crock after all of the paint dries.

Note:

This is totally optional but it will make the paint more durable for cleaning and everyday use.

This DIY kitchen utensils organizer makeover was so easy to do. I can’t believe I waited so long to take it on. Seriously, I’ve owned this thing for over 10 years and never once did anything with it besides wash it occasionally. Now, it is the perfect piece of decor for my kitchen.

Learn from my mistake and don’t let that ugly organizer sit on your counter any longer. Grab your paint and give that baby a makeover! Turn it into a piece you love and enjoy using. There’s no reason your decor can’t be pretty and practical!
