Halloween Decorations

We decorated the house this weekend for Halloween. As per my kids, I needed to make it a little more spooky then my borish decorations from previous years. Hey...I keep it pretty tamed. I'm not too into the scary side of Halloween. I was excited to get out my Martha Stewart Halloween glitter set that I bought last year at the end of the season for 50% off. It sat for a whole year and I'm glad I didn't forget about it. I made a glitter Halloween banner that should last a few years. And the kids glittered up some plastic skeletons that we used on a wreath that I spray painted black. Cobwebs and plastic black spiders are an easy Halloween decoration. As you can see, I'm not too into kitschy holiday decor that just adds clutter. But that's just me!

We picked up some tree branches from our Sunday walk that I also spray painted black and then added paper crows from the Martha Stewart line. More cobweb and spiders on the family picture frame and the black chandelier. I think that's all I'll do this year. Next year I'll try to spoof up the exterior.

  3. It was a Home Goods find that I painted blue and distressed it. The piece was damaged on the bottom leg that you can't really see now. So it was discounted a really good price. I think I'm going to change those knobs out.
