H A Double-L O W Double-E N spells “Halloween”

DSCN6002

I’ve temporarily taken down the Fall decor and busted out the Halloween stuff!

I pulled out my box-o-scariness…

DSCN5952

… if you can call it “scary”

DSCN5989

I’m more of a “cutesy” seasonal decorator.

DSCN5959

I had most of my decor already, but I did make a few spray paint adjustments…

DSCN5955

I painted the wreath black as well as the candle stick that I bought months ago.

DSCN5993

For the wreath I decided to go low-key. I just painted a wreath black and hung it with a 1 1/2″ thick orange ribbon.

DSCN5964

I was planning on doing more detail on the wreath, but once it was painted I really liked it plain.

DSCN5999

I love my little crow perched up on top of the mirror. Subtle and spooky.

DSCN6005

Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter, In there stepped a stately raven of the saintly days of yore.

DSCN5962

I bought this little guy from the Dollar Spot and gave him a fresh coat of white spray paint for plastic.

I added a few subtle details…

DSCN5975

Lots of spider webs

DSCN5995

DSCN6010

and candles

DSCN5996

and hints of ribbon

DSCN6003

and cute spooky little ghosts and pumpkins

DSCN6008

and spiders.

DSCN6009

Cutesy and glitter make me giddy.

DSCN5986

And the Halloween mantle is DONE.

DSCN5962

I turned my fall table piece into a Halloween one by adding some moss and ribbon.

DSCN6017

DSCN6020

Little bits of ribbon can make anything look festive!

DSCN6024

DSCN6025

DSCN6028

DSCN6026

I used a sharpie to draw a face on the lil’ punkin’

DSCN5981

Isn’t it cute with the moss and spider and web?

DSCN5982

Who can resist a mini truffle dish with moss, skulls, and a bow?

DSCN5985

More cutesy stuff.

DSCN6030

I wish I could take credit for these, but I bought them years ago on a mega after-Halloween sale.

DSCN6037

So adorable.

DSCN6054

And of course Halloween just isn’t complete with a spooky glitter tree!

DSCN6050

Candy, anyone?

DSCN6052

Here’s to a fun,

DSCN6064

Halloween!

    I love all of your halloween stuff! I wanted to do some of the spider web stuff but I just don’t quite trust myself with it! Also, I love, love, love your fall posts! I am planning on starting some basic fall crafts next week so you will have to come and check it out!

    My computer has been dead for the last week and a half but I wanted to say thank you for featuring me on the 29th!

    Love your Halloween decor. The spider webs are always the perfect touch! And that skeleton does look better painted! I bought one, I may have to paint him.

    […] Oh, and the white skeleton on the left? He’s from the dollar store too. I just spray painted him white. […]
