Decorating for Halloween


via
If you haven't started decorating for Halloween yet, these images will inspire you! My youngest was born on Halloween and of course we have a big celebration, so I like to do some fun and festive decorating.

Isn't this owl grand?
 I absolutely love it, am inspired by it and must create something similar to it!

The mantle is one of my favorite places to decorate for Halloween. 
When I get mine done I will share it with you.

I don't know if white pumpkins are a product of genetic modification- but if they are, what a great success!
I think they are incredible- not to replace orange pumpkins but as a compliment to them. They are amazing!

via

Every year, the kids and I do a Halloween project. 
This is what we will be taking on this year and I'll put together a tutorial for you. We are collecting our jars -stay tuned for that.

Use florist foam (available at craft stores) to create these fresh flower pumpkins.


via

Another idea that I will use this year- I'm so excited to decorate this year! 
"Honey- get the stuff down from the loft!"

What do you think of the painted squash skeleton heads? Aren't they cute :)


via

A very clever way to decorate a bookcase.


via

Of course you need some spooky candles!

via

A beautiful and understated fall table setting.

Hopefully, this year we won't need the fireplace before October 31st!
This is a cute display.


via

Absolutely my style -Love, love, love!


via

Pumpkin totems are fun. I like these with the stars and moon glowing.


via

You know I love birds- even crows (except when they wake me early in the morning with their incessant "caws"). They are a great decoration for Halloween- Poe would agree!


via

Cloches make everything look better.


via

Notice how the carving matches the wall covering. Details, details!

This image inspired me so much that I decided to paint some pumpkins of my own and sell them! Thus my infrequent postings as of late. Sorry! 
I'm hoping to have my pumpkins at Village Ace Hardware by the end of the week. 
Baldwinsville store for sure, hopefully, Fayetteville store as well. I'll keep you posted.

Below are a couple of mine

Do you decorate for Halloween?

  5. You got me even more excited for Fall and Halloween! I love it all and these are some great images - too many favorites! That is so fun that your son's birthday is Halloween - it must be a lot of fun around your house. This is great inspiration for me to get out my fall decor.

  7. I don't usually decorate for Halloween other than sticking an uncarved pumpkin out on my front stoop, but your pictures are so inspiring. Maybe this year I'll make the effort!
