Decorating for Halloween

from my original post:

Matthew and I got back from Portugal and all of a sudden we were in the middle of October. Fall is my favorite season, mainly because of all the holidays. I wasn’t going to let Halloween pass us by without decorating so I got to work the day I got home…seriously! What better way to fight jet lag than to force myself to stay awake and decorate. All totally worth it!

Our entry way was the perfect place to add a little spooky Halloween touch. I got some striped candles, added a black ceramic skull, and of course spread out some cobwebs. The only thing missing is a big bowl of Halloween candy! It’s so fun coming home and seeing this. Makes me even more excited for trick-or-treaters!

Bar carts are the perfect area to add seasonal touches. I still love our woven bar cart, but I’ll admit it doesn’t offer the same versatility as a metallic bar cart would. Even still, I added some ghoulish labels to our decanters, and some fake spiders. The gummy vampire teeth are a nice little treat too! Matthew and I have been slowly devouring them..they’re so addictive!

While we had some spooky elements going on in other areas of the house, I wanted our dining room table to be more autumn-inspired. I decorated the table with some Cinderella pumpkins and two vases filled with wildflowers in a fall color palette. The red and pink apples are a nod to Snow White though! That witch was so creepy!
