Halloween Decor – Entryway

October 17, 2015~ Halloween

For this year’s Halloween decor I decided to stay away from all the garrish and gaudy plastic orange pumpkin decor that everyone always does, and opted for a more refined and classic decor.

Think Victorian-style curios and lots of candles. sure, my decor is eclectic and colourful the rest of the year, but fall makes me dream of grand New England Colonials with oodles of fresh pumpkins and loads of history.

So why decor on just one table? Because I wanted to make as few purchases as I needed to, and use items I already owned (like cake stands, cake domes, candle sticks etc). I usually go about most projects this way, but I felt it needed to be said in this case. Like Christmas, everyone thinks they need to spend a lot of money to make style work for them. Not so. All you need is some ingenuity and inspiration.

Ta-dah! Scary and classy Halloween decor all in one. We’ve got black cats, skeletons of all kinds and tons of candles for that eerie glow. P.s can you see the plastic bag full of other plastic bags hanging in the stairs behind the table? Yea, that’s what happens when you rush into a photo shoot.

I spy with my little eye some cotton buds, recycled from a previous project.

I think this little hand is delightfully sinister looking with the way the fingers are poised. The little bird is a Dollaram purchase that provides a touch of adorable fluffiness while still being scary if you’re afraid of birds.

The little pumpkins are a hold over from the thanksgiving table decor post in case you were wondering.

Bones, the rat and the spider are all from Walmart for the low low price of 3$ each. Get ’em while you can!

One final look before the table gets done up again on the 31st! I amy have small additions in which case I’ll share pics on instagram and Facebook, so make sure you follow along!

    What a fun Halloween display – and kudos for not being mainstream. I adore the hand statue. It’s a keeper – definitely.

      Thanks Monique! The hand is a beautifully creepy little thing from Michaels (the craft store) in their jewelry section!

        I’m surprised the hand is from Michaels. It has the look of a vintage jewelry holder. (I try to avoid Michaels because I always buy stuff I don’t need – and as a pack rat deluxe, it is a habit I am trying to whittle down 🙂 Thanks for the tip – I just may have to add to the packrattery.

I made some felt hand puppets for June, and they’re totes adorbs, and a great way to include more skin tones in your child’s play. Head to the blog to see how I made ours ❤️

I am this week’s feature on the @littleyellowcou I am this week’s feature on the @littleyellowcouch podcast and I gotta say - FAN 👏🏻 GIRL 👏🏻 MOMENT. I had been listening since there were 2 hosts, and really got into it when I went full time with the blog during our first year posted to Gagetown. I found my colourful voice, and started making things like this beautiful glossy blue sideboard. 
There wasn’t really anyone else doing “colour” my way in the decor space at that time (everything was white farmhouse). And while there are definitely many more who do it now (and who do it better!), I’ll never forget the freedom I felt when no one was watching what I did. It has been so incredibly bittersweet watching new accounts lap me in a matter of months (and oh so humbling), but I like to think I’m exactly where I need to be. 
My growth has been slow by today’s standards, and I’m ok with it. I still get to do what I love. 
So, if you’ve been following me since then, the very beginning, or last week - stick around! Let’s see what the next stage is like.
