Halloween House Details
One part spooky, one part chic is my recipe for Halloween decorating. I get my cheap thrills in the form of glittered bugs, gilded snakes and natural elements. I love that Halloween is on a weekend this year, so I’m looking forward to a chilly couple of days watching supernatural thrillers with a lots of popcorn and candy. Here’s a look at a few of the spooky scenes around our house this year.
Samsung Frame TV art: Francisco de Goya y Lucientes ‘A Way of Flying’
Kitchen witches
White dahlias + white ironstone
A rat in the grain
Mice on my sconces
Mice with a penchant for French antiques
Black tapers in the dining room
…and in the foyer
Snakes in my gardenia
Blue morphos in the sitting room
Bugs on our coffee table
(They look even better once glittered)
A glittering beetle
A fluted glass vase with trailing nasturtiums becomes a glass pumpkin
A tray of spiders
A wreath of ‘Sweet Annie’ on our garden shed
Ghostly pumpkins at our front door
Black birds congregate on some buttonweed
A glowing welcome
