A Haunted Home for Halloween


My husband and I LOVE Halloween, and every couple of years, we host a costume party at our house. We always look forward to the parties, but they are A LOT of work, and so it was nice this year to be able to relax and be much more subtle with our Halloween decor.

No mummies or zombies or entire rooms covered in spiders this year... but it's amazing how far a few green lightbulbs and orange accents will go in creating a spooky home for Halloween.

I made flowers from orange yarn using Clover pom-pom makers from JoAnn's, and I love the way they look lined up along our dining room table.

My daughter went Trick-or-Treating yesterday as a purple butterfly, but I've used her wings all month to add a little whimsy to our spooky decor. She loves those wings, so we'll keep them out and see how well they mesh with the greens and reds of our Christmas decorations...

Happy Halloween!!!
