My Halloween Decor

I'm so proud! I love everything I've put up this year and most of it came from the Dollar Tree and Target. Two of my favorite spots. Now that I've been off work (waiting on this little baby to arrive) I've had some spare time to get my Halloween decorations set-up. I know it's a little early, but with the baby arriving any day I just wanted to have everything in order. Hmmm...I think they call that nesting.

This is my entryway table and mirror. I went with a black and ivory theme for this table.
The silver and ivory pumpkins are from Target. The "Bat Motel" sign --$1 at the Dollar Tree along with the black crow that I attached to the silver pumpkin! The two glass candleholders were also $1 each at the Dollar Tree. And the Trick or Treat sign was $5 at TJ Maxx.

Moving on to my living room sideboard. I went with the more traditional black and orange here...




I got these frames from the Dollar Tree and spray painted them with a glossy black. I then purchased some halloween themed scrapbook paper at Michael's (nothing to cheesy though). I picked out some fun fonts on dafont.com, one is called Chiller and the other is called Circus Ornate, and printed the words "Boo", "All Hallow's Eve", "Spooky", and "31" on the scrapbook paper. Such a thrifty little project and I really like the way they turned out.

Oh, and I got the apothecary jar in the background at TJ Maxx for $8 and filled it with bags of candy corn from the Dollar Tree.

I also got this gorgeous glittered pumpkin at Target. I think it was $6.99. I did see a tutorial on how to make these on Martha Stewart.com, but I don't think $6.99 is a bad deal without having to put any work into it. I put my lovely glittered pumpkin on a candlestick that I picked up at, where else? The Dollar Tree!


And here's the full frontal...

I can't get enough of Martha!

I really wanted to wait to do this post until at least September 1st, but I just can't seem to get these Martha Stewart Halloween images out of my mind. For me, decorating for fall ranks right up there with decorating for Christmas. I just get so excited. There were so many ideas on Martha's Website, but I had to narrow it down for this post. I'm going to show you my three favorites.

My ABSOLUTE favorite-- Glittered Pumpkins

I can't wait to make these! See how here

Favorite #2-- Shimmering Pumpkins

I think I will definitely be attempting these too. I have high hopes-we'll see how much spray painting I get done with a new infant come October. As you can see, I'm all about the pumpkins. I think that's just more my style than witches and bats. I like the pumpkin theme because you get more bang for your buck, since you can keep them out through Thanksgiving. See how to make these here. And you could even use gold or copper metallic paint if that's more your speed.


Favorite #3-- Candy Jar Treats and FREE printables!

We all know that everyone LOVES a candy buffet. This one's great for Halloween and on top of that, free printable labels from Martha. She must love us as much as we love her! Get your free printable labels here
