Hocus Pocus

Happy Halloween!

I didn’t get around to getting as much decorating done this year as I had hoped.  There was just way too much going on this month.  If you saw my guest post on Brooklyn Limestone (loving her theme this year!) you will get a general idea of how my house was supposed to look.

I had craft ptojects I wanted to get completed which I just never got around to.  So I plan on completing them through the next 365 days so next year I am prepared.

I have been on the lookout for a mannequin for ages.  I love how Cathy’s cottage turned out as featured on The Old Painted Cottage.  Her mannequin looks great and certainly provides a great opportunity to decorate all year long.

For a long time now I have wanted to do a gallery wall in my dining room.  For the season I would replace the photos with ghoulish ones like these.

It’s amazing what you can find on Google.

These velvet pumpkins are way out of my price range but I think I can make them myself out of scraps.  I am loving the colors.

I’m sort of a non-traditional girl when it comes to holiday decorating.  My home is a pretty neutral color palate so I can choose colors I love as accents which is really easy.  My walls are grey and the moldings are white.  This year I had wanted to do a blue and green theme to my Halloween.  Check out my Pinterest inspiration board.
