I decided that this year I'll keep the interior Halloween decor simple. I gathered a couple of my cake stands on our vintage silver tray and added a large glitter skull to the black stand. I filled the domed stand with miniature skulls and added my black pumpkins to the silver candy dish. Add a couple of orange votives, a candle, a bottle, a black bird and eyeball, and we are set for this year. Maybe I'll drape some spiderwebs, but I find them tedious to remove. This set-up is really great because I can lift the whole thing off the table easily when we need room for dinner.
Last year we decorated the shelf above the TV, but that means I need to put away our existing display and I'm just not up to re-arranging things this year. We'll still decorate our window with bats and spiders and some luminaries, and our outdoor decorations will go up soon - I'll keep you posted on those projects.
Do you go all out on Halloween or do you ignore the whole event? Do you decorate kid friendly or scary?
I'm not a Halloween fan but I could totally go for this display. I love the cloche full of skulls and the simple burning candle.
ReplyDeleteI decorate around the door and outside...
ReplyDeleteI can't wait until the little ones want to really join in the decorating...because I want to make it the BEST HALLOWEEN HOUSE EVER!!
(It isn't as much fun for them to watch mom hanging the decorations...so I keep it simple for now)
We really don't do Halloween as much as others. My hubby grew up in a country that didn't celebrate Halloween and he finds the whole occasion totally bizarre and macabre. (And looking at it from his perspective ... it kind of is, I guess!) I think your display is might fine though!
ReplyDeleteBecause we didn't celebrate Halloween in Switzerland I love it that much more here ;) I love the spookiness and how the kids get into it.
