Halloween Living Room

Today I'm posting pictures of some of my living room decorations. There's a little bit scattered throughout, but these are some vignettes, if you will.


Here is s look at the "mantel" over the TV. (Hey, you work with what you've got!)

I was feeling particularly in-the-season, so I took some pictures of the mantel with a filter to give things a spooky look. Once you scroll down, there are some regular pictures so you can see it clearly, too.

See more after the jump.

And here are the "real" shots:

I made the urns by gluing a candlestick to a glass vase from Dollar Tree. I got the idea from the Dollar Store Crafts blog. I made the "BOO" letters from a design from, who else, the Graphics Fairy. Some pumpkins, gourds, a few spiders and rubber snakes, and voila!


*I am linking my mantel to a linky party at The Stories of A2Z. So if you want to see more great mantels, head there!


And this is the cut-out between my living room and dining room. I hung a glow-in-the-dark lettered banner and a stuffed fabric pumpkin on the sill. I'll post pictures tomorrow of the stuff you can sort of see in the dining room. :)

These are just some of the other places I have decorated around my living room that I took picture of with my "spooky" technique. 

 The pumpkin on top of the bookshelf is my trick-or-treating pumpkin from my childhood. I put orange twinkle lights in it so I can use it,  even though I'm grown up now. 

 I thought the hourglass looked perfectly witchy!

I made the pumpkin stand by gluing a plate and candlestick together. Total cost: $2. Whee! I taped the sparkly skull to another candlestick for a bit of presence and symmetry.

Let me know what you think! I really do appreciate all your comments!
