{halloween decor – just a little…}

>

I wanted to do a ton of decorating for Halloween this year, i LOVE Halloween -  i had plans, BIG plans i tell ya, but things got in the way.  I have sold a bunch of furniture lately and some custom orders in the works – so i am busy!  I’ll post some before and afters soon :)

Until then, here is a my mantel that i threw together.  I had some old shutters – spray painted them black, sanded them down, and then screwed them together all crazy like.

I think it needs something in the middle of the shutters – i tried a book wreath but i wasn’t feelin it…

I stopped on the way home from work and broke some sticks off an old dead tree then i threw some spanish moss on them and some little dollar store birdies – i wish i would have bought a hundred more of those little birds – maybe next year…

  I took the binding off some old books and tied them together with some burlap ribbon – i love that burlap ribbon – its my new favorite thing, at least for this week anyways :) Here is my entry way – i just gathered some bird cages from around the house, sprinkled some spanish moss everywhere and then lit a ton of candles – i love lit candles – especially for halloween

 

My normal wreath was replaced with a twig wreath – my kids pics were covered up with dollar store spooky pictures

And here is a little cutesy halloween tree that i have – but i am so over cutesy…

I have a few more things to finish up – i will show you those pics in a couple of days – and yes i know Halloween is only a couple of days away and i am still decorating!!  But i have people coming over so things gotta be cute right?!  I am just taking my sweet time….!!!
