Halloween

Do you decorate for Halloween? Ghosts, goblins and witches or pumpkins, fall leaves and candles? Halloween seems to be the great debate on decorating. Do you welcome the dark spirits into your home? That was what I was told growing up. My mum is English and we did not allow anything dark in our home. My mum always decorated with fall leaves, candles and pumpkins as the center piece. It was also a nice transition into Thanksgiving. 

Front porch decorating has become a business for many people. Front porches set the tone of your home, give curb appeal and offer a fun way to show a little personality. I like to get height on my porch and I always layer to ensure you have dimension and not just a flat front. This year, I decided to add Fantasy Pumpkins and bought these adorable light up trees in birch wood. My theme was ‘Fantasy Spook”. I propped these whimsical, happy skeletons to add the spook. 

Whether you decide to decorate to really scare the socks off the treaters, or play with some color and traditional Fall themes…have fun with Halloween on your porch. Be sure to have heights and layers, add a pop of color and give yourself a theme so you stay focused. 

Happy haunting….
