FALL DECORATING - PART ONE

After a busy weekend and some procrastinating on my part I have finally gotten around to showing off some of my Halloween decorating. Before I start my show and tell be sure to check out OVER THE TOP STUDIOS for a giveaway and to see her amazing Halloween creations. You will not be disappointed!

Let the show and tell begin...

The main focal point is this wire shelf in my dining room.
It is not my favorite piece but I do LOVE it for Halloween.
With 3 little ones running around I found that grouping everything
together in the dining room was the best way to keep my sanity and
not spend the day saying "DON'T TOUCH"!

I have said it before I LOVE this guy. I used a big birch bark candle as a riser.

I just like this angle so I had to show it...



A couple of pieces by Greg Guedel - so festive!
The black cat in the back is by Dan DiPaolo. I love
his grin. He looks like Chandler from "Friends" the
episode where he and Monica take their engagement
pictures. Hubby is the one who noticed that so we
affectionately call him "Chandler"

Wendy Addison Black Cat Moon

I bought this rattle a couple years ago and it never seemed
to work anywhere but I think I like it wired to the shelf.

I am a sucker for a cute black cat!



Probably my favorite cat, a Christopher Radko ornament.
Too big for my feather tree so I wired her to the shelf.

Not sure how I feel about the mask, but I do love
my candleabra!

TIP: Cheap frames from Walmart a couple years ago.
I painted them black, sanded the edges and covered the inside
with glitter. The pictures were cards from HomeGoods that I plan
to accent with glitter...sometime..

Fun project I made using those plastic treat pumpkins,
crepe paper and glitter. Maybe I will do a tutorial if I have time
before Halloween. Very easy to do!

Pumpkins and leaves above the doors that lead to the pool.

Halloween pillows on my bench. I need more pillows!

Not the best picure, I hope to get a better one.
A black crow is perched in my leaf covered chandelier.

I just love Bethany Lowe's postcard inspired
figures. Here they are grouped together on a
mercury glass cake stand with Halloween bottlebrush trees.

I started decorating August 1st and I still am not quite finished. With the kids, the opening of the store and my just not knowing where to put things in my new house it has taken forever. Right now I am over it and ready for Christmas... But as Halloween approaches and the weather is finally starting to cool down I am getting in the mood again.

Have a great week!

Best wishes,
Tammy
