My Must Watch Spooky Season Movies
One of my favorite things to do during this season besides decorating is to snuggle up and watch my favorite movies! I am not a horror movie person and I have to be in the mood for a thriller. I don’t like to be scared or anything. I love feel-good nostalgic movies that bring me back to a simpler time. All I need is my favorite beverage and a snack and I am in heaven! I posted about all of my favorite Christmas movies here so I thought this year it would be fun to share with you my favorite movies to watch during Spooky Season! Spooky Season Movies I…

Happy Hosting: Halloween Tablescape
For the second installment of my Happy Hosting series, I decided that a fun Halloween tablescape would be so fun to create. As with my Fall Tablescape, I focused a lot on texture. I started with the table covering. I dropped into Joann to see what fabrics they had available in their seasonal section and found this great vintage looking pattern! I also picked up the black and grey striped fabric that was giving me major Addams Family vibes! Once home, I started to lay the fabric out on the table to see how it would fit, I had purchased some of this webbing that people usually use to decorate…

DIY Halloween: Character Blocks
This has to be my favorite craft project of the bunch. These little character blocks turned out so cute! I hope you give them a try! Here’s what you’ll need: Square wooden dowel Acrylic paint (black, white, orange, green, purple) A piece of stick from the outdoors (for the jack-o-lantern stem) Black pipe cleaners Paintbrush Hot glue/hot glue gun Cut 5 2″ pieces from the wooden dowel.

For the Vampire, I painted the top black and made brought it…

DIY Halloween: Candle Holders
The inspiration for this project came from Pinterest! I think the glow of candles instantly makes things feel cozy which is what you want this time of year! I used these glass hurricane candle holders that I picked up at the dollar store but a mason jar would work just as well! These flameless candles are from Amazon! Here’s what you’ll need: Hurricane candle holder or mason jar Frosted glass spray paint Black acrylic paint Paintbrush Flameless candle Wash and completely dry your candle holders. In a well-ventilated area (I did this in my garage with the doors open) follow the instructions on the spray paint canister and frost the…

Decorating for Halloween
If you know me or have looked at my Instagram around the holidays you would know that I LOVE decorating. Beginning in September I get all my fall décor out and mix it in with my Halloween decorations! My philosophy with decorations is to ALWAYS go for the bargain unless there is a piece that you absolutely love and cannot live without. The clearance section and the discount bins at stores like JoAnn’s, Michaels, and Target are my jam for every decorating occasion! I also like to do holiday crafts when time permits. I don’t really have a theme when it comes to my decorating, I just use what I…
