Boo!! It’s spooky how quickly October snuck up on us! I usually decorate for Halloween on October 1st, but this year I wanted to keep my fall decor out (check it out: here) a little longer.I kept my fall decor very neutral, but I love orange, black, purple, and everything in between for Halloween! I’ve been collecting decor for the last 2 or 3 years so you can’t get some of the pieces I have, but I’ll link what I can in the captions of the pictures.
I inherit a lot of my style and get tons of inspiration from my mom and Grandma. They both collect these Gathered Traditions dolls, so last year I started my own collection. This witch was a gift from my Grandma, and I think she is adorable. I felt like she was enough of a focal point to be the only thing I added in the room.
On my mantle, I have my other two Gathered Tradition’s dolls. These two are still available, so click the clink under the picture and search for their names! I wanted them to be the centerpiece of my mantle, so I placed them on either side of this adorable black pumpkin from Target.
I balanced either side of my mantle with a black lantern that I got a few years ago at Hobby Lobby, and these candle sticks. I got the candlesticks from Michael’s last year, but I linked a very similar pair. The books were actually a DIY project that cost less than $5 and was super easy! Look out for a blog post about them on Friday!! I absolutely love how they came out and they worked perfectly to balance the candle sticks’ height with the lantern’s.
My coffee table stayed pretty simple. I switched out my grey and white pumpkins with some miscellaneous black, purple, and silver pumpkins I had laying around.
I added this “Beware” pillow to my couch that I got from Kirkland’s last year. Unfortunately, they don’t have it this year, but you should go check out all of their other cute pillows!!
My corner shelf was super fun to decorate! I put these Target Dollar Spot pumpkins in my hurricane jar; the purple skull on the top shelf is also from Target (surprise surprise). Finally, I added a fabric pumpkin I made to the books on the bottom shelf. Overall, I think all of the decor on my shelf added just the right amount of halloween spirit to my house!
