Favorite Fall and Halloween Decorating Ideas

When you’re decorating for Halloween, do you choose scary or cute? Are you Halloween specific or do you go with a more general autumn theme? This year, we’re hosting a Halloween costume party, so we've gone all out Halloween through most of the house. But I do have one space reserved for more of a general autumn and Thanksgiving theme. When the Halloween decorations come down, that will take us through a month of giving thanks.

Whichever theme or style you choose, here are a few of our favorite finds for decorating ideas including our very own haunted garden. Enjoy!

Our Haunted Garden has grown a little more each year. This year's addition is the orange sign that we made to welcome our visitors. 

A couple of my favorite mantel designs come from Hometalk and the Seasonal Home.

This is one of the most original ideas I've seen for a table setting, from Weddingomania. Love the color choice, the hand and the rose. Great detail and this was from a Halloween wedding table!

Two front door designs that I really like. The first is ours (I'm partial), and the other is a more elegant design from Create Craft Love.

As for pumpkin carving, you can find just about anything. We did a traditional pumpkin this year, but my good friend, Gail and family, created a much more artistic display! 

Have a happy day!
