I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to do this post this year. My friend, Chas, decks her home out in spooktacular style each year. Do you know how hard it is for two super busy women to find a common time to meet for pictures? Almost impossible, but we finally pulled it off today! So off we go on our tour…

A graveyard welcomes. I wish you could read all the headstones – she has wit!

The vultures totally crack me up. They picked those bones dry!

Here lies poor Ima!

Last year’s front door decor was a witch’s brew with smoke and sound effects. This year we were greeted by giant spiders! I love this but DH would totally freak out!

Take a closer look! Too cute!

I love this planter with the pumpkins tucked inside. She had another cute one
out back with cabbage and pumpkins but that picture didn’t turn out. Drat!

Check out the greeting as you come through the door!

Dining room. She replaced her regular bulbs in the chandelier
with those flickery faux gas bulbs and the effect was perfect!

It’s happy hour somewhere – check out that cheesy smile!

The witch’s chamber stocked full of potions and spells.
Her body is scattered all throughout the house!

Like here – see her hands coming out of the trunk? Her legs were in the kitchen in another one! Don’t you love how she (Chas, not the witch!) has styled this pass-through mantle? The spiders are a clever idea!

And here’s the other side of the mantle. Gotta get some of those big jars!

So I can put these fun labels on them!

No room left unspooked – even the bathroom!

I’ll have to repost some of these early in the season next year so we can implement these great ideas! And I know she’ll have lots new ideas. Hopefully we can get together before she is ready to take it down next year! Don’t forget to capture your cuties for the Halloween Party a little later on!
