Halloween Decorating



My daughter and I love Halloween but she likes it even more than I do. So much so that she couldn't wait for October to start decorating. This is our living room window during the day.


This is what it looks like at night with the lights turned on. 


This is the shelves and cabinet. There's a little Halloween tree in the middle there.


One of the corners in the living room. 


Another corner of the living room. 

I made that pumpkin tree a few years ago. I bought all the supplies at Michael's and glued it all together. I think it's cute.

The wall above the couch.The spiders hanging down from the ceiling are attached to a plastic web that goes from one end to the other of my living room. 

This is the wall that leads to the hallway, bathroom and bedroom. 

The monster over the bathroom door, 

Some of the statues light up. This is what it looks like at night.

My grandson painted a pumpkin that we put on the cabinet. 

My daughter added lights to the Halloween tree on the cabinet. 

Do you decorate for Halloween?

  2. Rotten blogger is refusing to load the images for me. I will revisit later and hope it has relented.
    Enjoy your Halloween.

  3. Hi, Mary!

    Wow, you guys are all set for H-ween, dear friend! Your living room window scene glowing with eerie light at night is a fright to behold. Inside, you have a remarkable display no matter which direction you turn. I never heard of a Halloween tree before, but I like yours. Clearly you and your daughter love this time of the year and go all out. During my second bachelorhood in the 1980s, I had vintage horror movies posters lining my living room walls all year round, plus life-size cardboard cutouts of Freddy Krueger and Elvira Mistress of the Dark standing guard over them. (Cassandra Peterson is now age 70.) All of your decorations pop when the sun goes down and the lights come on.

    Enjoy the rest of your week, dear friend Mary!

    1. There was a Ray Bradbury novel called The Halloween Tree. I don't know if Halloween trees were a thing before that, but they certainly are now.

    2. My daughter saw pictures of other people's Halloween tree's and wanted to make one. Ours had tiny Halloween ornaments on it as well as the lights.

  4. Wow. Just...wow. That is a lot! However, all lit, your window looks amazing.
    Don't worry, there are dozens of houses in our neighborhood who also have Halloween decorations up.

    1. We love decorating. We decorate for Christmas too.

  5. What a set of displays! I assume the skulls are those of some of your annoying neighbors? Locally-sourced organic decorations are always the most environmentally friendly.

    Seriously, it's impressive. And having put it up early, you'll have a whole month (at least) to enjoy it.

    I don't decorate any more since it's just me here. I do eventually "decorate" the blog with Halloween posts, though.

    1. Thank you. My daughter loves to decorate for the holidays. We will decorate for Christmas too.

      Too bad they aren't the skulls of my neighbors but I can fantasize.

  15. I love Halloween and am just excited to start decorating as your daughter. She really does go all out, and I love it. I'm more restrained with doing my door and putting out a few Halloween themed items. This year I'll be adding lights to the patio and a window decal. Do you get trick or treaters? I don't, but wish we did.

  22. How wonderful! I love it. I have my fall stuff up now and will put my Halloween stuff up this weekend.

  23. This is amazing! It's like a Halloween paradise. I ccan only put out a few things because of my bratty cats and clumsy people around here breaking my things.

    1. Thank you. I can imagine that having cats would make decorating hard.
