Two Weeks ‘Til Halloween!

I have never done much with Halloween decorations since we didn’t have trick-or-treaters at the apartment and our anniversary is the 29th, so we are sometimes out of town over Halloween.  This year I got a little inspired by this post over at Young House Love.  They are using a more black and white, gothic theme this year that really got my juices flowing.  I stole a few of their ideas.

In the foyer I dressed up the table using some leftover cheesecloth, a fake faux pre-lit jack-o-lantern, a black wooden cake stand (found at Goodwill), and brass-painted-black candlesticks (also found at Goodwill) with bleeding candles.

On the dining room table, I sprinkled some Dollar Tree skulls into the large hurricane that was already set up for fall.

Our candy bowl was a clearance find at Kohl’s a couple of years ago.  It sits on a silly spider runner that was also picked up on clearance at Kohl’s.  (Have I mentioned that I love Kohls?)
