MORE BLACK & WHITE HALLOWEEN DECOR

As you walk up to the front door you will be met with a black and white HAPPY HALLOWEEN door mat.

This will give the guest a hint of what the party inside will be like.


As you walk into the front door you will see this table decorated with the black and white theme.

Although I am going to have to change out that picture on the wall as it just takes away from the whole black and white look. I saw a black rose wreath at Michaels the other day. I think I may have to go get that.

I also may put a black cloth on the table with some tea stained cheese cloth with ripped holes. What do you think? Do you think that would be better or should I just leave it as it is. After all it's a kids party. Do they really notice the details or is it only me?

Last year I went to Target after Halloween and I got the spider web candle holders. I think these are perfect to hold the pumpkin. Oh no! A black mouse is crawling on top of the pumpkin! YIKES!

I love that clock as it has such a Haunted House feel to it. We have it up all year and the same with the little white bird. I love that bird but felt it was great for the black and white Halloween theme too. A scary bird is what it is turned into. LOL


Meet Wanda. I keep telling her she must eat more but she just won't. She is sitting on top of a white candle holder that I normally have in my office with a pretty pink candle on it. Her hat is from the 99 cent store. I made the BOO letters. I got them at Michaels and painted them black the sprinkled Martha Stewart black glitter on them. They turned out great.

The ugly skull head is from a clearance bin from last year and here is another one of the spider candle holders I got from Target. This time I have a black and white candle holder on top. I got this from Target's Halloween clearance also last year.


These are some of Wanda's beauty products. There is Rat Scat & Whisker Sauce that keeps her complexion nice and clear. Tragic Magic Worm Slime that she uses on her hair. OK, so since she doesn't have any hair I don't know if that means it doesn't work very well or if she likes that look and it works wonderful. Then there is The Heebie Jeebies that she uses for her special smell she has.


Even the kitchen oven got a little black and white pick me up.



I know, my decorations are not really SPOOKY. But then again, isn't Halloween meant to be fun. My decorations are really for Trinity and her friends. They are at the age where they like a little scary but not enough to really scare them. I think I got that going. Don't you?

Hugs,

Joanne

BLACK AND WHITE HALLOWEEN

This year I'm going to decorate in mostly black and white for Halloween.

I started to buy stuff last year once everything was on clearance. I got things for at least 50% off and some as low as 90% off!
I've only gotten my fireplace decorated so far.


I'm not sure if I'll change it or not. I think it's ok. What do you think?


I've got Martha Stewart bats flying out of the fireplace up the wall.



The black stand I have the white pumpkin on I got from TJ Maxx. It was in really bad condition and was silver with a lot of the paint chipped off. I found it in the clearance section and knew right away what I would do with it.

A little black paint and black glitter and I had my pumpkin stand!

I also got the picture frame on clearance at TJ Maxx. It also got painted black and sprinkled with black glitter. The little white pumpkin is real and was only 43 cents at Vons.

The crow and sign was from Target last year. I think they were only $1.50 each.


I have wanted to use this vintage witch picture for years. I finally got to this year. I just love those little women dressed up drinking tea.


These pumpkins were 75% off at Target last year. I love the black & white polka dots on the stem of the big one. The black glitter BOO sign I got at a cute little shop in Oak Glen, which is up in the mountains. We go there once a year so this sign brings back fun memories.


This black wicker pumpkin was 90% off and I didn't really like it when I saw it but I think it looks good with all the other things around.


Sadly, I couldn't find any of the black crows with feathers. But, I did find this black owl. His eyes look pretty creepy to me.

Well, that's all I've gotten up so far. I have lots more to do but being sick is keeping me from doing it all at once.

I'll post more as I dig things out.

Hugs,
Joanne
