We decorate throughout the main living areas of our house, and the outside as well. We have orange lights we put on the roof along with a myriad of other decorations. It makes me laugh sometimes, the way we decorate for Halloween... it is similar to the costume choices my husband and I make. I like decorations that are fun and cute and festive. My husband likes decorations that are gross and bloody and half dead. So, we have a weird little mix of both. I left some of "his" decorations out of the photo tour... just know that they are there. (Our newest addition to decorations this year: a fake dead deer tied up like a dog on our roof... "boys will be boys")
Many of the decorations we have we inherited from my in-laws. When Brandon lived at home, he was the one who got excited about decorating for Halloween. When he moved out, his parents figured the decorations would get more use at our house than theirs. Each year we usually purchase a few new things here and there. Of course, a few of the items I have crafted myself. When you put it all together, I think it is a nice mix.

I made this monogram pumpkin with puff paint, very easy way to add a little personalization to your decor
You can purchase this set of wood block pumpkins over at my Etsy shop
This would be one of my husband's ideas... first thing you see when you walk in the door! The cats love to play with the foot too...
Check out my tutorial for this mesh wreath here
Well, there you have it! We still have a few things left to do... put up the cornstalks onto the porch columns, carve pumpkins, etc. I also have a few pieces I put out only for our Halloween party like a "trick-or-treat" banner and a cauldron that fills will fog.
Decorations came from various places, but just to name a few: Michael's, Hobby Lobby, Gordman's, Pier 1, Spirit Halloween stores, Target
What kind of decorations do you like to put up for Halloween, scary or festive?
