Halloween decorating just right!

Starting with my  Halloween decorating. First of all I want you to know that this dinning room hutch is actually my basement entertainment center with a & $100.00 side board put in the middle of it. I think is looks great together, so remember things can be what ever you want them to be. On the table are also 3 cake stands I bought at TJ MAX (my favorite place) , I took out the lime green ribbon and put in a black Halloween ribbon. Dusted everything and have it ready to go!

I grabbed a latter and started on top-the key to what I think looks good is layers. I put what ever I can find up there to bring things high, medium and then low, but everything is raised because you are all ways looking up so you have to see things.

See the Avon box under the pumpkin, I have 2 shoe boxes under the medium pumpkin and a big box under the small pumpkin and I also put it on a stand I bought at the thrift store for $1.00 and painted black.Then I covered it with a black sheer cloth and added the mums and greenery plus some loopy curtly black stuff?

Then I grabbed my green swag and wired a scull I bought at the dollar store, threaded lights threw it and then filled it in with a Halloween garland I bought at Krumpets and Orange glitter balls and hung 5 flying bats from it.

I did my layer thing again on the side board. I put a big box under the biggest cake stand, a smaller box under the medium one and nothing under the small cake stand. I love cake stands! If you ever see one for a good price grab it-they are wonderful for layering with! 

I then set up my Peanuts village, I don't have many pieces at all so setting them up this way helps it to look grander then it really is. For Halloween I use the moss a lot, I love the way it looks!

Then just add your fall leaves and floral, I have had some of my fall floral for at least 15 years! Don't try to buy everything at once, hit the after season sales and put it away because if you store it, it can last forever.

See the up side down black basket, I just cover it with this orange material I bought on sale last year.

Now just start filling the shelves in with your Halloween treasures. As you can see I love Jack the Pumpkin King! The plate is just a thrift store find with the letters BOO hot glued to it. I got the letters for $.99 at Micheals. The pillar candles I made from PVC pipe, I will post how.

Candles I got for $3.00 at a yard sale.

I love how it turned out! At night when it all lights up it looks great. I hung my straw and paper roses wreath here and I think it fits perfectly. 

So there you have it! Go have fun and remember if you try something new and just don't like it-sleep on it. The good fairy sometimes comes during the night and in the morning when you see it again, you just might like it! Seriously! We are our owns hardest critics, relax and remember it's your house, the only person who has to like it is you!
