Halloween Decor

I love Halloween. I love dressing up, so this is my kind of holiday. I think because Halloween is in October that is also why I like it so much. This is by far my favorite month of the year. I love the smells, the tastes, the weather and the coziness of homes. The only thing I was lacking, were Halloween decorations. I didn't have anything, and was having a really hard time finding anything that I wanted to buy. They sale lots of cute Halloween decorations, but I wanted spooky. Thanks to my talented friend Hayley Neil, we made our own Halloween decorations this year and I got the spooky feel I was looking for. All for under $20.

The pictures below are terrible photos, but it gives ya an idea of what it is like.

Check out that owl. What a sweet find at the D.I. Just a little spray paint on that baby and it changed the whole look! The picture in the frame is a photo I took a few years back when I lived in Romania. It is a staircase in Dracula's Castle.

We got everything at the D.I. and then just went to town with the spray paint. We found a couple of really cool items when doing this project. We got this spray paint that you spray on the inside of glass or on the back side and it makes it look like a mirror. It is way cool and gives it a great look. We did that to the vases with the roses in it. With the black over the top, it gives it an old creepy look. It is awesome. Then on the candlestick holders we painted them black then spayed gold webbing on them. It looks like gold spiderwebs. It too is pretty cool. I am so happy with the way my house looks for Halloween, and can't wait for next year when I can do more!
