the colored door: Halloween Mantle

Well we have skipped the 60's and 50's and gone right to 40 degrees, Brrr. Everyone is getting in the mood because I had a hard time finding boots in my kids sizes last night. The cold weather always seems to come too early. I have been enjoying the fire place and warm drinks though. Their is something very cozy about the cold weather.

I finally got my Halloween mantle put together and I really like it. Last year was the first year we decorated for Halloween, because the kids were begging. Of course it is not scary or bloody enough for my son. I have to remind him his younger sisters don't like to be scared nor do their friends that stop by to play (and I don't like the bloody creepy stuff either, but for now I will blame the girls).

I found the crow candle and all the glassware at Home Goods last year. The purple flowers were on clearance from World Market last year. The chevron picture was a DIY I did recently.

I love how my "BOO" turned out. It was the first time I free handed a chalk picture. I usually get inspiration from Pinterest or something. I may have to try to be more creative in the future.

And every house should have some paper bats, so fun!

I love the bats on the wall. I found a great template last year here. I just used black card stock and put them on the wall with Handi-tak.

That is about it for our Halloween decorations. Do you decorate a lot for Halloween? Won't be long and it will come down for Thanksgiving decorations. This fall is going to fast.

I hope you have a Wonderful Day!
