Halloween Home Decor does not have to be childish or gory. It can be just slightly dark and dreary and a bit “off.” And grown up. I have tried to create just that feeling in my own home decor, this year. No slime anywhere! No blood and guts. Just a feeeeling. Moments of darkness, in a good-witch sort of way. Here’s my house, in honor of all that is creepy and slightly haunted…
It’s mostly about the mantle. It lends itself to a dark look, crying out to all who pass by.
But other parts of the house were touched by the spirit(s) of All Hallows Eve decor…
Tiny Witch watches over the room.
Less is sometimes more. Even in Halloween Decor! I only decorated the great room, the kitchen is a tiny way, and the powder room. Isn’t it telling when several different people have mentioned that I decorated “everywhere??” It’s the perception, but not the reality. Decorate where people will most see it. That’s my lesson learned over the years.
Orange speaks of Fall and Halloween!
Simple is best on kitchen table
My desk in the sunroom gets some added autumnal touches!

Halloween doesn’t have to be about being frightened. It can be celebrated as a time of warmth, and friends gathering around the fire, maybe telling a ghost story or two, and brewing up some awesomely wicked good times.
After the doorbell stops ringing, and we find November knocking on the door, all I have to do is remove a few “Boos” and bats and rats, and call it Thanksgiving!
Happy Halloween!
OMG It’s been so long since I have been here I almost freaked out when I realized it was YOU!!!!!!!!!!
It looks fantastic! Oh and love the Halloween decor as well LOL
Thanks so much for finding “me” Kelley! You have inspired me so much, and I hope to post more and build my content! Here’s to moving forward, even if it is in baby steps!
Well, I’m way behind- don’t know why your emails suddenly stopped showing up, but I’m here now and resubscribed. Love your decorations, and I recognize that “clock.” 😀
Sheila! Thanks for resubscribing! I still have to find out why I lost ALL of my subscribers! I love my clock that you repurposed! It stays on my mantle whatever the season. Next up will be my “other” mantle, dressed for Christmas! I’d better hurry!
