Because I just spent the day decorating a Christmas tree- it must be time to share some Halloween inspiration. With Halloween tomorrow- it is all about a few blasts from the past today on the blog-before we jump into all things merry & bright.
And speaking of merry & bright- stay tuned for some vintage Christmas thrifting finds.
1. Whimsical Halloween Mantel (and sneak at some favorites costumes from the past)
One of my favorite halloween mantels- this whimsical one full of twinkling trees, old houses and maybe a few spooks.
2. Charming pumpkins -with a secret.
Not necessarily halloween- unless you turn them around. These terra cotta pumpkins are so cute as is and when you flip them around.
3. Elegant Living Room
I love to add a bit of elegant decor for halloween. Lanterns, candles flickering and lots of ambiance in the house. This post all about Elegant Halloween is one of my favorites.
4. Spooky Halloween
If you are looking for a little bit more of a spooky and traditional feeling halloween table setting- this Spooky Halloween Table Setting is full of ‘halloween’ ambiance.
5. Elegant Halloween
And another halloween table setting idea if you are looking for something a little less spooky and a little more elegant.
And a few for the road that are big blasts from the past
Spiders crawling on a mirror
just tape a few spiders here and there- on a mirror, on the wall, etc and add a halloween touch in just a few minutes.
Bats on the wall – and a couple mice for fun
You can find these cutouts nearly anywhere- these are from the Dollar Store- easy and inexpensive.
A creepy chalkboard
Add a ghoulish saying to a chalkboard and tuck it into a vignette.
Stack up those pumpkins and jack o lanterns for a fun effect.
That is about it for today- happy Wednesday everyone.
I'm admiring your outdoor fireplace once again! I would love to recreate it in my next house. It is such a useful prop in decorating your outdoors…I wouldn't even have to lite it ever to be happy with it.

That mantle! Now that is my kind of Halloween decorating.
Your spooky mantel is perfect for Halloween, I love the bats flying on the wall. Kathleen in Az
Love these ideas, Courtney! Not too spooky. 🙂 I made a chalkboard recently and will have to think of something clever like yours here for Halloween.
Hope the Biltmore was everything you hoped it would be,
Barb 🙂
