Splattering the SpOoKy

It's official! the Tubs-o-Halloween junk have come out from hiding in our garage, YAY! Hello friendly tubs :)

Time to splatter the SpOoKy around the rest of the house :)
First addition - my pretty painted pumpkins that I made last year (read about them here). I felt like they needed a boost this year so using my merchandising skills (I used to do merchandising for a local boutique), I staged them. I found some awesome white-washed basket planters on sale at IKEA for $1.99 and they make the perfect pumpkin "risers." See....

Here's a closer look: (disregard the super stylish save-your-head-from-cracking-open bumpers on the fireplace edge. Chic, I know).

I used a sharpie to add some black "stitches" to the baskets just to give them some interest.

(the witch pumpkin was from target a few years ago)

I like 'em. I'm a pumpkin girl I guess :)

Here's shot from the coffee table...

I'm hoping Hayden doesn't realize that the candy corns in the mason jar are actually edible. This could get interesting :)

I hung up the paper bunting that I made a couple years ago over the "den."

and my little bird cage now has a pumpkin friend :)

My dining table got a few spooky trinkets too :)

That's about it (for now). My living room looked like this minutes after I took all of these pictures. Ha ha. Keepin' it real!

It's a gloomy rainy day here in SoCal and it definitely feels like Fall (happy dance).
Happy Day to you fine people!!!
